Long story short a guy near me has an 08 california special motor with 8k miles.wants $1500 with accesories and the injector harness. I know about the logan motorsports kit for 3v swaps. and right now im just looking into this a little, anyone know how hard this would be? or anything about the swapfor that matter? i think it would be prett neat, and they easily do 370+ n/a.

its very easy, their website says everything you need to do (which isnt much to do the swap, the cam gears you'll probably have to have a shop do) and if you need more direction beyond that i dunno wut to tell you. i did have a couple "technical" questions for LM when i was considering the swap but after several emails and no responses i said f*** it. my questions were:

1) do you retain cruise control (i would assume so, but they never clarified and i will NOT have a car without CC)
2) can you use longtube headers or will there be clearance issues with the exhaust adapters.

those were 2 big things i considered with the swap and since they never gave me any clarification, i dropped it and started going the SC route (which i had to sell right after i got everything together cuz of my damn GF) since it was cheaper and gave more ponies than 3v swapping.

you will also have to get a tune, and you should probably get new gears if you have stockers.

i also wondered about that. I know i will need to get a cowl hood, cobra throttle body, bracket, and throttle cable. a guy on modular fords did it and said the headers touch the frame ( we dont have a frame but i get the idea) im sure you could beat it in a tad if need be.

also from what i Understand you dont hjave to cut/splice as many wires as you would for a 4v.

i have 4.10's so i think i should be fine, 3v's only rev to what? mid 6000's?

if i have the moola i will do cams at the same time as the swap.

3v revs same as a 2v. Different headers stick out further than others. What headers did he have?

uhh i think mac lts. i furgure bassani or kooks would fit but thats alot of $

check fastlane's website. they just did one and kept the 2v wiring and pcm.

just sayin .

but thats a good price, if the rest of the swap isn't hard /expensive i say go for it.

cant find it fisher,help me? lol

from whati've read i just have to get the VVT locked out with bolts,some adapter plates for the headers. a cobra throttle body and cable. and the rest is alittle splicing like the 4v stuff

totally agree SVT,but id like to be a little different if possible lol.plus the 3v is 60lbs lighter, which i just recently learned.

MU71L4710N

its not bolts. you can either go cheap and buy some lockout plug thingies (which are NOT to be used with high hp cars), or get 350+$ cam gears. then all the adapter plates and stuff.

and there should be zero cutting and splicing, and no where on logans website does it say that.

and btw i dont think the 3v is actually lighter than the 2v motor. the block itself is 60lbs lighter IIRC but the weight of the 3v heads and everything compensates.

good luck ive always thought about if someone has done it
