I was just thinking this would be a bad ass swap in my 97 lol what a sleeper. Is that possible tho or is the 97 engine bay smaller? I dont think it would be too difficult really if it will fit. Are the motor mounts pretty much the same though?

Guys im finding these drop outs in the 2-3k range damn thats not bad at all! The ls4 that is.

lol I know. Seriously, there's so many parts that you will need from an 06+ Monte or Impala that it would probably just be cheaper to buy an 06+ Monte or Impala SS used. There was a guy who swapped this engine into a fiero, and some of the things besides the engine that he need were, but not limited to; wiring harness (most of it had to be custom made by him), BCM off new car, TAC module, custom exhaust work, relocating a few things like the alternater, etc. Of course some of that was because it was a fiero, but you get the idea. In all honesty it would be so much easier, cheaper, and cost-effective to throw in an L67 with a few bolt ons. You can get a full L67 drivetrain (engine and tranny) for around a grand to 1500, and it will pretty much be ready to swap. Add a few bolt-ons and you are faster than an ls4.

^^^^

what he said. Not saying it cannot be done. However that it hasn't been done. I can speak from experience when saying that being the first one to pull of a swap is no walk in the park and what I did was simple in comparison. From a bolt-in perspective, you would most likely need the cradle of the newer car as well as some customer brackets to make things work. It's also a VERY TIGHT fit for the OE cars' so expect some challenges with fitment and you may need to re-locate some things to make it work.

why not just get one that's been in an accident cheap? here's a few links i found that would work if someone had the time and money since you would probably need the car itself anyways.
'06 Monte SS
'06 Monte SS wreck
'07 Monte SS wreck survivor
'07 Impala SS wreck survivor

I want to see someone do this swap.

provide me the donor car, the motor, do the wiring harness yourself, have a shop at my fingertips for any part that may be needed, and pay me shop rate, and i would be glad to help you out!!!

Seriously tho, i think i remember seeing a 97-? GP on ebay that had the swap with a 5 speed if im not mistaken. Can you say perfect car?
