1995 3100 into a 3.4 dohc

[joejc]

i have recently acquired a 95 monte carlo with a 3100 installed and was heard the 3100 and the 3.4 have the same blocks. What are the chances of turning the 3100 into a 3.4?

impossiable due to the fact the 3100 is a push rod engine and the 3400dohc is over head cam you could engine swap it and put the 3400dohc in it but you cant turn a 3100 into a 3400dohc. now you could bore it over and put a set of 3400 pushrod heads on it and make it in to just a 3400 pushrod engine

I still need to fix the formatting, but here is an article concerning why/how its not possible...

OR you could go to a 3500 setup.... Seems to be the trend... No one but fiero guys and a few of us Odd balls like the DOHC anyway, it takes a special breed to like this motor lol

funny that you mention it i do have a 88 formula edition fiero that i plan on rebuilding the engine for. thanks for all the info i can now research other options.

By "turning" to you mean modifying, or simple swapping in the other?
