For those of you who did the DOHC swap...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I only have 8 days of spring break, so I HAVE to have my car up and running in that much time. How hard is the wiring/what will I need to swap my 3100 to the 3.4 DOHC? I will have a little bit of mechanical help, but other than that I'm pretty much gonna be on my own. What problems did you all run into doing this?? All help is appreciated greatly! I will be joining you DOHC guys soon!!! ! :-)

3: get a donor car

 

i had mine running w/ 3.1 to running w/ 3.4 in 2 days.

Well where I'm getting this from will not be local, so there isnt any way that I will have a car handy to take parts from. I'm just going to drive there, rip everything out that I need and thats it. No going back. Any suggestions as to what I might overlook that I will need??

And what wiring will I have to do? Just the harness from the computer?

take everything you can see out of the engine compartment that has to do with engine, trans, mounting of them, cooling system(all lines both radiator and heater), air conditioning system, wiring(the plug unscrews at the firewall on the pass. side). take the engine harness, computer, and whatever is attached to them(the fuse blocks in the engine compartment)

 

oh ya, take the alternator cooling tube and blower motor and its associated wiring from under the right fender
