Do you think it would be much different than doing this to a 94 Grand Am? My girlfriend is buying one for $2000 and I have been seriously thinking about this! I know some of them come with a 3.4L and isn't the 3.8L just a stroked version of the 3.4L? Me and her both want to do this really bad especially since the Bonneville SEEi we were also looking at already got bought. I think that would be a pretty decent sleeper! He He He....240HP Grand Am.....sweet!

Found this link to bunches of car movies off of his webpage! Car vids

I'd think with that power-to-weight ratio he'd be able to pull better than a 14s quarter...sounds like a nice tech job, but lacking in expected performance.

If speed was his main objective, wouldn't there be better ways than dropping in that engine? Granted, there's no substitute for more cubes under the hood, but in this case I'd have to wonder about the execution of it all...

Probably a tad quicker than a S/C SVT

No.

The early 90's Grand Am (and Buick Skylark, Olds Calais, etc) carried a 3.3 Litre V6 (the '3300')--introduced in 1989--which was an offshoot of the 231 ci (3.8 Litre), 90-degree '3800' V6...itself traceable back to the old 215ci Buick V8 of the early 60's.

The 3100 and 3400 later used in the Grand Am (both 3.1 Litre and 3.4 Litre, repectively, and widely used across the GM product line) are traced back to the 60-degree 2.8 Litre V6 introduced around 1980 in the 'X' cars (Citation, Skylark, Phoenix, & Omega).

Am I the only person that can't see this?!?>! WTF!?

Which CODEC is this in? DiVX?

i still think this thing is quite fishy, the 3800 S/C is HUGE!! now seriously where does the transmission come from? The stock 5speed will just tear to pieces and the only 4speed in the buicks and pontiacs won't fit either, they too are too big to fit. Unless he shaved the inside of his engine bay and did alot of custom work to his cavalier then maybe, and in the video he still takes 8 secs to do 100km.

That's Canadian. Only like $400 US funds... :p Also half was labor. Ouch!!!

In order to get the same power from the 4-cylinder it would need a rebuild with forged parts. Cost would be close.

He can put simple mods on the large 3.8 and make a good chunk more power reliably... (ala-GTP folks)

BTW - the only major advantage to rear disc over rear drum is a little weight savings. Also J-bodies NEVER came with rear disc's stock so the retro kits are pricey!

...and SVTGUY "Get over it!" :p
It's real and like I said it's not even that new... I read about last year on the J-body site...
Atleast go to his site and look for yourself!
