So are the auto trannies in the cars with FWD GM 3.8's computer controlled? I mean, would I be able to get the motor and harness from one of those cars and hook it up to a manual transmission provided I found a flywheel? It would be awesome to be able to go out and simply pick up one of those cars and be able to drop it in my truck. Those motors are everywhere! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


The GM 3.8 and 3800 series are 90degree v6's, 2.8's are 60 degree. They may bolt up, but definity not drop in. AFAIK no one has tried this yet. I think most of the fwd trannies are computer controlled? I'd look for an fwd engine with a manual tranny, if they even built any?

3.4 v6's are nearly everywhere, bolt in and very close to 3.8 powerwise <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Research it out and go for it if the 3.8 seem doable <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

(edit) NathanC I just read your sig. line and didn't see the connection to a Mitsu 2.6 motor or the Dodge. Sorry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
