    3,4Ls are good little motors...

    just talked to the guy that bought my old 3.4L


    Its up to 165k miles. Stock motor all I ever did was adjust the rockers areound 115k because of ticking.


    car been through a few trannies even more clutches, blew out a 10 bolt, broke a drivehshaft even broke a torque arm, and like 600 passes at the strip, road races, autocrosses, and well just me [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Car is still running fine. Not bad for a ~12 year old $13k new off the lot car.

    I've got nearly that many miles too and I agree, it's been super dependable. Has a few squeaks and rattles inside, but can't complain mechanically. I think Camaroman has like 225k on his.

        ....Mine took a HELL of a beating and a lot of ...nvm =P


        All I can say is, just before I sold her she was starting to show wear on the motor at 120k, I guess those stock cast iron heads didn't like how much she was getting.. hahaha

          How the hell did you break a 10-bolt. After a multitude of 5k rpm clutch dumps, my rear is fine...

                how many is a multitude? I had like 500-600 on that car.


                I think the torque arm, and torque arm mount is crazier then the 10bolt with 100k on it.
