[FloridaMarauder]

hey guys i just got out of my 96 impala and into an 03 marauder it has kook long tubes x-pipe, borlas, j-mod, ngk plugs, k&n, and pretty paint anyways ive been doing alot of research on the eaton swap and would like to know if my marauder with 125k on the clock would handle the eaton not trying to run high boost btw..... any input would be greatly appreciated thanks :D

and about how much $ does it take to pull the swap off?

[guspech750]

Nice going on a well equiped marauder!!

I spent about $3,500 + $450 for my dyno tune for my Eaton swap.

As for milage. As long as the motor was taken care of. You should be just fine on the boost!! :burnout:

Plenty of fellas running around in boosted MM's with well over 100,000 miles.

As long as the engine has been well maintained your good. If it doesn't have a cooling mod do one.

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. As soon as I get the money, I will get one, regardless of the miles.

You will love the difference, and great buy on that car, 5 grand is a steal.

^^^^^ What Tom said. ^^^^^^

The engines are quite robust, as long as you don't go crazy on the timing, and do regular routine maintenance on the engine, it'll last a long time.

To be honest I'd be more worried about the transmission then the engine. A supercharger amplifies the good and bad. If everything is in good working condition then you'll be ok if not you'll find out soon. Good luck.

I ProCharged mine back in '05 with 84K on the clock......240K now on the original motor and still spins 'em all the way through 1st!!:beer::burnout:

Built the trans once at 170K and it is still workin' fine!!:D

Go for it and if it pops rebuild it and go again!!:cool4:

[FloridaMarauder]

ok thanks alot for all the input guys much appreciated one more thing can u guys send me the best link for the eaton swap and also who carries aftermarket parts for our cars bolt ons ?

[Marauder Rick]

i did an eaton swap at 120k.... im at 160 now. The only hardship ive had is a blown overdrive which had more to do with a combination of multiple 23 hr road trips from texas to detroit and a lack of transmission maintainance knowldege.

[FloridaMarauder]

transmission is under control previous owner also took care of that 2200 dollar rebuild and it is still under 9 months of warranty all for 5gs :-) have 6 months to safely blow it up!
