Just pull the dipstick, if you see sparkles that motor is dead.

I did. Oil is clean surprisingly. Would coolant leaking into engine cause rattle?

Just to make sure I have this right. To run the non supercharged engine, I need headers? What's supposed to be in the tune? I can run the cheap 200 Ebay headers?
03-21-2016
the tune needs to be changed to a gtp file, map sensor and it pig tail need to be swapped on the na car too. you need headers so it can flow better, and yes speed daddy $200 headers are what a lot of us run.
03-21-2016
Scott, you need to read more lol.
It's already a supercharged car, nothing would have to wired in nor the tune changed for that reason.
The tune just needs adjusting because the NA bottem end is the difference.

03-21-2016
nope. turn engine at will with the crank bolt or the flex plate.
03-21-2016
It's locked up. I just tried to turn it. Not one ounce of a budge. In order to unlock I have to release rods from crank?
03-21-2016
I found water in the oil. I checked it after I changed the spark pugs and took for test drive. It was clean. Now I just checked it and it's muddy

I found an n/a engine for 436 at lkq. I'm going to do a top end swap. What's the torque sequence and numbers for the head bolts? And will the engine light be on running an n/a bottom end?
03-21-2016
well at least the one rod to the locked up piston, you maybe able to put a breaker bar on the crank bolt with a pipe and make it move again, its trash but they do break free some times. as long as it didnt get to hot.
03-21-2016
Oh ok. No It Didn't Get Hot. One thing I do on all my cars is watch the gauges like a hawk
03-21-2016
436 that's pretty cheap nice
03-21-2016
to run a na bottom end you need headers and likely need a tune.
thats what im running now. bottom swapped set up, mods in my sig. my car came with a l67. it needs the timing lowered one degree for sure in most set ups.

http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...s-of-3800-Info top swap thread, has the head tq and pattern
03-21-2016
Thanks for those links and for being so helpful. I'm just learning about these engines. Only engine I've ever owned is an ls and ford 302
03-21-2016
if your plan is to re use your heads, make sure you find a blown head gasket, cause a cracked head or blocks the only way the l67 leaks coolant into the oil.
03-21-2016
Ok I will. Hopefully the heads aren't trash. I'll take them to the machine shop and get them cleaned and checked. Now what's this about timing being retarded? You tune these also?
