does anyone know???
i know this isnt related to hondas in anyway but this will ensure my free paint job on my civic. anyway
the painter i met has a regular v6 pntiac grand prix. some retard did a tune up and caught the engine bay on fire.
he then bought a wrecked grand prix gtp (same year)
how hard will it be to swap over the gtp motor??
i figured it would be like every other import where the motor mounts are in the same place and you can just swap it over with the harness
if someone knows for sure let me know. if not hook it up with someway to find out

Dude,
Pontiac is a GM product, not even close to an Import.
I don't know about the Grand Prix.
But I would bet my pretty penny that the GTP engine and the n/a engine are completely different...
I would also bet my second pretty penny that the GTP engine is not manufactured by GM.... I'm guessing Mitsibishi.... but I'm keeping my Penny on that.

Rep Power: 251 It shouldn't be too hard to do. If the original had a 3.8L then its the same engine. The only thing you will want to check is the mount on the passanger side (front of engine) because of the roots style s/c that mount may be different. I would highly recommend bying the manual for both cars and researching the sh*t out of it.

If you are swapping the same type of engine into it then it should be a pretty straight foward swap.
4jacks> The motor is made by GM. You're thinking of DaimlerChrysler that uses Mitsu engines.

Ok I lost one penny...
I'm still saying, its not a straight swap

Rep Power: 0 Ok, nm. I thought he was gonna put a GTP engine in his friends GTP. But, I misread. It won't be a straight swap as 4jacks said, and will probably involve some custom wiring.

Rep Power: 251 You need the GTP ECU as well as the GTP harness. Axles are the same. Mounts I'm almost sure are the same. Not sure about right side one(pulleyside) The GTP comes with a digital boost guage that you will have an extra wire for unless you go to the junkyard and get the gauge. Should be straight forward.
