Wouldn't you have to run the 3800 wiring harness? Or am I off base?

Way too pricey of a car.

Pricey to do the swap or high initial cost to buy car?
I found a clean Bonne gxp the other day that suposedly has a bad Northsar for a reasonable price, which is why I'm asking.

I would assume so, but this is why I was asking. Was looking to see if anyone had ever done it.
Wanted some details on harness, what pcm? and tuning and such.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

with the Bonnie having the computer inside the car it would probably be easiest to just swap it and re-pin the PCM connector to delete the extra wires that the North Star as and splice in a w-body engine harness

 

[selliott]

Or just put another north star in it teehee

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

nah id still go with a catera

german built rwd caddy thats the smaller cousin to the gto/commodore

then you could go auto or manual

id put the less ugly opel nose cladding on though....

James, the N* car has the pcm in the passenger compartment? All other 00+ Bonnie's had it under the hood in the airbox.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i dunno....most ive ever done is the skirt gaskets/wp/maint ****

never tried to find the pcm on the bonnie gxp....

 

[BillBoost37]

I bet it's in the airbox.. all the others are.

Riv had the pcm inside.

There was a member on here with a 3800 Aurora, I think his name is max. Bill knows him.

That was an intrigue not an aurora

 

[Jomamma]

Yeaaaah, your right.

The aurora has the spaceship tail lights. I get them confused.

 

[BillBoost37]

I usually joke with him by saying "do you know the difference between an Alero and Intrigue?" hahahaha
