dead 3.4

[jimmy91444]

No 1 piston in the pan in pieces and hole in cyl wall
due to lack of 3.4 around my place could i put a 3.1 in it without much problem

[grandprixgtp_91]

no putting in a 3.1 wont be that bad. the front frame is the same.

[jimmy91444]

will I be able to used the same wiring and motor mount?
well about computer?

[Rhedalert]

use the same bottom mount, will need to swap the upper mounts aka dogbones. You could keep the ecm if you use a '93 3.1 memcal....not positive if the harness can be used on the 3.1, good possibility!

[jimmy91444]

would a 3100 or 3.8 be a better candidate?
will they bolt to the tranny?

[SappySE107]

Those would require tuning or swapping the computer and more wiring. Putting another DOHC in would be the best candidate for performance and ease of install. Where do you live that you can't find a DOHC block or complete engine?

I live in victoria b c and nothing in the junck yard (there is 5 around here).
even the dealer say s he can not find anything .

I live in the san fracisco bay area and I've called every junk yard within 40 miles (no kidding, my dad has a LOT of phone books) and I only found one Z34, and I couldn't find any Getrag 284's. I think junked W-bodies are just really rare on the west coast.

Yeah, I went to SF in august, seriously almost no w-bodies. But theres this place by Sacremento, called Rancho Cordova, they have a whole street of junkyards But ne ways San Franciso is beautiful.

thank s guy s I have a junk yard that is looking . and also a body shop hopefully
something will come up . I m not in a rush but you know how it is. I got it , it should work!
The scrap yard found one in Vancouver B.C, they want 1700.00 for it plus tax and shiping it s a 93 with 180000 kms. Too expensive for me . I ll wait!

Buy one off of eBay.... its cheaper than the ass raping out there--even with shipping it!

[SappySE107]

Ah, that does suck then. Shipping would probably suck for just a block alone as well.

I recently spun a bearing in my #4 cylinder, and let me tell you, I'd rebuild it if I was you. It wasn't cheap, the rebuild alone was $2600, then $450 for a clutch,a dnb about $200 for other random parts. But it was well worth it. And if you did the rebuild yourself, you'd save a lot. I just didn't have the time.

I went up to Marquette MI a few weeks ago, and I saw 3 different Z34s. I thought that was a little odd for being in the middle of no where.
