Cdubb is a newb, he'll never experience the difference a 3.5 can do to a legend.

Yeah, who has use for torque anyway?

 

[Artillery129]

^ I know, it's all about the horsepower, RPMS, redline, Torque, WHP, that dont matter it's all about BHP, and I assure you the Type II has so much more, that it doesnt make sense in any way to switch to the 3.5...

everyone know you need more torque to move our heavy cars, what good is having all that horsepower if you cant get it off the line quick enough

 

[CDUBB1]

its just to much of a headache. I'm gonna stick with the type II.

 

[NYCOWNSU]

I am sure artillery was being sarcastic.

I say if you are swapping motors anyway then do the 3.5, it makes sense to do a real upgrade.

how much does the swap cost?

 

[Russian]

it cost like 3,000, for what? who actually has on that works? (mike diaz i think) who else. If you want a 3.5 buy a RL!

$3000 for a 3.5 swap?

I can find a good 3.5 engine for $200-$500. If you want to change the gaskets, seals, timing belt, etc... thats about $500. A custom mount will cost you about $50-$70 or if you have a welder you can make it your self. Then swap the engines. Thats about $1000-1200. If you dont want to change the gaskets, it would cost about $600 to $800.

You can swap 3 engines for $3000

id say about 2k max wit engine n having it installed

 

[NYCOWNSU]

Damn, where are you guys finding these cheap rl motors?

That junk yard has everything cheap. I just got a type II intake manifold for $20. Engines cost $100 for any car.

A 3.5 is from an RL. You have to use the Legend tranny.

 

[uPnoRthACme]

You sound as ignorant as the Original Poster. SMH

Sorry bentley along with all the other 3.5 cheerleaders. But ignorance is evident amongst you all.

Have you not realized that the fastest legend as of now is Erics 3.2. I know the weather was in his favor, and he wasn't running with full interior but the weight of his car compared to dv8's is pretty close in race form.

Keep in mind, the top end of the type 2 is better than the 3.5 hence the reason dv8's has the same hp output and is running a type2/3.5 hybrid. It will alway's have more torque, we all know that. But, without the type 2 top end, the high rpm hp will not be there and the blend of hp/tq as sr5 stated will not be as uniform.

Not only does Eric have less displacement, but he also has a few mods of lesser quality than dv8's 3.5 hybrid.
Dv8's 3.5/ 233.7 Whp, 229.0 Tq : custom headers, aem ems, injectors, short shifter. I'm not sure of the port/polish quality of both, so I cannot contest that. But I'm sure there are differences, for better or worse, I'm not sure.
Eric's 3.2/ 230.4 Whp, 203.9 Tq: Obx headers, Sr5 chip/aem safc, stock shifter, stock injectors,
