1998-2002 3800 f body. Differences?

[slowchevy]

So I Found a lead on a clean roller with a bad v6 that's knocking. Consuming oil and coolant. Car has a good transmission. Body and interior seem to be in awesome shape. Owner says no rot anywhere, no rust, blah blah blah.

What are the differences between the fwd and rwd 3800? What all do I need to make my engine work in that car? If it is not too difficult I want to pick it up and swap my motor in. Only differences I've seen is lower / upper intake and coil pack mounting bracket.. obviously engine mounts too. Learn me!

So.. . You're asking what it would take to put a 3800 in a fox body?

That is just about the dumbest thing... Buy a fucking V8 and stop dicking around with this platform.

You complain to have no money yet keep wanting to take on ridiculous projects.

Pick up a high mileage ls1 and stop farting around.

And that year group is not the fox years.

 

[Mook]

Your title is confusing as fuck.

 

[slowchevy]

I meant f body. Wasn't thinking when I made it. I want to know what differences (if any) the 3800 in the fbody has (mounting stuff) vs the 3800 in the fwd. I have a nice engine I can put in it. That way I won't completely lose everything I've invested.

 

[slowchevy]

And imo.. if its simple enough, putting my existing engine which I fixed and works great into another car isn't a bad idea.

Buy a prius. And loose ur log-in for these forums.

Please, do us all a favor.

 

[slowchevy]

Go suck evans dick.

 

[Mook]

It's a terrible idea dude. Total waste of money. Period. Stop asking for advice if you don't want to hear it.

 

[daturbosix]

Go stand infront a mirror and try to take a peek at yours.

How is it a waste of money? My thought process is that I can bolt it in and send mine to the yard. Its just an idea to see what it would take. I don't deserve to have people sit here and bully me for asking questions on something I don't know.

 

[slowchevy]

I wasn't asking for advise either. I was asking what would be required to put one thing into another vehicle.

 

[Mook]

No one is bullying you. Take this piece of advice and then I'm washing my hands of this thread:

STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH 3800s. STOP.

What is jeff doing then?

 

[The Broken Regal]

Take advice from myself from your other thread when you asked about v6 fbodies

PM nmskull about questions regarding modding v6 f-bodies, trying to make them fast and swapping engines and shit.

 

[slowchevy]

Unsure if serious.

 

[Outlaw]

Nmskull's f body surprised me at the track

 

[Outlaw]

Personally though, why fucking bother? There's a handfull of sub 100k mile LS1's for under 7,000

 

[slowchevy]

I figured I would ask the forum that I brag about to everyone else when they need wbody or 3800 advice or are looking for a local group of car guys. Instead, I am greeted with some stupid ass replies and immature bullying. Awesome.
