Possible new project?

We've had this thing for a few years and has served us well. But the 3.8 is getting tired and the trans has started slipping.



It's a 1995 Olds Silhouette. The Cadillac of minivans!!

I've put on 16" Cutlass Supreme wheels, KYB shocks and struts and Addco sway bars, have a set of Eibach lowering springs but haven't installed them, looking for a rear disc brake set up from a Pontiac 6000 STE.

So for the engine transplant, I've located - for very cheap - an L67 3800 with trans and everything.



This thing will outhandle Corvettes (I've pissed off a LOT of 'vette owners) and if things go right, it will outrun them as well.

HAHA Jay, why? Vans get romped hard enough as it is...now you want to supercharge one of them?

But it will be a SLEEPER!

No joke...

Do it man. Making weak things strong is the coolest thing ever. I always thought those vans look like space shuttles lol i love those

Looks like a big vacuum cleaner haha

How about puttin a hemi in it

Damn! What the hell were you thinking?

If I went traditional V8, it would be a Pontiac since the damn van is a lot of Pontiac parts.

haha I do like the Chevy big blocks but come on

does anyone still make a push rod V8 besides the hemis? Are the Chevys push rod motors?

dude thats all i could come up with at the time! at least i didn't say put my chevy 350 in my grandfathers 65 stang like my uncle did...

A 350 in a stang? Wow I just threw up

I know there was a 350 TPI powered Fox body Mustang running around here.

terrible

I thought it was funny myself.

When I worked at a Mercedes garage, a guy had us drop a TPI 350 in a 500SL.

Say Robert, do you know of any sites for parts for 1970s Power Wagons?

No, I don't know of any sites. Seems that the following for power wagons is not huge but the fans that are out there are hard core. haha

What do you have on your mind? You can't tease me with power wagon stuff

A guy on another board was asking about finding parts.

All I have is the tach, which if it's still there, it's still yours.

I'd love to have that tach, let me know what you want for it

It's yours. Bezel and all. I pulled it knowing it was rare from a truck we dragged off for free as the property owners asked us to. Truck was pretty loaded up too, cruise, A/C, ect but was rusted out. Wasn't a LRE or Warlock though.

Yeah those tachs are pretty rare and they're pretty cool. None of my trucks have had one

you know what i saw in hot rod magazine once? this asian dude put a 1001 horsepower supercharged Nissan I4 in a '67 Camaro. My brother and I where screaming and yelling at the magazine it was disgusting. the poor thing was all blinged out with rims and underglow and crap.

my bad, it was a Toyota engine. EVEN WORSE. Look at this this is messed up beyond everything.
