Any of you Auto guys interested in my 3.5 FD? If so I think we could work something out. I just need your 3.3 FD. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're interested.

 

If I can get the 3.5 swapped in cheap I'd be game

Dave or Juan if your lurking... PM with $$$$

 

Well thats where my car is, so they'll be doing the work on mine. I can get the pricing from Dave tonight if they don't reply before then.

 

Not on the ST! SLLLOOOWWWWNNEESSSS

 

Don't hold your breath too long for the slowness Alberto. You may just wanna take this ST for a spin when it's all done.

 

Its a pretty easy and quick swap. Im sure you'll find someone that will trade with you bro! Can't wait to see that monster get done! Its going to be the SICKNESS!

 

I know your maxing that APS man, but it will be on the verge of what I feel is the minimal power to put the 3.3FD to use. Id drive the car first then decide.

 

What do you feel is the minimal power? HP and torque wise?

 

At least 500whp 480+ft/lbs

Ive driven a 3.3FD on under 500whp and it was not "ideal"

 

Let me know the price bro!!

 

Will do. Ill get the exact number tonight. I have to stop by there anyways.

 

3.5 into the auto should be a little stronger out of the hole for NA is that correct or am I total newbsauce? I can't find jack about final drive swaps using the search, except for Alberto's write up from a few months back.

 

You are correct.

 

This will give you a good idea on MPH for each gear

If you shift like lighting, the 3.5 arent too bad. If you arent a power super speed shifter, than I would go for the longer gears. I would swap you out, but I will need my 3.5's for the day I finally make the plung. If Auto, thats another story. I say run it first, then decide. Being in the car tells the story best.

my .02

Good luck,

plus one for a cool cat!

 

Man everyone inthe mid-a section seem like theyre all boosted. Im so stuck on weather I should stay n/a or just boost the car.

OT: Alberto I just bought a 96 grand cheerokee. My mechanic is gonna test out the drivetrain tommorow and ill give you a holla.

 

Thanks for keeping me in mind, but my friend ended up rebuilding the tranny-just took him to pick it up today actually. Thanks anyway man

 

Well rebuild is the way to go! I rebuild a lot of our transmissions too. At least I know they wont come back.

 

Not spilling the beans, but it just wont work with the 3.5. Ill swap with you if worse comes to worse and just tune down. No worries, you'll need it more than I will anyway.

 

No need for that. But thanks for the offer. I wil get one somehow, I was just trying to offer mine up to any of the local AUTO guys for basically just the cost of their install.

Which is $158 plus a can or two of Motul fluids which are either $6 eac for the "regular" or $12 each for the "premium". Sorry for the broad regular vs. premium but I cant remeber what Dave said they were exactly. I was in a little rush when I stopped by Function:Tuned yesterday.

Im not is a super rush as we're still waiting on some parts, so its first come first serve and right now Droppedittwice has dibs b/c he was interested first.

Oh and thanks to those who were answering questions about the gearing. It's greatly appreciated.
