Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
a little tick? that sounds like bottom end bearing took a dump.
take another vid, but rev it to say 2,000 rpm, then just let the throttle go to idle, the sound it makes doing that will be very telling.
just from your vid there0. thats pretty dead sounding tho.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
use the 98 intake, injectors, and what ever sensors dont match plug wise. off the 98 engine and use on the 06. you may need to swap the oil pan or grind some frame or mounts or something to make the al pan work. use all your old exhaust manifolds. not a whole lot really.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
that would be top swapping it, some sensors and injector wires need to be changed. and tuned of course.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
in the long run i think you are better off taking what pig tails you need to swap from the 98 harness. not sure if it will plug into the regal pcm or not.
if it does plug right in and works that would be dandy tho. im sure someone knows for sure out there.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
You wanna know what you need to make an L26 work in your Regal? I might know a little something.
If you swap UIM's plug the LIM coolant ports. Otherwise get an adapater for the TB, Make sure it doesn't have the CA emissions air tube rear exhaust manifold (if so..swap it). Then drop it in and use your fuel rail. Poof, done.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Ok sounds great, i found a few motors im looking at, a few all under 90xxx first is a 06 with 34, one with 90 from another car, and a 05 supercharged Impala motor with 75xxx, so I just need some money and it will be a go with the regal project
im going to go out now and take a video one with and without the belt.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Where's the car located, another state? hahahahaha
I swapped a Lucerne engine into mine. Put on the TB adapter, swapped the rear exhaust manifold and the oil filter adapater (it tucked under motor instead of over subframe). Dropped it in, put the fuel injectors and rail from the old motor.. pooof..
Don't swap harnesses, keep the car's harness. All the rest of the stuff is close enough. Oh..and I used the L26 Evap. Just pulled the wiring out of the loom a little to make it reach.

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Ok so im getting the stage 2 transmission this pay check, I owe a little more on the gpos sellers holding them for me as I pay off, and might get the injectors with the transmission. I need new rocker arm bolts getting them with the gasket and a tb gasket and a good tune and hopefully I will have the gtx up and running, anyone is more then welcome to come help and then I will start the regal build next I have a lot to do and figure out still but going to keep the projects moving:]

Re: started tear down of the 01 motor
Stage 2 trans, what's in stage 2 and who built it? That rusty looking input shaft/stator and that it's up on it's back instead of pan doesn't give me the best of feelings. On it's back won't hurt anything, but why..
