Ok. I'm having a bit trouble understanding this given a few links are broken. I'm still learning a good bit about this particular engine block. I'm used to old cars : p

Can someone elaborate?

That "kit" is basically just the gaskets and such for doing a "half a top swap." Instead of getting new heads, LIM, S/C, fuel rails, S/C tensioner, harmonic balancer, injectors, and other hard parts from the L67 engines, ZZP made this kit plus modified hard parts so you don't have to swap heads, injectors, or run 2 belts (one for accessories one for S/C) and a couple other differences. There are a couple people that have done this, but in my opinion it would just be easier to just do a full top swap the correct way, especially since those parts are a lot easier to come by than ZZP's "modified" parts.

If you're looking into boosting your L26, you'll want the Gen V setup though from a L32 so that setup really don't even apply to you since I don't think ZZP did this kit with a Gen V M90.

Gen V setup. Where would I get this? From ZZP, or...?

ZZP doesn't sell the swap, but that's fine because people can get complete setups for a price ZZP wouldn't be able to sell them for anyhow. As for the exact place where? Not sure. I'm always watching the forums like grandprixforums.net and clubGP for people selling the entire swap. Other than that, you could try calling/emailing Morads Parts Company since they will sell a swap if they get an engine in that has a blown block, or you could even try the local junkyards.

The list of things you'd need for a complete swap is (list is from the Wbody story as posted in a bunch of threads on here):
L67/l32 Heads (Pair)
L32 Fuel Rails
L32 Fuel Injectors
L67/L32 Pullies (2 idlers and one crank)
L32 Supercharger and throttle body (04+ TBs are the same SC/NA)
L32 MAP sensor and MAP sensor bracket
L32 Lower Intake Manifold
L67/ L32 Valve Covers
L32 Coil Bracket
All necessary vacuum line, bolts, and accessories for the job
Head Gaskets (2)
Crank Bolt (stock bolt is torque to yield)
Supercharger Gasket
Throttle Body Gasket
Valve Cover Gaskets
Fuel Injector O-Rings
Performance PCM with proper gear ratio calculated
Head Bolts
Lower Intake Gaskets

This link from GPF.net is also very informative.

A good friend of mine has the SSM90 kit on his Monte along with rockers, headers and a 3.6 pulley. When spraying a small nitrous shot he runs the same track time as mine @ about 110mph. If you don't want to pull the heads, then the SSM90 kit is a good way to go. For the money my buddy wish he would have saved some more money and went turbo.

I may have to keep that in mind for my RWD L67. Not the most cost effective I know, but that engine swap isn't gonna be cheap to start with and I might as well make it as easy as me as possible. I'm gonna have to fab damn near everything else as it is.

Heckz yeah. Thanks for the heads up and info. I'll look into this in the future definitely.

That's pretty nice, especially seeing the Turbo thread you put up ages ago and seeing how fast your car was (And the sound. Gotta love that sound).
