Kinda like a Pontiac version of an evil Grand National 😅, with bigger testicles 😮, what does the Corvair/S10 combo weigh if you don't mind me asking? If you know for sure, without the drivetrain I mean 🤔
😂 as an OG who’s walked this path numerous times I smiled knowingly from the first minute to the last as the realization of the amount of work is involved in such an endeavor. Kudos to you for hanging in and the beginner’s luck you had. Good job young man. Also kudos for the clean up in the garage as that’s part of every job
Absolutely LOVE this! Had a '97 GTP factory freak that ran low 13's with just a pully and intake. Currently have a 05' NA GP. I know, was late Mom's car. Only has 50k miles on it. Thinking about a turbo.. but prob gonna make it an L67 ish thing. Great channel. New sub! 😊
These motors are legendary here in Australia, we call the n/a ones ecotecs and the s/c ones are called l67s. These came factory rwd in our Holden commodores and they are Fantastic, bullet proof motors
Well the sweet spot is using the supercharged 3800 engine and adapting on a turbo instead of driving the huge air pump with big parasitic loses, they easily hold 500 horse at lower boost levels and are more efficient. And...well you already have a turbo and most of the controls do not need to change, cause it's already a boosted engine.
One of gm greatest engines. I had a 00 buick ultra. Made me want a regal or century with L67 or a project vehicle. Ended up selling it and bought a maxima. So then i was infatuated with VQ for awhile😂. Now i have a Honda Fit i want to swap in a K24😂
1995 s10 2.2L 5 speed transmission. For now. Until I bump up the power then I will need to find a stronger trans. And no, it will only be 2wd. But a 4wd SC 3800 would be awesome!
Nah. That aint rusted. It's rusted when the trim holes in the rockers can no longer hold the trim on. Then it's good for another couple hundred thousand miles. 😉
I feel like (and it's mostly like if you were to stick the engine into the s-10 body again) the V6 is right for that truck frame. Mostly because the LS builds or the other V8 builds theres no room. Absolutely no room like pretty much needed to do a water pump is hell no room. Like the fan on many have to be on the front of the radiator not the inside. The truck already came with a V6 option buuuuuuut..... Not the bullet proof 3800 supercharged V6....at least that way the front of the engine is accessible for what it is. The strange part is the intake and throttle being where it's at so hmmmmmm........
This engine is based off a 1950s Buick V8 that they ended up in the 60s lobbing two cylinders off of and then killed it for a short time brought it back in the 80s because they had sold the design to jeep bought the design back in the 80s and started producing the 3800 that was in the grand nationalBuick regal which had a small block transmission, Bell, housing bolt pattern and 91 to 95. Still maintain that small block bolt pattern until later down the line they converted the rear wheel drives to having the same bolt pattern as the front wheel drive.
@@pissedoffpistongarage yes I was talking thw bonneville those wheels are worth around $500 and if they had all the center caps the caps alone are worth $250 for the set
I love this. As a gtp owner this engine belongs as a rwd to reach its true potential. Can't wait to see this complete
I agree! They are a great engine!

Isn't this the same v6 that came in the firebird?
Lets be honest.... your right, NOT everything needs a V8. This supercharged V6 in the Corten? Svair? what a neet package.

Thank you! The cleanup is definitely the least favorite part of the all jobs!
I had a 00 Regal, what fun car and surprised a lot of people. Sneaky little car.
Love the build.

I bet that thing is a fun ride 😂 lmao 🤣

Unfortunately we only got the L67 in a fwd set up🤮
wish they did that in america I would love if my lesabre was rwd
The 3800 is one of my favorite engines and the corvair is one of my favorite cars. I love this build
Man, this build was meant for you!
when i heard 3800 and swap, i instantly subscribed.

What year fit? Have 2 gd3's. I'm. In the middle of swapping a turbo k24 in my 5spd one, fully built bottom end so hoping for 600whp

First time viewer.
I had to subscribe just because of the channels name.
It's freaking awesome. I get a kick from it. 😅
Keep up the great work.
Its so much easier to drop the sub frame and take the motor out that way
Love to see anything with a 3800
Love my 3800 97 sc gtp
Love the videos keep it up!
Nice! Hope it goes smooth
Thank you!!
I've not watched yet but I hope you use zzp parts on this motor
Oh I will!!
You're giving me ideas 💡 that can be dangerous
I just want to put a 3800 series II in my S10. They are one of the best motors in the world.
I would trust this engine to the end of time!
Always wanted to make a swap whit that engine just had so many questions
This is gonna be fun to watch
I might have missed it in a previous video but what trans are you going with and will it be 4x4?
1995 s10 2.2L 5 speed transmission. For now. Until I bump up the power then I will need to find a stronger trans. And no, it will only be 2wd. But a 4wd SC 3800 would be awesome!

I’m sure someone has asked by why not just use the 4.3 ?
4.3’s weren’t supercharged lol
@@pissedoffpistongarageright but if you’re doing that much I figured supercharging it wouldn’t be that much.
Could you have rigged the engine hoist to pull up under the bumper to raise the car higher?
Tbh I seen a supercharged 3800 s10 that truck ran like a scalded dog they where keeping up with cars they shouldn’t have
The 3800 is the exact same as an ls1 with 2 cylinders cut out anyways
that is not even remotely true lol

What company did you go through for the harness??
Swap specialities. Watch my second video, I go over the entire thing
Keep the trans for front wheel drive. It could be a great winter vehicle.
You mean make the Corvair front wheel drive?
hey if you are selling the swoopty wheels and center caps I would be interested in them if you want to ship them to NC
Are you talking the Bonneville? Because I took it to the scrap yard yesterday 😐

@@MNPontiac I had all the center caps and brand new tires on the front…
Would you sell the turbo kit
I’ll sell you the entire engine and transmission as well.
Selling the trans? Lol
Not only am I selling the trans I’m selling the engine with all the turbo stuff on it.
