3.4 convertion 3.8

[Jlo]

is it possible to drop a 3.8 into my 95 3.4 5 speed, if so.... what will i need to have a clean set up

[bu-bye]

sure it can be done but if you are going to go through all the trouble why not drop in a LT1. Cost would be about the same and there is more info on 3.4 to LT1 then 3.4 to 3.8.

exactly oyu would be upgradig from a v6 to a not all that much faster v6.


If you are dieing for a 3.8L, take your mods off oyur car sell it buy one and put your mods onto it.

there is a dude that is selling his 3.8 30k mile engine and trannny with radiator for 1700 how much more for a Lt1 would it be, and about how much on average for installation for both would i be looking at

[Jlo]

also does it just drop in, same engine mounts for eather the 3.8 or lt1 or do i need to buy other adapters etc

I know of a Heads/cam Lt1 with tuned computer, wiring harness, and front accessories for 2k.

if you go from a 3.4 to a 3.8 you will not need engine mounts and you could even keep your trans.


if you from a 3.4 to a lt1 you will need engine mounts a new trans anew drive shaft a new rear axel a new coputer and all kinds of other **** and if you decide to do it at a dealership it will cost you between 5-7000 just to do the engine your looking at about 10000 for the hole set up if you do it your self you are looking at about 5000 if you buy all new parts

i would take your friends engine and drop it in unless you have the time and money to do the lt1

personaly i would go with an ls1 but that cost about 6000 just for the engine

Where do you shop?

I have called places that sell the LS1 with 15-30K miles, tranny, computer, mounting hardware for 4K.

[91Camaro]

i wouldnt buy one with any miles on it i only buy new

[Jlo]

ok so if i go with the 3.8 all i need is the motor and drop it in and that's it right no wires or cpu will i need to purchase just the motor and drop it in

[snotty]

At www.jjsautomotive.com they sell complete ls1 with everything for 3500.00 man the places around you guys are ripoffs that sux

[MustangEater8251]

You need a the computer system and wiring harness.

ITs going to cost you alot more then you want.

$2k-3k for 40 hp?

Custom turbo could give you 60 70 hp and alot cheaper.

or even nitrous.

[91Camaro]

you will need the cpu and the wireing harness but thats all
