looks awesome good job

Just leave the BBV unplugged. What I did on my SE when I motor swapped. As far as the MAP, just use the one off your L26. Unless of course it's not like the L36/L67 where the plug for the MAP sensors are different.

Are there any parts u didn't need from Morad? I just got an est on the swap for $1000. There are a couple of things I'm going to get aftermarket like the fuel rails.

I think the throttle body was the same, I really can't recall. Oh and if you can, ask for the bolts that hold the coil packs onto the bracket. Mine didn't come with any, so I had to go to a U-Pull it to find a old 3.8 Motor (found it in a buick) lol. The bolts for the N/A bracket don't fit in the New Bracket.

1000?!?!?!

Be better off buying an L32 and selling the block once you're done grabbing everything

Well there is also a local junk yard selling the whole engine for $900 off a 2008, so I'm thinking of talking to them about it.

Yeah, the guys at Morad Parts are great but sometimes there's just better/more affordable ways of doing things.....i see they(Morad Parts) have listed on eBay right now a GenV for over $600....and that's BEFORE shipping charges. Yet every so often I'll see one pop up somewhere online for a lil over $400. So yeah, I think I'll buy elsewhere for now until they get over themselves and offer a GenV at a reasonable price. only thing that really worries me about doing a Top Swap and purchasing the required parts is buying used L32 heads......used heads are normally not a good idea, right?

^if that's the case, I guess I better get porter heads from ZZP

^lol, i dunno about all that, I just know there's a lot of things to consider or worry about when buying used heads; mostly if they're cracked or warped and hard to tell their condition when buying online. And, of all things, screwed up heads are NOT something you wanna put on your vehicle

Another reason to buy a whole motor. Most salvage yards offer a limited waranty with their engines. Plus, there's the benefit of knowing they came out of running cars. The L67 I picked up for my SE runs strong with decent mileage. Can easily just as well swap over the top end to your L26 and then sell someone an L32 block. That or hold onto it for future projects.

nothing is wrong with buying used heads just take them to a machine shop and have them checked for cracks if they are cracked they an be magnafluxed

_________________

sounds simple enough, but if they're too kcuf'd up to repair/magnaflux then you're stuck with two over $100 paperweights. I dunno, it just seems to me that buying used parts over the Inetrnet is enough of a risk by itself, much less used parts(heads in this case) that have to have another $100 or so in machine shop work done to them to guarantee they won't kcuf up your engine...then again, all this coming from someone who really doesn't know shit about heads other then bolt them on or take them off...lol
