ok first off hello ! ok just bought a 96 GA SE 3100 for 100 dollars lol with a blown motor it runs but previous owner drove it till it shut off after letting intake gasket leak go for god knows how long took intake off and saw cam was all whooped to hell didnt bother tearing into motor anymore .
so now have been looking for a motor and have a friend who has a 3800 supercharged motor with only 47k miles on it is gonna sell it to me for 500 bucks killer price i know but my question is WILL IT FIT INTO THE GA? anyone know or attempted this before? i dont want to buy the motor if i cant use it

We perform the swap in Atlanta, GA. starting at $3500.00. If you desire to
attempt it yourself, you will need engine, trans, ecu, wiring harness,
cutting torch, vehicle lift, mig-welder, engine dolly, sawz-all, flat and
angle metal stock and tubing. Additionally, you will need to fabricate the
following custom parts: front engine mount, modified right side frame rail,
transmission mount, upper dogbone mounts, heater pipes, exhaust downpipe,
throttle bracket, air intake pipe, wiring harness adapter, etc. You will
need the following new parts: front mount (pusher) cooling fans, 94-98 GA
trans mount, front sway bar, shifter cable and lever, custom burned ecu to
disable theft deterrent, batery relocation kit, etc. You will need to cut a
notch in the right side frame to clear the s/c idle pulley. It is NOT a job
for the DIY'er. Even most experienced technicians would not be able to
complete it without a fabricator close by.

holy shnike! :banghead:
wow aaron thanks for the info and the letdown :rolleyes: lol j/k but seriously thanks for letting me know what all is involved sounds like more then im willing to get myself into lol i am an accomplished mechanic havent found anything i cant fix yet but yes this sounds like something i wouldnt want to try to do at home by myself guess i'll start looking for a 3400 to drop into it then alot less modifications needed hehe but again thanks for the info man! :grinno:

np, i was gunna do it too till i found out the info, so i said screw it im now lookin just to super charge the motor i got

I got an escort thats getting a 5.0 fabricated into it rwd so I have to fabricate the rear end. I think it should take me a year or two with my schedule. Theres a ton of space left over in the engine bay when there fitted right and since Im gonna use the 5.0 from a gran marquise the rear and front should be simpler to fabricate seeing as how the front wheels are almost the same distance apart from the rear wheels on both cars. The other tricky part is cooling it proper enough. I will have to use 2 radiators of the escort size , one in the front like normal and another one in the rear trunk with window intake for the air to pass through (like a ram air radiator instead of fan operated) I may also need to upgrade the water pump to handle all the radiators. Im getting a headache just from thinking about it right now. Its a make or break project.
