3800 gen 1 to gen 2 swap ?
hi all. i just purchased a 98 park ave. engine blown, i also came across a 91 park with good engine i am parting out. can i use the gen 1 short block?? whats the difference? cam crank sensor ?? open to ideas... thanks to all
|
sorry forgot to mention,, both are NON supercharged 3800
|
Sorry..you can't. Series I and Series II have no interchangeable parts at the level that you need.
|
thanks, after further investigation, i sorta realized that. also i figured there are alot of much smarter wrenches out there (before me) that would have figured this out! i did purchase a nice used 3800 gen 2 this weekend, any advice on the plenum issues??
ok so i guess i have a good Gen 1 3800 for sale now if anyone needs it!! thanks !! |
Plug the coolant ports.
If you are nearby a scrapyard, tear the engine completely down, and turn it in. You will get more if its seperated. Aluminum, steel etc. |
well the gen 1 engine is a good runner . would like to find someone local to use it. the junk gen 2 will meet is maker as you suggested!

On the UIM issue. 1/4" pipe plugs

i dont understand, where are you talking about?? i was looking into a new dorman uim also just as a preventative measure what you think?
