3400 Impala Engine Mods

just because you live closer to milzy doesn't mean you should buy any of his stuffjunk

if you want the best parts possible, go for the 3500 top end swap. easy, and good gains, especially with port work.

I didnt mean to say i was going to buy his stuff, just wanted to order from WOT, and have milzy install it. Unless i can find some place else.

well he is talking about a place to do installs, not buy parts:P I have no idea what shops are around, what they charge, and the quality of their work. Everyone I know personally would be futher away from you as well, at least that I know can do the work.

In order of cheapest to expensive. This is what I would do depending on how much $$ I had to work with.

Ported manifold set plus 62mm tb would give nice gains. I woudn't recommend a 65mm tb unless you are going with a high hp setup.

For a little more $$ do a stage 2 cam and ported lim/uim w/ 62mm tb. Stock heads flow decently enough for that cam. Or get the street performance heads.

Best option would be a 3500 topend swap and have your 3400 UIM ported to match a 3500 LIM for an easy install. Wot can port you an upper to match a 3500 lower. This way you won't have the ugly 3500 UIM. Wot-tech Stage 3 cam and a 62mm Tb. Maybe a 65mm but i'm not sure you would benefit much from it. With that setup should will lightly modded l67s a run for their money on a N/A 3400 .

FYI wot-tech porting > milzy anyday of the week. Trust me and the many happy other customers. At minimum buy wot products and milzy could install them for you if needed.

Look how clean my engine looks with Wot-tech manifolds. They clean and paint the manifolds if you order from them.
And No ben is not paying me to say all of this.

That engine has wot-tech Street/strip heads, competition manifolds, 65mm tb, 1357 cam, 11:1 pistons.

Hey im from over at NAIOA.com
A few questions for everyone.
Ive heard you guys are the experts in 3400's so i felt the need to post here

Im looking to mod my 3400 alil further. I have:
NAIOA FWI V2
ZZP DP,MagnaFlow Hi-Flow CAT
Intense Poly Mounts
Intense 180*Tstat.
SLP Powerflo SS Catback Exhaust.
Intense-Racing PCM

I was looking at doing the Upper and Lower intakes port and polish and 65mm TB

If possible looking into heads and cam also

Or would it be a better idea (performance wise) to go for the 3500 top swap
I really dont like the look of the 3500 upper but hey...

Also looking for someone close to Louisville KY to possibly do it. I love the products on the store from BEN but i live closer to Milzy. So i might have to take it to him to install it..

Any suggestions.
Thanks
