LuminaPower92 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Looking at getting a motor for my 94 Cutty Convertible, does anybody have part numbers for the older 3.4 and newer 3.4? Does it matter and will a newer 3.4 Gm Long block work in a older equipped car such as my cutty. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal H Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 The '96-'97 engine has different heads. To start with, and you'd transfer over your intake, plenum??, and exhaust manifolds from your old (1st design) engine on a long block and that won't work on the late LQ1 engine. If you get the parts for the '96+ engine, you could probably make the change over, but I don't know if the front timing cover had different mounting provisions (alt, power steering, A/C) than the earlier designs. I believe the oil pans might be different too, but that may likely be included on the long block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 being a 94' you cannot use a 91-93 engine unless you swap the timing cover and the front cam carrier over. best replacement would be a 94-95 engine a 96-97 engine could work if you swap your intakes over, and use the 96-97 exhaust manifolds and crossover.

Well i ran one part number and it comes up: 10162137 Engine - Camshaft & timing - Carrier Carrier, all models, left - 3.4l 1994 - 1996 Thats on the motor, think it might be ok?
