Hey y'all, couple questions here. I have scoured this entire site and have spent a few days searching the web I can't turn up much on this particular swap.
Ok here is what I am working with..
2008 G6 sedan with the 3.5 the torque converter is going out.
Recently, I had friend give me there totaled 2007 Chevy Impala LT 3.9 STRONG ENGINE AND TRANS. ( Car was hit in the rear passenger )
From what I can tell is that swap seems pretty straight forward. BUT!!! I would prefer to have all my ducks in a row.
So I come to you guys seeking some knowledgeable insight.
Questions?!
1. Are the front cradles interchangable from the Impala to the G6? As this could be a major time saver on the swap.
Looking at both vehicles, the front cradles seem to VERY similar to each other, if not the same. ( Please note this is just from viewing it from the bottom. )
2. If they aren't the same, will the 3.9 engine and trans mount on the cradle of the G6?
3. Will I be able to use the original shift cables from my G6? Or will I have to use the Impalas? As both vehicles are 4 speed.
4. Mounts, hardware, braking and suspension components.. ? The brakes appear larger on the Impala, I am trying to do this as cost effective as possible. How much of the listed above can switch over? ( This would be it the Impala front cradle won't fit )
5. WIRING, AND COMPUTER TRANSFER???? What can I switch over? Better yet
Please note, this is a complete car ( Impala )
I am not looking to make this a racecar, it just seems more cost effective to me doing this swap as the Impala was free, and I love my G6. And if I can do this swap at just the price of new motor and trans mounts I am doing pretty good ( knock on wood )
