Welcome to the page that outlines my engine swap. This will show how my 6000 went from "Get burned" to "Burn you". This is a depiction of my 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine swap to a 3400 supercharged V6. This engine is going to be coupled with a 4T60E-HD transmission. I am going to the local race track to get times after it gets done for wide open throttle basically stock (Except for a more superior fuel pump). After a few laps, I'll take her home and hyper mod the motor w/ probably an under drive pulley on the supercharger, Hi-flow air intake, and larger wheels/tires so I don't rip the tires to shreds! Also, a high performance exhaust coupled with Grand Prix tips. This car is going to kick tons of ass when it's completed. It might even kick YOUR ass! Any way, enjoy the pictures of the 2.5 removal.
Ahhh... the good old days of a running motor.. As
slow and loud as it was, the 2.5 was STRONG! nothing from the influence of man could stop
this motor.. I had been wanting a motor change, but was waiting for catastrophic engine
failure.. Man I was waiting a long time...
Two different angles of the first
day of the swap. All that had to be done next was the removal of the wiring.. That would
wait until the next day.. Also, you can see the new grille in action.. It looks SWEET! I
put a new "Pontiac" name plate on from a Pontiac Transport hood, along
with an arrow head emblem from a 93 Sunbird rear deck.. Looks sharp!
They don't call it the Iron Duke Monster for
nothing.. This thing is heavy!! So heavy, My dad and I both needed to guide it out of the
car.. But, It's out now.. And the engine bay is mighty empty... But it will be filled with
POWER!!! 3.4 Supercharged liters to be exact!
I kept this image large for
easy viewing. As you can see, these are the 2.5's timing gears.. After 260,xxx miles of
faithful service, the "fiber" gear snapped a few teeth and lobotomized my entire
engine.. This is why the motor needed to be removed.. This gear is PRESSED onto the
camshaft, not BOLTED on.. In order to do the job right and not mess up the whole
operation, it needed to come out.. And out it came!
Well, that's it.. Check back for updates!
