Swaping V6's

Here's my dilemma. Can you put a 3.8L from a 98 into a 94 3.4L car with a fair amount of easy as compared to that of a V8.

Hoses
Transmission
Lots of headache and broken knuckles...... You get the idea.

If you are SERIOUSLY thining about this type of swap after the list before you, ask yourself why.

I tried and it is not an easy swap. Ended up going to an lt1. DEFINETLY NOT WORTH THE HASSLE!

It would be easier to have a 3.4 that makes 3.8 power.
Cam, porting, headers and exhaust.
You would have to get not only an engine you would need a hole 3.8 car (wrecked and cheap) you would need the same thing if you wanted to put a LT1 in there.
