rad2customs Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I dropped a cyl. on my 3.1 this morn. I found a new motor and am wondering if any one can tell me if a 3.1 out of a 98 malibu will work? The cutlass is vin #M not sure of the vin on the malibu. And if it will other than the timing cover what else has to be swapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I'm almost positive that all 3.1's are the same engine, they are just set up different to make up for the different engine sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 FWIW: you have a 3100, as does the '98 Malibu, not a 3.1 .....and the 3.1 and the 3100 are not interchangeable..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Let me repharse that as to the "3.1" and everything are set up differently in the engines from the Lumina/Grand Prix to the Malibu/Grand Am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
