hi I'm 16 and i have an 85 firebird i just bought it for 450$ it had a sh*ty little 2.8 .once i pulled that out my dad saw a totaled intrepd with a 3.5 at a dealership this is the same engine that is in the plymouth prowler, so we pulled the motor i wanted to keep the rwd so i trade the tranny with 500$ for a 5spd prowler tranny
i have just finished puting it in tonight . i love her
first thing i did was a bunout much more torquey then the 2.8 and better gas milage then a v8

 

Damn, you put an Intrepid motor in your car.


I have gotta see pics of that....

 

Yea, I wanna see that. What state are you in again??? Isn't that a FWD motor??? How the hell did that work???? It's still EFI?????

 

well i am in canada
the intrepid motor is fwd but the 3.5 is also uesd in the plymouth prowler that is rwd so i jus got a prowler tranny it bolted right to the engine but it was a pain in the *** to make motor mounts

 

Now thats an interesting swap ive never heard of before....i give you props for that. Get any performance numbers out of it yet? post pictures man i gotta see this.

 

Pictures = proof

Otherwise, I'm callin'

 

i'm calling bs too until I see pictures, Where in canada r u from?

The 3.5's in the intrepids made mad power for a v6!

What about the exhaust, fuel, computer, wiring harness, relays, and all that other stuff needed for an engine swap. What did you do with those? If you really did do the swap then give us some full details. A Dodge in GM, thats interesting.

 

that thing has almost as much hp as an L98 but not near the torque though, but i just can't see how it was possible to do it, maybe its 1986_Camaro_19 again? i certainly hope not, prove me wrong please.......PLEASE!

 

LMFAO!!!!! Nah, he has about 5 other user names but they're all listed around the same area of the world. I don't think he could have dreamed something like this up. He's more insistent that his Topaz is a 1-of-100 with a DOHC 3.0 V6 (but still a Ford motor).

I haven't heard from him in awhile....

 

Well, like a few others, i will have to raise my little flag until i see some proof. If you did do this, great job, if you didn't



So here is my flag


prove me wrong, and i will put my flag away

 

Well, he -does- know enough to say that he had to make motor mounts. Not sure about how this prowler's transmission went in, or any driveshaft specifications...

And yeah, firebird/intrep, go get one of those $12 disposable cameras, take some pictures, then get them developed "to CD". Most developing shops can do that now... takes about a week to get 'em back. Then put the pictures up, because you'll have proof of owning the only 3.5L intrepid-powered 3rd gen f-body in the world!!

 

There is a 3.0 V6 5 speed productin topaz Im just not sure its DOHC definatly not one out of 100. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...SFI&PageSync=2 .

I would be very impressed if this freak of nature car is real, hell I think everyone here would insist that you become moderator over at the motor swap board. Please post pics we want to beleive.

 

If this worked I know where I would be heading.
But first pictures.

But I somehow I feel this could be another camaro rulz joke.
If not I will be impressed.

 

well the 3.5 was short lived my dad went to his work with it and he was showin off and he blew the engine, now i have a blown 3.5 with semi new tranny so i guess its back to my little 2.8 sadly. its better than walking to school. i really liked the 3.5 i got the speed fever now i am really gonna put some $$$$$$$$ into my 2.8 you guys know any performance tips and my dad will kill me if i get nos thanks

i will try to get some pics

 

figurez......

 

Hmm... what do I think....

 

 

Lame.

 

*LAUGHS*
HAHAGHAHAHAHAHA

I hate
Yup my dad blew the engine showing off, hahahaha. What a big pile of crap.

Someday us V-6'er's will get respect, if we keep people like this off the board.

 

what a bunch of ****in bull****, go away you troll...

But if you STILL want to prove it, I'm sure you still have the trans and motor laying around, surely you didn't junk it yet, take pics of it...

 

OH now, we'll see pics of the tranny, and the engine, seperate, right?

*runs to local boneyard to snap pics*


:lala:

 

your dad must be a very good driver!

 

LOL!!!

 

 

One more thing......my dads 84 lincoln motor with almost 300,000 miles wouldn't blow if i showing off with it....how does a new intrepid motor blow so easily... bs:

 

I dont get it... Why do people keep coming up with these bull**** 3rd gen V6 stories, you dont see much of this over in the other forums, first we had the 15.1 1/4 with just some headers and now this fool,.

 

Guess what?
I found a Civic in the Boneyard!
Vtech, too!
Wiring Harneses.
With a good 5 Speed Trandmission.
I bought them both for $600 Canadian.

I Took the 2.8 out and put the 1.6L in.w/ The 5 Speed Transmition.
Took the computer out of the Honda and made a custom chip.
Converted over to FWD.
Buh bye RWD.
I got Mad traction now.
I cant spin the tires with this vtech baby.
Too good of traction.
Beter Fuel Economy
And its FASTER!
Man when Vtech kicks in, It's like as powerful as a 2.5L.

 

Good, because if you could, then you might show off and blow the engine.

 

Lets raise that flag once more. If this was ture (I wish it were) with all the time invested into this car's swap and extensive modifications to the crosmembers to mount the intrepid engine and wiring to make it work the car would be useless unless the blown 3.5 was replaced with another 3.5 readily avalible at any bone yard $500-700. Theres no way someone would do all that just to go back to a chevy platfrom.

 

Thats what i was thinking SSC
