Dude first off quit using that big of a damn font!!

Any engine swap is very possible just depends on how deep your pockets are, also I can tell you that no one here has done that specific swap before. And I have never seen nor heard of this swap before.

*EDIT* I just thought to myself....there isnt even such thing as a Pontiac Daytona. Theres a Chrysler/Dodge Daytona. the only 3800 series SC engine from pontiac is in the Grand Prix SC. So NO it is not possible to do a Pontiac Daytona engine swap.

Not to mention the Dodge/Chrysler Daytona was only offered till '93 and it never had a SC engine, it did have a turbo version though that came out in 1990.

Yes a 3800 SC can be put into a Cavy, and yes it has been done before. I have heard of 2 different people that have done it. Also, yes a V8 has been put in a cavy as well. It was on ebay a while ago. Search the forum and you'll find plenty of post on both.

*Edit* Damnit Cody beat me to the punch :(

I assumed that's what he meant. There is no pontiac daytona...just a dodge daytona and I dont think those engines were sc'ed. I figured he was talking about the 3800 out of the grand prix

unless your cavy has 2 exhaust manifolds you wont be twin turboing any thing.

Actually it's LANCE for the win, I got like 4-5 pics of that yellow cavalier with that humungo engine saved on my computer. :lol:

As for the Grand Prix Daytona, I knew about that car already this guy I know has the exact same one as that grey one you posted only limo tint on all windows. And anyway that is the exact same engine as in the GTP so you dont need to swap an exact daytona engine you can get that engine in a couple different cars.

Oh and that the CRX is old knews :shakehead

10-06-2006, 10:26 PM

whoops

edit: upon further review, are you talking about the pic CRJ posted?? i dont think this is the same one, look at the valve covers...

my99cavy
10-06-2006, 10:33 PM
Yeah I was talking about the cody posted, so there were more than one of those yellow cavys built?? then by all means throw some pics up bro. I found that old thread that lance made a long time ago but all the pics were deleted off it...

*EDIT* Are you sure they are different? it looks as though they both have the same rims on, maybe parts on the engine were just changed??

EDIT #2 after further review those are definatley the same cavys, look at the tint, rims, right were the hoods meets the front bumper there are 3 line type things on both. and notice that the engine block on both of those is the same yellow. They just put different hoods, valve covers and they add that blower intake to the one with the cutout hood.

HAHA yeah you cant accuse me of not doing my research (caught that before you edited it lol) and yes I have plenty of free time since im not doing anything tonight :(

*EDIT* To clear up what I was trying to say in that other post is my guess they had it setup for 2 different ways...

1st having it so they can drive with only a cowl hood and the engine now exposed. (hence the smaller valve covers, cowl hood)

2nd having it to drive with engine exposed hence the cutout hood, larger valve covers, and blower intake.

sorry im really bored so I felt like explaining myself :lol:

lol, well nice work!

yeah i dont know why i do that, i post, then read it, and instantly change my mind, i do it probably 80 percent of the time

The valve covers do look different but the rims look the same.

The valve covers do look different but the rims look the same.I dont feel like retyping everything so just look through all the posts and it will explain about the 2 cars, they are the same car just different parts for different reasons.
