  • 3500 to lg5 top swap questions

    first, can i swap 2006 malibu 3500 intakes onto my lg5? i can pick them up dirt cheap and i need ot know by noon today.

    now for the bigger question, can i swap 3500 heads onto an lg5 and use my lg5 upper and lower intakes? i know it seems like a stupid question, but i'd love to be able to keep my "intercooled turbo"" upper intake. after all, the whole point of my car is to look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

    now, i would be sending the intakes out for a serious p&p or extrude hone job. i know this may still not be an ideal situation, but i'm more concerned with is it possible.

    i'm not looking for immense power. just looking for some simple bolt on power.

    anyhow, the most important question for now is if the upper and lower 3500 intakes will work on my lg5

    The 3500 parts are not compatible with your gen 2 3.1.

        You can't use the heads, and the lower only works with those heads. The upper doesn't fit your stock lower.

        edit. If you bore it .060", then you can use the heads, but I don't think that is worthwhile just to keep a gen 2 block. Better off swapping engines.
