he built a frame in the rear of the car and DIDN’T do a RWD swap? Now that is a huge :picard: He could have easily put a rear diff in and modded the rear suspension to take an axle. Fuckin aye, that is retarded.
For the amount of time he put into the motor and rear end, he could have built a SICK RWD setup. He’s already done 90% of the hardwork!
I used to be a member of that community. If I remember right that guy has had 2 or 3 different nonecotek engines in cavaliers.
I disagree. Yours might but Northstar as a whole doesnt. I have never had any problems with mine. If it was so horrible, why would they continue to use it 15 years later? Countless amount of people have gotten well over 150k miles out of them with no problems.
These motors are real popular with folks swapping them into Fiero’s
Ignoring the king of gm hate. The guy should of did a ls4 out of the grand prix gxp and impala ss.
it looks like its broken down and cannot move
Wow,…
it would be cool if the cavalier didnt look like an enormous fail.
Ugly body kit, huge/ugly rims.
I wish It was clean, lowered, on like sporty 17s.
Might be kinda of cool
I have a passionate hate for northstars. I want to fight the engine.
i think the focus with the v8 conversion was much cooler: No homo bodykit, no rediculous wheels, no FWD, no crappy northstar v8
Isn’t the water pump part of the timing cover or something fucked like that?
why
that would be the 2v 4.6 ford modular
No way,the 4.6 is no LS1 but its a reliable workhorse.I’d choose a modular over a northstar any day of the week.Plenty of them still running with 250k-400k+ regularly sell on eBay.
:bloated: 4.6 is a decent motor. It is reliable. It is just too damn big.
Blocks hold over 1000hp.
but at 300 you have to worry about your spark plugs rocketing through your hood.
ZING!
I kid i kid :mamoru: my pops has a 4.6 F150 nice truck, strong motor
It is just a clusterfuck. Intake plentum to do a starter. Alternators are like three hour jobs. They leak, they run like shit, and they are big money to maintain.
bingo! not a performance application. I am talking purely from a performance standpoint. They are great for reliability, just look at police cars. But, pretty sad when you can BARELY crack 250 rwhp with every bolt on and exhaust on an American V8 from 2004.
that swap wouldnt be so bad in a stock Z24 or something like that. they ricevalier is pretty gay though. a stock car wiht that motor would make a fun sleeper. the northstar isnt that heavy either.
there was a guy at NYI the one day that had a calais with a stock (at least it looked stock) 3800SC running 13 flat. a stock 2dr cavalier with a northstar should do 12’s pretty easily.
no it wouldnt. it would run 14.5 @ 115mph

watch you mouth little man… i just bought a deville with a northstar. i love it
