94vertluvr Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Hello, I'm curious if any of you have ever swapped a 3.4 DOHC for a different engine. I have a Cutlass that I may be doing some kind of swap for. If you have what engine did you go with? Why? What were the fitting issues? What about the tranny issues? I thought I was going to have a low mileage 3.4 DOHC engine to put in my convertible but the engine turned out to be a 3100 and I think my mechanic may be having trouble finding a descent 3.4. Any thoughts or help please? Thanks! Quote

Any thoughts or help please? Thanks! the most common engine swap is the L67 (supercharged 3800 series II) ....I certainly wouldn't let him go with the 3100 under ANY circumstances....the easiest thing to do is to keep looking for a good 3.4, they are out there and shouldn't be too hard to find Quote
94vertluvr Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah i don't want a 3100 in it; if anything I'd like something with a little more juice. I'm sure the 3800 supercharged has plenty. Are these good and reliable? I guess I'd have to replace the tranny too? What about the computer or does it have one?

mfewtrail Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Check out http://www.car-part.com and see if you can find a 3.4 DOHC nearby. Like Jeremy said above, throwing another 3.4 in there is the easiest thing to do(also cheapest). Quote

95 vert Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 http://www.montecarloforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14610 This covers the the swap fairly well if you're doing a L67 Quote
