What are the dimensions (H, L, W) of the GM 3.6L LFX engine in the new camaro?
I would like to use the LFX V6 motor with forced induction in a hotrod build I'm starting but need to check whether it will fit, what autotransmission to use and whether it can be run as a turn key motor with the stock ECM. I can't find the physical dimensions of the motor anywhere. The stock 6L45 automatic transmission that is mated to the LFX engine is rated at only around 330 ft/lbs torgue. Can it handle the higher torque output that forced induction (turbo or supercharger to 450hp) will add to the LFX motor? If I wanted to use an alternative automatic transmission, which models will bolt onto the factory housing that can handle 450+HP. For example will the GM 4L65e bolt on? Finally can a universal wiring harness be connected to the factory LFX ECM and engine harness to run the motor outside of the camaro, allowing its use in these types of applications, or does it require connections and programing feedback from the cars other computers to function. For example the Ford Ecoboost engine talks to the airbags, and can't be used in this way until Ford offers a turnkey ECM option.
If you have NOT been reading the papers lately, the 3.6 engien has been declared DEFECTIVE for timing chains that break after the GM warranty is up! This is somehting that GM central knew about YEARS AGO< but did NOTHIGN to repair it! ANOTHER MULTI MILLION DOLLAR lawsuits is already in the works, and GM's philosophies of letting the CONSUMER pay for their mistakes is nearly OVER WITH! Read SATURN SETTLEMNT>com, DEXCOOLSETTLEMENT.com and NORTHSTARSETTLEMENT.com! Soon there wil also bee a 3.6settlement.com! Gm NEVER tests EVERYTHING before they release to the public! This is WHY they are ALWAYS in legal battles! WALK AWAY from the 3.6 engine that was ORIGINALLY designed by RICARDO engineering of England and then BUTCHERED by GM manufacturing processes!
71cm tall 55.5cm wide 53 cm from the back of the valve cover to the front, piping would be an additional 6cm, from the back of the flywheel to the harmonic balancer is 49cm and if using Camaro intake length is 63.5cm convert that to inches

"Boys" get a car of their choice, but they have too take the time and put the dedication in too fix it up. My older sister and I are insane tomboys and she got the opportunity too fix a car, now I'm being offered one. She got a 69 Ford Maverick. I was hoping for a 70 Impala, a 68-72 Mustang, or a 69 Camaro too fix up. I really really love those three classics and would rather have one of the three.
