19Cutlass94 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Posted November 17, 2007 I duno... I just enjoy working on it while the time lasts. But getting back in topic lol..... this engine should run pretty good. I might take it down the track once or twice im hopes of getting a good time and not blowing the tranny and I need to get a dyno sheet on it too as Ive got several requests to see what it puts down... But depending on weather, Im hoping to get it in by Feb. Last time I put an engine in, I was helping John and it was like 20* out and snowing... I deff dont wanna do that again Quote
AWeb80 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Wow, This 3400 Should Scream Up Top Quote
Euro Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Which is where they normally fall flat on their faces! Quote
AWeb80 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Actually, The 3400 Is Stronger Up Top Than The 3100 Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 Well find out this spring! Quote
Brian P Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 Which is where they normally fall flat on their faces! 3400's fall on there faces somewhere past where the transmissions shift (stock). Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Posted November 25, 2007 Well the powerband on the cam is 2000-6000 RPM. So it should do pretty good on the stock tranny and shift points.... that is if I dont blow the tranny up Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Posted December 1, 2007 I got the manifolds on, the x-over on, and the heat shields all painted up. I went to look at powdercoating on friday, and they were pretty much done... just need to be cleared, which I believe they were on friday. So *hopefully* this week Ill be picking them up and posting pics of the finished engine. But for now, heres where Im at: Quote
GP1138 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 I love it! The springs are yellow, +5whp each!!~ Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Posted December 12, 2007 Update: I got my powdercoating!!!!!!!!1111oneoneoene well everything except for the plenum cause they had to fix it still and clear it. But now I can get this motor put together! Quote
BIGBULS Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Might I suggest (a day late and a dollar short maybe) to do an OBDII swap while you are at it so that you can get a decent tune to go with your engine swap and mods. Beacause even basic stuff like the stock shiftpoints are crap for even a bone stock 3100................and you'll end up shortshifting the shit out of a cammed 3400 doing it that way. Not to mention potential power gains etc. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 That will have to come later on down the road. Especially since DHP discontinued their tuner. I can get this engine running very well with what I have to work with But I want to learn more about the OBDII swap and about tuning before I dive in the deep end. Quote

A little more $$ but they're still in business, never had any issues getting it to work with a car (costs credits, not "wide open" [use that term loosely, many cars aren't available unless you request a compatible file]like DHP) and it does work with a '97 PCM.

I agree that HP Tuners is the way to go...............nothing WRONG with DHP, but HP Tuners just seems to have more capability. Plus it's still sold brand new As for OBDII stuff.........here's a short thread with a little info for you (this is L Body specific, but some info WILL be useful): http://www.bstuff.com/index.php?showtopic=47614 Also search around on Bstuff.........they have had at least 2-3 OBDII swap threads, a couple of which got quite long.

19Cutlass94 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Ill look into all that stuff! I know I can get a premade harness, but Id still have to wire up the OBDII port. So thats money right there, then the HP tuner is money, and I wanna get a new tranny as well. I just dont have the money for all of this! But well see how she runs and if she forces me to swap earlier than planned. Although I dont predict any problems. Quote
Brian P Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 You gotta add in two wires to install an OBD2 port. One is the second data wire, the other is switched ignition (or something simple like that) that you can grab from under the column. I have a few people asking me for information on the swap I did, I really should get on that. Quote
RangeStang Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I would be one of those people! BTW Brian do you know anything about nitrous? Contemplating spraying the GP but if you were running lean with just a cam I don't know. You seem like you have dabbled in all sorts of stuff. PM me if you like. Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Wow that is hot! wow, i want... Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Posted December 15, 2007 Hopefully this week Ill get some better pictures up for you guys! Quote
