Can I put a 04+ gxp motor/trans in a 97-02 grand prix? Cuz I wanna get a cheap gt/gtp coupe and swap a gxp motor/trans in it.
 


its a waste of money. the aftermarket isnt there and you can make just as much power with the l67/l32.
 
Sure you can do it. It will require some modification for engine mounts and I'm sure some other things. Also to let you know that there is not much support for the LS4.
 


I just like the sound of then v8 but down the road I would throw a turbo n be done with it im not lookin to race it, jus to have it.
 


I was also wondering if a LS1 would mount up with a LS4 trans?, cuz if so I would try that set up if it would work
 
LS4 swap shouldn't be that hard on a 97-03.... You could probably used off the shelf parts such as mounts and CV joints to make it work. Bolting it in is the easy part, hard part would be the wiring itself. I think to do an L67 swap in a Pre-Gen there is a 100 wires you need to splice from the firewall to the engine harness.

If you're gonna do it, get a complete drop out from a GXP, subframe, motor tranny, CV joints, complete harness, etc etc.

Its been done already.

It was done before the gxp was released by at least 1 if not 2 members I recall (clubgp.com). Their was also a guy that ran a northstar v8 setup as well with the 4t65e. Then their was a guy that ran a northstar v8 with a manual trans
