[grandprixlover90]

hi, i have a 1989 pontiac grand prix se with a 3.1 mpfi V6 that i just resently totaled oct 25th, the motor still runs like a champ even with 178 thousand miles. the goal i want to make is trying to pull the motor from my grand prix and putting it in to a 2000 grand am se with a 2.4 4 cylinder the motor in the grand am was run 4 quarts low on oil and the motor blew the body is in excellent condition and would make a great car for the 3.1 mpfi V6 my only problem is that i dont know if i pull both motors.. if the 3.1 mpfi V6 from the grand prix will fit in the 2000 grand am se could anyone give some advice to if the motor will fix or segestions on how to swap the motors.

Welcome to AF.

Its realy not worth the troubles.

New mounts for the motor would have to be fabbed, thats the easy part. Reprograming the PCM/BCM and re-wiring everything under the hood will take some time .

I second the whole not worth it thing, frankenstien cars are never a good thing ... in the end it will be less of a headache to sell/swap the wrecked car to a junkyard that has a good 2.4l motor,then replace the motor with the junk yard motor. Now you have a car with the orig motor size, better gas mileage, but less power. Its a more attractive car to sell later to get the car you really want.
