It's my brother. The one that I posted the handyman thread.

Hes not that computer savy

Yep, Brian was the real genius when it came to wiring those swaps. That firewall connection on the OBD1's was a nightmare. I built a few, and put axles together for people. The other guys screen name was lakefx, he built the site.

The good ole days. You had a lumina, do you remember that guy that swapped the z34 before any of us, and got busted online for running from the cops?

 

Sorry for the thread jack o p, but that thread won't be too bad, you may have to move a few pins on the wiring harness to have all of your accessories.

Ha.. Yep. Animul. He was the one that I first saw back in the day about the 3800 community. What was your nick on CGP/l67swap? Back in the day Milzy and I did a 3800 swap into a 95 Monte carlo. That sucked bad. Just.. bad.

Good times.. sorta.

Hahaha, brings back old memories. I actually started that site with 2 other guys back in the clubgp days. We were selling premade wiring harnesses for swapping the l67 into other gens. I had a 91 GTP with a 2001 GTP drivetrain.

Site used to be called l67swap.com .

Good luck man, I suggest getting a good schematic for each car and start wiring.

Brian Teel? I believe he (along with you/others) ran that site? i was on there all the time looking for information when I did my l67 swap in my Lumina back in the days.

Not sure if you can just use the PCm from the GTP because the Impala/Monte Carlo has some retarded pass-key/theft thing going on (from what I've heard people tuning Imps or Monte's).

I "think" the trans cooling lines are different from an 01 to 03 but I'm not sure. I know they're different from a 98/99 to a 01-02.

Eh i have to disagree lol. Ive put 3 transmissions in my na 3.8 car lol

User error. :gabe::lolguy:

Do yourselves a huge favor and put a trans cooler in to. The trans might stronger, but it still wont live very long lol

Blah.. depends on how much you beat on it. .

I had never heard of it being done before but I shouldnt be surprised. If you can LSx swap an FD why not swap the impala. Haha. I bet it will be pretty fun. I would own one.

I just put a s/c on a 99 Regal LS with an NA bottom end. It's a pretty popular swap.

Probably not much info because it hasn't been done much. You'll probably be figuring it out as you go. Sounds fun though

Its been done a bunch of times.

Pretty much all w-bodies are the same all the engine/trans parts interchange and bolt up to each other.

You're not looking in the right places.

I would use the trans/motor from the GTP and just drop it in the Impala. If you use the GTP trans you'll need to make your own axles (inners from the Impala and the outers from the GTP (different splines).

You could use the trans from the Impala but you'll need a different flywheel and/or torque converter.

Everything else will drop in. I believe the only other thing you would need is a MAP extension harness that will go from the front of the motor to the back (or make your own).

ya, drywall mudding.... any shmoe can hang drywall... I need someone who's cheap and can mud like a champ with very little sanding

He can do that. He needs money more than being cheap. I'm not sure how big the job is and/or how much money you're looking to spend but you can talk to him and find out.

Is this mark?

 

If so met him a few years ago through truck club. Very nice guy.

That would be him. Thanks Rocky. He's had some bad luck in the past and just needs go keep on truckin' (literally).

My brother was laid off from his job a few months ago. He was a pressman for 35+ or so years. Since printing jobs are hard to come by these days he's turned into a handy man type person. He's always been like this. He can do just about everything from electrical to landscaping.

So, if anyone on here needs any job done. Installing a new faucet, bricklaying, drywall, painting, etc. Please send me a PM and I'll send you my brothers contact information.

Thanks.

Before a mod locks this up asking for vendor fees I already asked Anthony and gave the OK to post it. If it needs to be moved somewhere else then go for it.

Hell, it never was to begin with. It's always been a "fun" site until the majority of us got old and responsible.

I get the "fun" part of why CR was around. I've been around since the beginning.

I'm talking about people asking serious questions about whatever and they get replied with "go fuck a tree" or "go play in traffic" "or suck it up and be a man." type stuff.

Most people regardless of age don't want to see that (well unless you're the one replying).

A LAN line or a landline? I pay $100/mo for wow. I have the step above basic cable with one DVR box and 30mbps internet.

 

None of this helps, but you're getting boned by them somehow. Call and bitch and they'll drop it down.

Annnd i was drinking when i posted but thanks anyways.

So I've been thinking of dropping cable and getting "whatever box" to replace it. My son (who's 14 and autistic) basically watches his shows on his tablet these days. So cable really isn't need much anymore. I was wondering what was out there. Here's what my wife and I currently watch.

Basic cable. 4-6-10-Fox? But can they be recorded without cable? There are several shows we watch on basic TV shows but I'd like to either A: record them or b: watch them live as they air. Some over lap their time slots.

There are also shows on say Discovery/A&E/History/Velocity/Food Network that my wife and I watch. I don't need to watch them live but would like to either record them.

A friend on FB said he installed some HD antenna and a Roku 3 box and it cut his cable by more than 50% while upgrading his interwebs to the full 50 MB down.

Right now I'm slinging $190 a month for a WOW gateway/DVR/router/POS. That's with the gateway and 1 other box for the basement (which I rarely use) and the phone which I talked with the wife and we agreed we really didn't need a LAN line anymore.

What options do I have out there that will fit my needs?
