I swapped (with the help of Erich Dethloff, Steph Martin, Kurt Workman, and Dustin Bainbridge) in a 3400 last weekend. The motor is from a 2,000 mile 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette.
Its been a bit slippery out to get the full effect but there is a HUGE swell of torque at 4k.
We didn't have much time, materials, or equipment...so we had to settle for a few things...
-Reused 3100 injectors, I got new o-rings, but had to use the 110k miles ones doe simplicity. Is there a difference in the size of these?
-Reused 3100 rear exhaust manifold. We where not able to fabricate a new downpipe....so we had to reuse the dinky thing. BTW, 3400 minivan manifolds are the same as the 3400 car manfiolds.
Had to put on new control arms....$320....the old bushings where DONE. Check yours. I'll bet they are too.
