Awesome site, great job to all the contributors!
I just purchased a beautiful 2004 Comp G with high miles and the motor has an issue. My work schedule has been busy and I have had only a few moments to check it out. I have read a lot about top end swaps so I have gained some info. My thought was to just buy a low mileage engine to replace the original engine and put the top on the replacement engine. I have read here a lot this week. So what Im getting out of these articles is, it doesnt matter what year bottom end I use? I do business with a local junk yard I trust. They have several 3.8 from various year LeSabres and a few from grand prixs. From the listings it appears 04 and up have a different fitment. So does it matter if the engine I buy is a 2000 or 2006? I will buy the lowest mileage available, if it doesnt matter. Im going to do this as a winter project, no hurry to get it done. I will also have the oem transmission rebuilt. Reliability is my goal. The car will never see any track time, just a daily driver. I have done plenty of motor swaps in other cars and have a nice clean warm garage to work this winter.
Thank You,
Tom
