i have acces to this engine complete in a 98 aurora. does it need a mount kit or is it like the 3100 or 3400? is a kit available? is it the same kit to mount the 3800? i would be using the fiero standard. does it have the theft key crap in the computer? whats the hp on this engine? thanks guys.

I think this is probably one of the most difficult swaps you'll ever have to go through simply because:

1 - Very few other people have done it.
2 - You will have to fabricate EVERYTHING
3 - It's OBD-2 which makes it almost completely incompatible with any of your existing gauges, etc.

OBD-2 is a real pain in the ass because everything is daisy chained.. for example, if it doesn't find the ABS computer, the car might not start. If it's missing anything, it might not start.

But if you can get it done, it'll be worth it. Just make sure you don't get into it too deep and then get frustrated and end up selling everything on eBay (which I have seen a lot).

Simplest swap in the world is the Camaro 3.4 swap. 200hp is VERY attainable from the Camaro / Firebird 3.4 block.
When mated with a 5-Speed getrag, you can expect mid 14s in the quarter all day. Probably a little quicker.

If you turbo it.. then you can hit into the 13s pretty easy.

it's not an easy or fast swap. it is the same as a cadillac northstar swap. if you choose to do the aurora and later want to install a cadillac northstar it should bolt in. i am doing the aurora swap right now. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/049859.html

you should try a search on pff for the northstar swap since most of these types of swaps are using the 4.6L caddy engine.

as you read through them, you will notice that i am doing it the hard way...
