3.1-vs-3100

[montess408]

just wondering what the differences between the 3.1(gen2) and 3100 block besides the roller cam .
and what the power differences would be building a motor with the same heads and intakes(gen 3) aprox. same cam specs .i think that the 3.1 and 3x00 use the same crank and rods right ?

thanks guys

3100 sounds cooler? i don't know exactly, but i think most if not all of what you said was right.

and the 3100 does have a better oiling system, thats the only one you didn't mention that i could think of...

Scroll down to 1993 and everything is listed.

that works too.

it mentions MAF in 93, did the 93 cuttys with 3100 use MAF? i know the 94-95 w-bodies with 3100 used SD...

Yes, the 93 Cutty and then the 94-96(?) A-bodies used MAF. They also used the PROM based PCM. The MAF for those engines is integral with the TB.
