Look at this, another option for the 3.4?

Re: Some insight into the 3.4L OHV RWD motor
Hey russel.. Great job on all the research you did. I have been doing a little myself looking for every possible way to make my 3.4 a monster before i came across your forums the other day. I found out that i could use the heads off the 2000 grand am gt and i was gonna fab up an intake but i never looked into using the upper an lower intake from that car(duh).. Thats a great obsevation... the only problem im running into is dash clearance. i'm thinking bout making low profile motor mounts to bring the motor down a little.. What did you do to fit the motor in the engine bay? curious before i start making some custom ****... i found a nice cam for the motor i just have to do some research on the cam and see how it will affect valve lift with the new heads.. i found a stage2 chip and injectors..do you have any other suggestions, ideas or problems i might run into wen i start going through this build??

Re: Some insight into the 3.4L OHV RWD motor
dont need to do anything. assembled with all parts non-modifed (well..sorta). the engine sits 1/8th of an inch under the cowl. clears but just barely. i havent changed the motor mounts or height of the intake at all
what IS required is flattening the top of the plenum from the 3x00 motor.
there is a lot of stuff to modify. i REALLY need to sit down and do a guide lol. just gotta find the time.
im me sometime and we'll talk bout it.

94camaro,
if you would just put heads from a 99 grand am on a 3.4 v6 what would happen and could it be driveable. i would think about doing some of these mods to my car i just dont want to rebuild the motor I would change the intake and put the heads on just the pistens I dont want to realy get into it. what do you think feel free to add any coments.
I seen you put a link for the exhaust but its not working.
after you changed your car did the exhaust get louder deeper or anything?
thanks,
Jim

Re: Some insight into the 3.4L OHV RWD motor
Nice.
I saw a parts list on FTv6 yesterday, so I figured something was in the works.
Anyway, now that I talked this over with a friend the other night (the wife has a 3.4L Lumina van....if it's in pieces, it's not my doing!) and he got excited about this project.
Was there a whole lot of custom rigging involved? I looked that the pics and other than the tight squeeze under the cowl, it didn't seem like a chop job, so if it really is just swap complete top end on, pistons, water neck, and plug sensors back in....that is fair enough.

Re: Some insight into the 3.4L OHV RWD motor
This is awesome, my 3.4 is about due to be rebuilt...currently sitting at 204,000 miles. This will be a great way to get the extra power I want out of it, as well as setting me up for some boost later down the road. Thanks a TON 94Camaro. I can't wait to see the parts list made so I know exactly what I'm after.
