moneygreen Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 any body do one of these swaps in to a monte/lumina would i need the new brain or could i use my L82 brain and 4T60-E tranny. Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 I think an l67 swap would be more worth your time, and yes you can use your tranny. What year is the car you want to put it in? Quote
moneygreen Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Posted January 17, 2006 a 96 monte, I'm just tryin yo keep things simple, and whats avilable in my area. Quote
Vegeta Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Drop it in, use the 3100 injectors and rail/regulator. Shouldn't have any major issues using the 3100 computer then and you can always go with the DHP tuning setup later on. Quote
1QUICKHATCH Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 for the time and money I would do a 3400 swap. Quote
moneygreen Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Posted January 17, 2006 i just want a 3.4 i think if a want a l67 i'd be better off buying a car witch comes with one Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 i just want a 3.4 i think if a want a l67 i'd be better off buying a car witch comes with one I would want to swap in more than a 25hp gain for the trouble of an engine swap, but that's just IMO, whatever floats your boat. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 for the time and money I would do a 3400 swap. If you read at all, you'd see that's what he wants to do.. Quote

If you read at all, you'd see that's what he wants to do.. if you read the 2nd post you will see that Supreme Cutlass said about a l67swap I was just sayin that the 3400 would be easyer than a l67 Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 The 3400 is a worthwhile swap. Hell you'd be surprised when a Montana smokes your 3.1... Quote
moneygreen Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Posted January 17, 2006 i'm not i speed freak just want a little more speed than what the car came with, but also want the job to go easy as possible, When i want to speed i ride my ZX12 at about 175mph at 2 a.m. lol. now thats fast I had a busa at 198mph once.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 If you do the swap make sure you change the intake and HEAD gaskets while you're at it. Head gaskets seem to be a common problem with the 3400s (see it all the time at the dealership). Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 The 3400 is a worthwhile swap. Hell you'd be surprised when a Montana smokes your 3.1... woah woah woah, who's comparing the 3400 to the 3.1? of COURSE a 3400 compared to a 3.1 will smoke it, but a whole new engine for a stroked block? I just don't see how 25hp is worth an engine swap. If I had the resources, I would trash my 3.1, but this is different. Quote

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 Although I've never swapped an engine, the 3400 seems like a direct swap for the 3100 and almost direct swap for 3.1. If you can get a motor for a couple hundred bucks it's a SOLID 25+HP and TORQUE, with the potential for alot more.. dollar for dollar makes sense to me. Quote

Crazy K Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 only think that I have heard and read on is that you have to fab an adapter to make your EGR work. But other than that it would be a direct swap. (To my knowledge) Quote
manitcor Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 screw the adapter, I found a quarter and a nice bit of JB Weld worked just fine 8) Quote

Crazy K Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 wouldn't it work just fine to swap the heads and intake? s the block exactly the same????? Quote
manitcor Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 http://www.3400swap.com all questions are awnsered there. no swapping the topend isint the same thing, swapping the engine can be done in a day for less than $700 Quote
