[MENTION=750]RICH17[/MENTION] swapped a L26 in his before the body rusted out
Maybe he will give some insight on the idea of this
ooohhhh man.
Your car should have a 60e and not a 65e. You can use a 98-02 droupout but the wiring is pretty useless in a 1.5 Wbody. The best harness is to use a 98-99 3800 monte and lumina and use some of the top swap adaptors for the map sensor.
A top swapped L26 is a good combo. But there is no options for headers as the 1 and 1.5 gen firewalls and completely different than that of the 2nd gens. You can either cut and bang open the firewall or cut up the headers to make them drop down enough to clear the firewall

I thought the 2000-2001's had the 65e? your probably right though. Yea I probably wont go the gen 3 3800 L26, If I can get this L67 for a good price and everything checks out thats the route I will go. Anything need to be moved ect?
As long as I can get this motor or another I am very serious on the harness... What would I need for the PCM? Custom tuned I would assume!
Nope nothing. If you get the HD trans than you will have to make a custom passenger side axle with the inner tulip being from the hd and the outer being stock. Pretty easy just have to get the boots on right so they dont split and spray.
Yes evenrtually you'll want a powertuner or hptuners. The computer that is in my Lumina will let it idle and run just fine but the shift points will all be jacked because of the 3:05 gear ratio in the trans I have. And it's not programmed for boost etc. It does however have stock l67 injectors tuned into it because thats what I had laying around at the time I did the swap.
Oh and also you'll need to redo the fuel lines but is super simple
Should make for aworthy car once completed!
The 65's were coupled to the 3100/3400 in most 2nd gens, but not the Lumina in this case.
No shit, I never knew that!
Might be cheaper to sell it and buy an already modded up Grand Prix or something.
or find lumina LTZ and top swap. ya know. because
but if he can get that motor and trans and it is in working condition he is ahead of the game.
