Re: engine and tranny swap, from gp to sunbird
Honestly, were I in your position, I would go looking for the Turbo motors that the sunbirds had in some of them. I used to have one of those and that thing would haul.
As far as things go for your engine and tranny, Im assuming the engine you got and the tranny you got link up correct? If so, then aside from putting it in your car, you should only have to do a few minor things as I don't think it would make too big of a problem if you're putting the same size engine and the same speed tranny + o/d. I'll talk to my old man about it, he's the master technician in the house.

Why don't you just keep the Grand Prix and get rid of the sunbird?

Re: engine and tranny swap, from gp to sunbird
Ok SnYpE, I talked with my dad, and told me that the engine should work no problem, however, the mounting brackets for the transmission may be different since it is a different transmission, and that you may also have problems with the PCM responding to the new transmission. Hope that helps.
