Are the 3500s DOHC???

[RacerX11]

No. They are pushrods, just like the 3400.

Then why nto just use the 3400 and avoid making a whole new motor....?

Will somebody please give Aaron a slap........

[jeremy96gase]

Cause the 3500 is .4L bigger than the 3100 that was in the old malibu's.

3500 makes 200HP : 00+ 3x00 170HP.
Cleaner emisions, better gas milage, and the words "new and improved" are selling points.

Why are we using 3x00s at all? Why not just use iron headed Gen1 2.8's with small journals breathing through a 2bbl carb?

My cousin has an 89 Cutty w/ a 2.8 mpfi if ya want it

[jeremy96gase]

So I'll take that as a no.

New Question, What would it take to put a 3500 in to my 96 Grand Am?

[SappySE107]

Time, money, effort.

[pocket-rocket]

Research, maybe some fabrication of mounts, wiring diagrams possibly.

[SappySE107]

TB adapter plate, a plug or welding for the IAC location on the plenum, possibly the computer or a sensor change for the CPS. Hard to say what all is needed till someone has the motor to compare things with.
