I'm thinking of building up a Turbo 3.1 (non McLaren) and swapping it into my Lumina, currently equipped with a "VIN T" 3.1.
Now, of all the other swaps I could do the reason I'm thinking of starting with this is because I think it would be the easiest and fastest as far as "car off the road" time. I could basically build up everything on a stand, and since this is my first ever engine swap / rebuild / first time ever cracking open a valve cover, I could take my time. I know the 3.1 and it's wiring best, meaning it would require the least wiring and other modification on the chassis side.
I'm lookin' for any input / reasons to shoot this idea down. I'd probably build up a 4T60 vacuum transmission at the same time. I just don't have the time or resources at the moment to do a complete 5 speed / L67 swap. But, if this goes smoothly, then the amount I'll learn will be very useful should I want to do one in the future.
