| Did a search but...
Has anyone installed a series III L67 into their Riviera?
It seems to me there isnt much difference between the series II and III besides the gen V blower and the air intake.
They have to be compatible with our cars.. right?

It has been done but it is far easier to just swap blowers than try to get a new motor in. Problems arise when you realize the wire harnesses are not the same and the small things like injectors, oil sensor etc are different between the L32 and the L67. _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

| The stuff that differentiates the series III (L32/L26) from the series II (L67/L36) isn't really beneficial with the exception of the blower. A 'series III engine swap' would essentially be swapping nearly the same physical engine and running a newer powertrain control system and returnless fuel system, etc. which would be a real pain to integrate with no notable payoff. Just take the goods (blower) off the series III and put it on the series II.

| Ii have had the S3 in my car coming up on two years now it swapped right in no problem just changed the tb and fuel rails plus the alternator had to be shaved a tad bit to fit but its perfect. Nothing changed I just haven't had time to do no mods being that this is my only vehicle n all at the moment | |
