Looks to be too far back IMO . . . Mine is mounted in place but I have not done the top bracing yet but will definitely not be able to use the GTP top mounts. I have the kit to make some custom ones. I am getting ideas for where to mount my ICM though and it looks like the AC is plumbed??? Does the AC actually work? I am planning doing that as well and just using custom hoses. If you dig out my build thread I think the hose are linked in there.
Whats up people?
i don't think its too far back cause his ICM isn't up front if it was to far back it would definatly fit as mine fits up there

So I've taken a closer look with my dad and we came to the conclusion that the axle is probably bent, I'm getting it changed within a week or 2 and hopefully it fixes the problem!
what
how do you bend an axel thats IMPOSSIBLE you would snap the CV joints before bending a 1 1/4 peice of heat treated steel

you're right, it didn't bend I was misslead lol sorry for being a noob
Anyway's I had it checked out and its actually hitting because the motor moves to much when I start it and when I go full throttle! So I juste have to figure out a way to stop if from moving back and I should be good to go, My guess is when the problems started I had major wheel hop and there was a big BANG so maybe I snapped a mount or something, I'm going to pick the car up later today and take a look.
Thanks for posting this. Helped me alot getting started with my swap.
I have some questions im using a 2004 grand prix gtp 3800sc and im swapping it into my 2002 ls sport it has a 2.2 eco . The wiring part could i use the w body pcm i heard since my cav is 2000+ my gauges will work with my pcm. And the tranmission could i use the stock tranny in the gtp . Pretty much could i use everything from the gtp or do i have pull certain thing from other cars .

Your reply cough my eye as i search for a fix to an issue i have with a build.
I took a 1999 Buick 3800 SC Rivera donor completely rebuilt everything except the block.
Installed this into a 2000 Chevy Cavalier Z24 Convertible wired in the computer, and this is where i get lost, the builder provided me with pin-out charts and it runs and drives, almost every light on the dash comes on after it reached OT
My builder is a member here First name Matt, He has done several MODs and after some time of running, issues.
So I am reaching out any one else interfaced a Buick computer system with a 2000 Chevy Cavalier ???
Thanks
