GTO 3.5litre kit???????

I read a web page the other day explaining how there is a 3.5litre engine that can be taken out of a shogun or something that will mate up with the GTO head directly

Anyone got any info on this?? pro's con's etc

I have to do an engine rebuild asap but if this is possible I'll take this route instead :rofl:

its out of a Mitsubishi Montero, a 6G74 motor. However, while the shortblock may bolt up to the heads and the transmission, there will still be other modifications to make it work. I'm not sure of all the details but i know its not just a direct drop in and your done thing. Do a search on 3SI for a montero motor swap. Not many people have done it, seems as if its really not worth the hassle.

Yeah there is the 3.5L swap, but it requires quite a bit of work, fabrication, etc. Ray is also making 3.7L stroker kits...although there have been many setbacks.

Cool, so something to do at the "end" of the season then!!! not the begining!!

At what horse power do you need to fit a metal head gaskets?

You mean stock head gaskets?

Let me re-phrase!!

Can you get thick MHG's for the GTO??? and at what point is it advisable to fit them??

The only aftermarket headgaskets that I know of are for oversized pistons. The stock head gaskets are fine for everything else.

i was going to ask the same thing. the other day i got behind a maroon 3000gt here in warner robins ga but it said 3500gt so i assume this guy did the swap?
