2.2 to 3.9 engine swap/tranny etc
Friday, December 23, 2005 5:08 PM
I am wondering if anyone knows if the new Pontiac G6 GTP 3.9L Supercharged engine would fit in a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. I am not worried about the cost issue, and I am also aware that many components must also be changed in order for the engine to even work. Thanks in advance and I appreciate any tips or ideas.

Im thinking that the 3900 is similar to the old 3800 series, so i would check into that. Im also thinking that the 3x00 series is more compatible, as the tranny is the same on the N-Body, and the new Epsilon platforms to the J Body (4t40e), i have seen a 3800 in a Sunfire, but not sure if it was scrapped before it was done or not, just search 3800 Sunfire..

also, personaly i would go with an LSJ if you are interesting in swapping in newly designed motors.

The 3900 is on the 660 platform

At first glance i thought it was just a changed 3800, similar to the new 3500, but when i looked her up, seemed like a killer motor, VVT, and variable intake too!! Makes the G6 GTP look like a sporty coupe.
