Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

[Cya]

wow great job, souds nice!

 

[briggsy]

love it mate

 

[Stretch]

Thanks, guys. Need to get my trans in now.

Pardon my ignorance, but I wanted to know; does this mean it's just the engine in the car right now sans any trans? Or are you refering to a different trans you want to swap in. I'm just curious.
I love the sound like everyone else btw, it does sound quite menacing .

Cool, thanks. You'd never know it from the legions of trailblazers clogging the roads

To be honest, when those suvs floor it it does sound pretty nice sometimes. Especially the SS models. Although I'm sure their exhaust systems hinder the grown a bit.

A 6.0L V8 will do that for ya.

That was Plan B if I didn't go with the I6.

Now you can change your user title to SUV Powered and buy some carbon credits

Here's the AR5, Hummer bell, Colorado slave, and front bearing retainer.

I have a toyota front bearing retainer to work with the 7M clutch, so it's back to the future to put the GM parts back on.

The original Solstice retainer is now in my truck - bolted to a R151- but that's a different story

 

[limequat]

All GM again...except the shifter housing, mount, and reverse light switch.

Bolted in, and an unintential shot of the free supra:

Damn that looks like a tight fit...

Holy cow, lime! That's quite the engine in there! Looks good

Should probably get rid of the vortec intake resinator, and just use a pipe, no?

 

[Tajabaho1]

you sir, are my hero, holy bejesus, I hope all goes well with your swap

are you planning on turbo charging? or using superchargers?

Yep, it's on the list of things to do!

Thats pretty crazy, Same engine in my 03 Trailblazer Lt and it gets my big ass truck moving quite well can't imagine it in a supra. :thumbup: for originality

 

[RedPhoenix]

Can you tell me what year/model of the Colorado the Slave and Bearing retainer came from?

 

[Donnie]

Figured out yet whether or not you'll need to cowl the hood?
