Grand am oldsmoblie alero malibu chevy venture montana older monte carlo.I think there might be a few more.

[91GTZ6Beretta]

like the 94+ monte/luminas ? this will give me a head start atleast.

No, those would be the 3.4DOHC. 3400 wasn't introduced until 96 in the vans. Didn't come in cars until 99/00.

[91GTZ6Beretta]

oh. ok so i need a van

most of the malibus ive found were the Eco motor and some of the Grand ams w/ quad 4's and ecos. werent there a few of GA's that were S/Ced ?

thanks for the list. i plan to buy a salage/wreck from Copart with low miles

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Only the W-bodies got the L67/L32, and that's a 90*V6.

[91GTZ6Beretta]

oh thats the 3800 isnt it ? thats a no go for this car

[[ChaosweaveR]]

oh thats the 3800 isnt it ? thats a no go for this car

Yup. No need for that outdated boatanchor in the Beretta.

[91GTZ6Beretta]

i know some of them with the sced ones have like 400hp. but from what i heard from beretta owners that did the swao its something they wont ever do again.

so im gonna get a wrecked car with the 3400, then a possible rear mount turbo

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Why a rear mount? There's plenty of space under the hood, just relocate the battery.

[91GTZ6Beretta]

to be sneaky. im sure ill have a ton of room, cuz im gonna try to hide as much as i can and make it as clean as possible. i dont have ac right now so thats one less thing in there

[bszopi]

Your list is wrong, as no car got the 3400, or large port 3100 until 99. The large port 3100 wasn't even available until 2000, I don't think. It might have been 99 in some models, but I don't think it was until 2000.

I've had really good luck finding the late 90's minivan's with the 3400 very reasonable as complete running vehicles. For example, I picked up a 98 Olds minivan for my swap, running and driving for $350. It looks like it's been beaten like a rented mule, but runs like a top. I can scrap it for more than what I paid for it. It made no sense to spend top dollar at a salvage yard when I could get the motor cheap in a complete running rig.
