It can be done cheaper though.

[shootermcgavin003]

cheapest ls swap ive seen is about 2k. same for a lt1 really. the lt1 makes about the same power as a high comp sbb and prob gets the same mpg but has alot less tq. a tbi engine makes about the same as low comp sbb still a bit less tq so for the money i still say sbb. which i love buick engines is part of my reasoning but they are some powerful engines.

how far are you willing to drive rick? id go halfway for ya. just cant do the whole trip.

[theholycow]

That's incredibly generous of you but I can't ask you to blow $200 worth of gas selling me a $100 engine, even if we WOULD have some fun with some beers.

[shootermcgavin003]

well i dont drink but still would be down to sell you one. i would have to have a little more than a 100 out of it for the trip but i mean id hook you up. and if you wanted something super fast i got the stuff to finish it out about 350 hp 410 ft lbs. would have to ask more for the performance goodies.

Where is the fucking hold down clamp? How do I get the distributor off?

Never mind I just remembered...gotta find my fucking distributor wrench...

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Goddamn that bolt was tedious to take out. Priming with drill I can't tell if vibration in oil filter is transmitted from drill or is oil moving. Opened cap on valve cover and don't see any oil movement.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Might try removing oil filter and see if it squirts when I run the drill. On this engine, filter is way above oil pan level so it won't drain from filter.

[shootermcgavin003]

Yeah do that if it's not pumping up in rockers.

Gonna do it today.

When I want to put the distributor back on, how the fuck do I get the hold-down bolt back in? It was such a struggle to get out, I don't imagine I'll be able to get it threaded back in at all.

[shootermcgavin003]

the 350 is just a clamp thing with a bolt through it. how is it different on the v6? on the 350 i just start the bolt and clamp loose with my fingers than use a regular wrench to tightnen.

rick you have some action on the buick board too

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

if you can get either one of those engine for a few hundred id jump all over either.

[theholycow]

On my 4.1, it's a similar design but it's deep down in a hole surrounded by all manner of other stuff and there's a sharp thing (the coolant temp switch terminal) almost touching it. I can barely reach it with my fingers and it took me like a half hour to thread it out, turning it a few degrees at a time. I just don't see myself getting it threaded in straight (or at all) without fingers doubled in length and having spherical dexterity like a ball joint at each of the 6 knuckles on those long fingers.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

I feel bad for having posted that and gotten responses and not being ready to jump because I haven't finished diagnosing the 4.1. I gotta fucking get the diagnostics finished so I can declare it dead or cancel my request for engines.

[shootermcgavin003]

if you got one of the 350s for a few hundred be worth it. just pm the guys tell them that you will get back with them if yours is surely dead.

i prob could get it threaded but i have small monkey like hands. i think its easier if your looking at the engine from the front and reach under rather than from the top.

[theholycow]

So lay under the car to get to it? I can't imagine it being possible, but maybe. Sitting on the fan shroud to do it certainly seems difficult.

[stonehenge]

remove shroud, then sit

[shootermcgavin003]

shroud out of the way so you look up under like that.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

like if you can get down and go in from the front like from the fan area. seems like thats how i did it but clip was off car too.

[stonehenge]

I meant remove shroud and sit on moving fan
