Assembling a FWD 3800 for a RWD Camaro

[@thevortec983]

How did you make the new piston installation look so easy?

[@bluesxt]

:) learned a few tricks from watching Vice Grip Garage

[@thevortec983]

@@bluesxt I knew the technique was familiar

So wait im still a little lost, what's going on here?

@@DonWep I was swapping in a 3800 from a fwd car into my rwd camaro. To convert a fwd 3800 to work with my rwd camaro it requires quite a bit of parts from the rwd 3800.
Basically only thing I was able to use from the fwd 3800 would be the block and everything in it, and the cylinder heads. All accessories, even oil pan and intake need to be from the rwd camaro

​@@bluesxtokay I appreciate that I've been looking into using the supercharged 3800 for my Grand Prix on something, and I know you can switch the T5 transmission into a C4 Corvette. So I was thinking about getting the C4 roller, and trying to Frankenstein the three of them together . But I appreciate you for explaining that

[@DonWep]

Do you think that would be possible?

[@bluesxt]

@@DonWep that might only be for the mustang t5’s fyi due to camaro transmission being clocked at an angle. But anyways, that sounds like a cool project! I’m a sucker for c4’s
