thomasjtsi Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 When MyMonte.com comes back up tomorrow (hopefully), check around and search on there. There have been a few members that have done that swap. Although, swaping to the 3400 may be a bit more logical choice. All the wiring and everything bolt up exactly the same as the 3100. Just pull the 3100 and drop in the 3400. If you are interested in doing that, check out http://www.3400swap.com . -thomasjtsi (Justin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruticus Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Does the 3.8 come with the 4t60e tranny or is it different this is the main reason why i wanna get rid of the 3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 go L67 if your even bothering to do a swap :withstupid: and If all you want is an L36 in your Loomie, then ditch it and buy another Loomie that has the L36 (can you say "cop car?") The 3400 would be easiest to swap in, though if you don't want to get rid of your ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EurosportZ34 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Swap a 3.4 DOHC in there, it'd be easier cause it was an option on your car. That's just my .02 cents. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93CutlassSupreme Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 what's your problem with the 4T60E? if you don't abuse it and actually change the fluid, it can be a very reliable trans many members here have over 100K on the original 4T60E i have 91K on mine, and no trouble yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93CutlassSupreme Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 any reason you hate it? getting 130 K out of a trans sounds pretty good to me. some engines don't last that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruticus Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 any reason you hate it? getting 130 K out of a trans sounds pretty good to me. some engines don't last that long I just despise it now after the rebuilt its just not the same anymore and i really want a 3.8 i always liked them better my old man had a 99 GT for a while i loved the way it handles.
