A few months ago I had decided on doing a hybrid swap on my 3.1L. Well I was convinced by someone not to do it because of computer problems, and because I really didn't want to do all the work, but I just had a basically complete (blown up) 3100 offered to me for free that I could use all the topend off of, so I figured if the parts are free...why not?
However, I was told the fuel and timing tables will be really messed up with the new heads & intake in the ECM. Is that all thats gonna be messed up, nothing else? And it should still be ok to drive around it just won't be optimal because it will be running either rich or lean at certain points in the RPM band, right? I just want to make sure that the car will idle and drive well enough for me to drive around everyday before I get a custom tune done on the computer. (it would probably be next spring before I could get a custom tune done)
Also, what kind of power & torque gains do you think I would see over my Gen II intake & heads? They said the engine came out of a Cutlass Supreme, he said he thought it was a '97 but he wasn't sure...so it isn't the new intake and the bigger valves, it can't be if it came out of a cutlass supreme.
The engine doesn't have any accessories on it either, so I would need to get a power steering pump from a junkyard or something for it. About what do you think that would cost?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks,
Shawn
