92' 3.4 into a a 95' car? possable

[White93z34]

alright a girl i know has a 95 lumina LS, 3.4. its locked up: trash

 

i can get a low mileage 92' 3.4 for prety cheep, and i know it will bolt in, but what i'm woried about is the cam sensor, and the second crank sensor.

 

thoughts?

i think it should all work. i changed no cam sensors or crank sensors on mine, but thats obd1.5 to 2, but that shouldnt make any difference

But he's going the opposite way that you did. You had a 94 and you went to a 96. I had a 93 and went to a 95.

 

Chris will be going from a 95 to a 92. I bet it may throw trouble codes, or not even run correctly. I know it uses that second cam sensor, how much I'm not sure. I'm sure if you talked to Ben, he might be able to just shut those two off, and it would run fine.

gotcha, makes a little more sense now.

[White93z34]

yeah, the second crank sensor and cam sensor are my only fears with doing this

[patgizz]

i doubt it would even run. however, you could swap the front cam carrier w/ the intake cam and swap the timing cover/balancer with the 24x crank sensor and be good to go.

thats what it was thinking earlier tonight, i could in theory swap the entire front cam carrier with the cams over to the 92' engine, and i was kinda thinking that i'd have to swap the timing cover anyhow to accomitate the newer style alternator on the older enggine.
