3.4L to 3.8L engine swap

[austin1]

I want to swap out my 3.4L V6 engine with a 3.8L V6 engine. Might anyone know of how difficult this might be and whether it's really worth all the trouble...if there is any.
I'm probably going to be giving this car to my son in the next year or so and I'm not real comfortable with putting a V8 in it...to many mods. to much $.
Any knowledge provided is appreciated.

This is in the wrong Board and you should search for the answer. This has been discussed before...

...Oh yea, it is also good to hear that you are giving it to your son and NOT putting a V8 in. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Glad that wasn't directed to anyone else on the board. :rolleyes:

Tranny will bolt up to new engine, and you get that much more power, and you could always sell the 3.4 to some of teh Third gens looking to upgrade ;)

edit: yeah, wrong forum but at least a tranny question was answered ;)

Why are you even a member on this website? This site is all about upgrading V6s.

im just saying, almost all of us are trying to do the same thing, make our cars go as fast as posibble and we all know v6 can only go so fast. but this needs to stop, its a stupid argument
