VX motor swap???

[Chef]

What else has the VX tranny been used in? I wonder if I could find a trashed one just to see if it would mount to the motor. Exhaust mani's would have to be custom built. Or for the absolutely bullet-proof approach, use the N/A 3800 series II (L36), good power, better reliability.

The lightning uses an M112 charger, it can be mounted on an L67 as many have over on clubgp.com, but the torque would destroy the trans.

Also the GM 3800 is an Iron block motor, this will add significant weight to the front end. On the new impala the 3800 is something like 200 lbs heavier than the V8 in the SS model.

The impala ss just has the L67. The GXP is the only w-body to get the V8 as I recall. So our motors are aluminum block and heads?

What about an LS-2 or LS-6? I'd love to see one of them in a VX?

BTW, where's Alan at?!?! What's the status of Randy's LS1 VX?

theres a pretty good write up somewhere on teh forum about our tranny. just do a search....but we can potentially do a manual transmission swap which will probably hold more power and have tod...

I'll just have to go search the gallery again. There's a member on this board thats dropped an L67 in something rear wheel drive and I'm curious as to what it is.

Manual tranny would rock. They've been trying in the Grand Prix community for a while but there's not a FWD manual that will hold up to the torque. Interested to hear about the LS1 swap though.
