Which G6 engine?

3.6? or the 3.5 or 3.9?

shhh don't ask questions that we need to answer peoples questions! :X


that being said, 3.5 or 3.9, do a search... 3.6, youd be the first.

2.4 Ecotec.

Did a 3900 auto swap last year and am finishing up a 3900/F40 now and only real problem is the size of the intake making things a little tight in some spots

I *think* a LX9 3500 with the automatic would be straightforward, no?

The 7730 should have no issues running them together.

They're all pretty straightforward at this point. The 3.6 might be the most difficult, especially if you want a manual. But bmwguru is nearly finished with his 2.8 high feature swap, which is the same engine family.
