I'll try and wait for my I5 to die. But I'd it doesn't hurry up

8100/8.1l vortec from a suburban/or c/k3500 truck as a donor vehicle?

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fricken rich yuppy.

Well. I hate to say it but you had better have a money tree if plan ANY motor swap other than a stock one-for-one replacement.
Small block...$5,000
Big block.....$7,000
Cummins 4b....$10,000
Duramax......$15,000
Pratt & Whitney jet engine.....$100,000
GM 6.2 Diesel....$10
Rich yuppie or not, hot-rodders have always lived by a very simple code:
SPEED IS JUST A QUESTION OF MONEY...HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GO?
You got to pay to play.

I have enough money tree for the small block. That's why I'm sticking to it.

Dollar for dollar...the small block Chevy was...is...and always will be, the most bang for the buck. It's small, lightweight, cheap, and makes huge power for its size. Modern electronics makes things more complicated but it can be done...ask Squeaky!

I'd like the Pratt and Whitney option. I wouldn't put it in a hummer though. I'd put it in the bed of something like an s-10. I'd definitely spring the extra dough for the afterburner too. Maybe one day.

 

[4speedfunk]

Leno probably already has one.

Thanks man, I wish I had the cash for a massive swap but I'm a half broke dude.

Truly though it's just going to be a slow buying process to be able to pay for all the parts.

Thats okay. It takes time to do things right. Start collecting parts and when you think you got everything ready...start cuttin! Thats the best advice I give to SAS customers. This will allow you to keep driving your H3, and also limit your down-time once the swap begins.

Of course some guys (Squeaky) get forced into an immediate swap due to holes in the oil pan!
