Oltmann Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I have been researching the V8 swap for some time now, and I have sort of decided I won't be in a position (economically) to do it the way I want to for a couple years. In the meantime I want to get the Z running and ditch my daily driver. I'm thinking the 200hp 3.8 is a sensible (if I can use that word on this site) choice. Does this engine bolt to the JTR mounts? How much should the complete drivetrain cost from a wreckers? What do you people think, any caveats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oltmann Posted March 14, 2001 Author Share Posted March 14, 2001 I see some of these issues have been discussed before on this forum, I just had to search back a year. Too bad it doesn't mount the same as the sbc. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 You could mount the 4.3 with the JTR mounts, same as sbc, but the balance of the car would suffer, transmission would be forward and driveshaft longer. The sbc can be had in so many different performance and price levels. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to have EFI, because I want a daily driver, and I thought V6 would be an easier way to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
