RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I am putting a L67 in a 96 Z24. I built a new subframe about a month ago,and I finally got the lower engine mount and oil filter housing yesterday and decided to drop the motor in. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/cavalierL67006.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/cavalierL67001.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/31a31a84.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/90cfdb3d.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuck my foot in my mouth on this one,so it is CHEAP. I will have to see how the rest goes like the radiator,axles etc.I also made the subframe removable for service,completly bolt in.

Guest FieroGTP Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 HOLY CRAP!!!!! And i thought MY swap was sick.. JEZUZ!! If you need ANY help with wiring etc. let me know... came up with good ways to bypass things i didnt need. Power steering, ac, etc. And totally rerouted the heater core lines. Got pics of everything! You can drive mine if i can drive yours! hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I am working on keeping the a/c,but we'll see how that works. I would like to see some pics. johnnys98ta@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FieroGTP Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Id be happy to email you pics... Is there anything you need in specific? Any problems or hurdles you have? You already did the mounts... I probly could have helped you allot there too. I used mounts from 3800 vans because they located the mount MUCH better. There are also 4 different easy to get ahold of Oil filter locaters that fit ANY need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I already made the mounts and have all the accesories mounted. Thanks for offering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FieroGTP Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Awesome... If you need wiring help let me know, you can go OBDI by using a 95 Regal PCM as i did. Eliminates some sensors too! Or stay OBDII. I have a few names of people that can do the programming youll need too (pass key defeat, 2nd o2 sensor elimination, and such). Its cheap for OBDI (45$) Let me know, im really interested in your swap because its something i could see myself doing in the future!

GonneVille Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 childsupport owns him-ported manifolds for now PEMs with mods that extensive is a bad idea. Even ported, the front manifold just doesn't have the inner diameter to flow those mods, and there's no way to change that. Even the ZZP power-log PEMs are only a stop-gap. They'll pop a piston unless you're VERY careful. Tell them to save their pennies and get the headers, they'll save money in the long run. You should check out http://www.GOClubGP.com. They can help you figure any angles you might miss. BTW, don't forget that you'll need to go down to a 165* T-stat to run those mods as well.
