An Idea

[Aredtear]

Ok so this isn't a build but I read some guys talking about this on g5club.net and was thinking of doing it myself (after my warrenty runs out)

So the conversation started with a guy thinking of doing an LS swap (most likely saw it from Forza) And some people figured it couldn't happen and what not. Their was then mention of doing a V6 swap and that's what struck my intrest. So that's what I'm seriously thinking of doing and s/c'ing it or t/cing it.

So my only questions are is this possible? and what would I have to do to make it fit and stuff? I'm gonna guess the stock mounts wouldn't do so I'm probably gonna have to look into swapping it with mounts off a G6.

Let me know what yall think. Good Idea? Bad Idea? And if you know if it's been done could anyone let me know how they did it? Thanx Guys

I'm asking this on here cause their are a few people on g5club that just like to shit on people and their ideas

assuming the v6 goes in without a hitch t/cing it would seem easier

But don't alot of the V6 engines come with a setup for super charging? I'm just remembering the old engines in the Grand Prix GTP's 3800 Supercharged.

what i think would be cool was a swap from a g8 gt or a g6 gxp

What's in the GXP? I can't remember for the life of me.

Wow someone does their homework hahaha. Now I'm guessing that they only came in Auto.... so would it be able to bolt up to a standard Trans?
