3.4->3800 Posted By: SlitVirus On: 03-15-2010 @ 00:45:46 Reply | Edit I'm sick of my 3.4, it's caused me endless stress and is utterly obsolete as of several years ago, so I wanna swap in a 3800. Just wonderin if you guys could help give me tips for what is all compatible, and what I need to get in order to complete the swap and have a well-runnin car as a result ...3.4's suck... balls  [ Edited on 05/08/2007 @ 00:47:32 ] Posted By: Rg320camaro On: 05-08-2007 @ 01:43:23 Reply | Top | Edit Not this again  I'm not trying to be an ass, but use the search feature. You'll find endless results of the same question. Not just 3.4s to 3.8s, but 3.4s to LT1, and LS1s, etc. You'll need the same related items for any swap. Its not that we don't want to help you, it just gets VERY tiring explaining things over and over again. So, do the search, then, if you have any other questions you felt like weren't covered, or weren't very clear, then you can ask -- Trent '99 Z28 M6 - just another bolt-on/cammed LS1   SOLD '98 3.8 - lid, K&N, CAI, MF CB, !CAT, cutout, SPEC stg 2, walbro fuel pump, hbh fanswitch, alum.

I thought that was going to be very interesting.

You will probably be better off selling your car and buying one with a 3.8 in it. If you are going to go through the expense of swapping motors you might as well swap in an LT1. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, dumped true duals - Flowmaster 50 series - 16.43@85.29 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix - L36 - bone stock

However alot of people come in here talking about how they are going to do an engine swap...very few actually pull it off. I think less than 5 people in the time that Ive been here on this message board. I thought about it for a while myself but then I just decided to build up my 3800. -- My other siggy!

Posted By: crunkmaro On: 05-10-2007 @ 01:56:32 Reply | Top | Edit think its time to bring back the bruzer thread? -- Posted By: 3pt4_N00b On: 06-04-2007 @ 16:32:37 Reply | Top | Edit This is how I look at it... If you post about an engine swap ... you aren't going to do it. They should just ban you for engine swap threads unless its NEVER been posted before like maybe a 3.4 to 6.0 diesel swap. j/k I swapped a 3.8 in my 3.4 a week ago and the only 3.4 parts I left on the car are the gas tank, fuel lines, and the crossmember (the 3.8 crossmember didn't line up as well) So that should give you an idea of what to swap
Honestly if I didn't have all of the parts for free (courtesy of wrecking my other car) I would definately suggest selling your car and buying a new one.
