Vegeta Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 3100 has D shaped exhaust ports that flow better than 3.1. 3100 intake ports are wider and less tall and also flow better than 3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f_399 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 are they inter-changable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBuiltMine-o1oo Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i think if you want to interchange just the intake, you have to portmatch the heads, so you mayaswell change the heads to get tehm to the bigger size all the way through, and the bigger valves, also. Im looking for a 2k or newer montana engine to put in my Olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperRed90TGp Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 The only intake that are interchangable is the late 3100 3400 and 3500 1999 up. You have to use the UIM, LIM and the heads with each family of motors. You can't put a 1999 up on a pre 1999 and visa versa unless you change everything. Here's what I went through to do the swap. http://www.netavalanche.com/tgp/viewtopic.php?t=2604 Jud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
