I just purchased a 93 V6 Camaro and I live in Sydney Australia and these cars are not plentiful down here, especially a V6, so I need help, I think the intake is a 98, the engine itself matches the Vin, so that should still be 3.4 litre, the seats have 30th Anniversary embossed in them, what have I got? please see pics.
That's a pre 99+ upper and lower, but it looks like somebody used a non standard throttle body. Perhaps one off of another non f-body 3.8 car. Looks like that car was a 3.4 judging by the horribly dismembered wiring harness on the left in that picture and the diagrams on the radiator support, etc... Actually the more I look at it I think that actually may be the throttle body off of the 3.4.
It's actually right hand drive, there is a Toyota steering box on the end of the steering shaft connected by a uni to another steering box going to the steering wheel, that way the engine bay is uncut and steering geometry stays original, the worse part is the catalyctic converter hump is on the drivers side.
The conversion was done in 98. I also own a 74 Formula Firebird and a 66 GTO both Right hand drive, nowadays you can leave them LHD when they are 30 years old.
Franky, if it bothers you, you could get your hands on an intake from I believe a VN Holden V6 and use that instead. There are some of the intakes that are taller, but not sure which. More than likely I'll have to space the k-member or modify the mounts for mine to fit.
My only concern was for maintenance, we are driving to Melbourne, around a 10 hour drive for a Chev Festival and I would like to take a spare belt etc. A Mechanic here would just scratch his head, looks like a 98 + belt right? Attached pic. shows RHD.
Yeah, belt length should be just fine. You're gonna have a lot of other parts that you can cross reference with the V6's over there. I believe they're known as Holden Ecotec V6's.
I did own a 1990 VN Commodore, traded it in with over 280 thousand Kilometres, wasn't using a drop of oil or water, we now have a 99 VT with a 3.8 and again excellent, my work vehicle is a 05 VZ Crewman a 4 door ute with the Alloytec V6 3.6 litre, a bit sluggish, but great for work.
