ManicMechanic Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 http://tulsa.craigslist.org/cto/995335511.html I will give $50 to anyone that can prove if this is a 3.4 car...(hey, $50 is getting to be a chunck of cheese to some)...By proof, I mean VIN...Prove to us that it's a 1997 WN52X or WL52X car.

AL Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Jay, no where in that ad does it say its an LTZ... Luminas could still get the 3.4 couldnt they? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Well, we are trying to find if ANY 1997 Lumina got the 3.4...Many have said yes, I've seen them, I'fe gotten parts off them, whatever but have offered nothing in the way of proof. Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Jay, no where in that ad does it say its an LTZ... Luminas could still get the 3.4 couldnt they? Lumina LS's got a 3.4 Quote
Cully77 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 wtf is with everyone's avatar being pictures of Breakdown (Vern right?) Has this question ever been asked on mymonte? Quote
89SupremeCutty Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 for shits n' giggles i looked on autozone.com and under engine selection for a '97 lumina they do have a 3.4 as an optioned engine. and on advanceauto, they list the '97 ls as having just a 3.1 and an ltz having a 3.4. here's the link for it. not sure if it works. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/VehicleSelection.aspx?DestinationPage=%2fDefault.aspx&Year=1997&make=CHEVROLET&Model=LUMINA Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I'm reading online that the '97 LTZ did come standard with a 3.4 DOHC. But also in the same articles there are gross errors to go with this information as well, so I can't take what's said as gospel. Quote

88red4cyl Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 I would think that in the 2 months this debate has been going on, someone would be able to come up with at least 1 picture of a LTZ with the LQ1... That is a pretty strong indicator to me that it, in fact, does not exist... Quote
AL Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 I havent really been making any attempts to find a picture. Quote
88red4cyl Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 I havent really been making any attempts to find a picture. Even if you were, I highly doubt you could find one... Someone may run across a pic of a LQ1 Lumi in which someone changed the front/rear fascia, but I don't think it will be an authentic LTZ... And as far as the auto zone website goes, it does not list a percentage of cars that have the LQ1 for 97... For all the other years, at least the ones I checked, it had the percentage for each motor the cars got... Quote
89SupremeCutty Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 wasn't TehWinGP supposed to get a pic of a vin for us? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 wasn't TehWinGP supposed to get a pic of a vin for us? It was a 99. Quote
ChurBoywithALLthemGRANDS Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 FYI, the 97's may have the optional 3.4 DOHC motor in them. If you are unfamiliar with them, you may want to familiarize yourself with that engine. Personally, they don't bother me I like them, but others will differ on that. every '97 LTZ that I have ever seen has always had the 3100. I read that the LQ1 was available but I won't believe it until I actually see one. I've only ever seen 1... and it was brand new when my parent's were looking for my 97 to replace their 93 (so this was summer of 97). It was torch red and on the show room floor at Bob Johnson Chevy in Rochester, and my dad wanted it, until he opened the hood and said "I'm not dealing with that engine" and the salesman insisted he drove it and buy it, so my dad got mad and left. Aside from that, I've never seen a 97 LTZ with an LQ1. I was 11 at the time, so I never thought I'd be addicted to these cars so I never thought about it again...until now. Wow- they really must be RARE. I had no idea they were that uncommon... I'm pretty sure I've seen a '97 LTZ with the LQ1 myself, but I'm not positive. Why's your dad not dealing with the old LQ1 engine, bro? Quote

I still stand by my statement that if they existed, there would be one picture of one on the internet (on which you can find pictures of anything)... Quote
Euro Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 x2!! I want to say that I've seen a picture of one somewhere while browsing through autotrader a few years back, but I can't say for sure. Quote
