3.4 Camaro motor into non-GM?

[Flipper_1938]

It has two electrical plugs on the side. One is a plug that has about umm, 13 pins going into the round plug and 2 going into the other.
This will be a 4L60-E and totally PCM controlled. More bad for conversions then good. All 3.4L L32 Motors came with 4L60 and the later came with 4L60-E if i remember correctly... I do not like autos, so i am not the guy to ask all the real tuff Q's about these.. I just know the generals- slushboxes, you know.

That doesn't sound like my transmission. I think mine is a 700r4





Also there is more stuff missing than the guy said. the coil packs and the power steering pump is gone. Anybody have any they want to sell cheap?

[Flipper_1938]

Also, the harness was cut

Now I guess I need to figure out what I am going to do as far as the fuel injection.

What computer and wiring harnesses will work with the hard parts that I do have?

I am not looking for ultimate horsepower, I am more enterested in good power and driveability from idle through the mid-range.

I have some extra coil packs that i could sell, but not interested to sell the extra wiring harness i have. Check out the Chevy S10 site- s-series.org some one on there may have converted and then used carb, so they might have parts. Do you need a power steering pump for your conversion? I have extras, but use teh bracket, so i do not have the aluminium bracket you would need to mount it.
That does look like it is missing the plugs that i am talking about, but its been along time since looking at a automatic.

Do a search on google, there's a lot of Camero and firebird parts companies that can sell you a harness. I can't remember where I bought mine from but it was only $50. I sent it to Dynatech in California to have it modified, that was a mistake though, they did a good job but took almost three months to do it. If I were you I would have Fuel injection technologies do the work. I don't know a link to them sorry. I'm a fairly capable mechanic but looking at this harness it seems like it's a little more work than I would want to do, so in my oppinion the modifying work is best left to a pro.
The 4L60E isn't (or 7000R4) isn't the strongest of transmissions but it's definitely strong enough for a zuke. There's no way you'd break it, trust me, zukes only weigh about 1800. Most likely you'll break those little toothpick axleshafts.
You also might want to look into swaping a NP231 from a S10 instead of using that little divorced T-case. They have a 2.72 to one low range instead of the 2:1 that you have now. If you're going to go big, you'll need even more than that though.

Guys,

Just some pics of our use of the 3.4L... I think you will enjoy the end results of your project, and if not, you can always sell the bits off to some MG B owner.
Imagine taking a Camaro, removing 1000 pounds from it, lowering it and giving it a little less wind resistance, that is kind of like what its like to drive one of these.
Thank you,

i have an extra power steering pump with the bracket i'd let go for 20$ + shipping( i was keeping it around if mine ever kicked the bucket, but im not too sure how much longer im even gonna have a p/s pump on my car :P

PM me if you want it, i can get pics too if you want me to

[BMC]

I never need the pump, but could use the bracket for the coil packs, but that is one piece i have an extra couple.. Might need it in a few months though, so dont throw it.
We also have a deletion kit for the power steering and AC. Mostly to be used to delete the AC and not run a silly extra pulley where the AC was, since we have no room on our cars. It comes with the belt, pulley change and hardware kit. It requires removal of the alternator/ AC brakcket, drilling a hole and a small altertion of the serpintine belt tensioner. I usually just do that in house, but can sell just the parts. These are aimed at MG V6 owners, but also fit with and conversion still capable of using the alternator bracket- which means it wil work in the S10, Camaro and probably 98.3% of conversions using this motor. If you were to just delete the power steering, you might be able to just use a pulley change, but if you delete just the AC and leave the power steering, then I would have to research belt sizes to make sure the correct setup can be sentif you are interested.

BTW: What kind of steering box would you use if removing the power steering? Or did the 93-95 Camaro have rack and pinion?

-BMC.

[StudlyCamaro]

i already have the AC gone and still have the power steering pump.. i didnt have to modify the tensioner pulley at all ... i just ran a shorter belt

yeah i have a rack and pinion, but if i got rid of the PS i would need some skinnies in order to turn (ive been considering getting skinnies for a while now)

[Flipper_1938]

This makes me want to get rid of the zuk and buy a project MGB!!!

We have done alot of work to clean the wiring up on these and make them even better since that picture was taken. That particular car is now receiving a Haltec E6K ECU, had a nitrous system installed. It also has a shaved flywheel, a little bump in cam, roller rockers (1.52), a larger TB, better intake, and of course headers.

The Iron head engines are easy installs since we sell a bolt in kit with mounts and headers. I particularly like the 3.4L L32 Camaro/Firebird motor and almost all the parts I sell are specific for that motor into everything, but mostly MG Bs. A client of mine is building his car out there in Louisville KY, and more people are all over the country building these systems. My opinion is that it beats the MG B "BOP/R" V8 (Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac/ Rover all aluminium V in quality, performance and reliability- but there are some who would highly disagree with me.

Brian- Which TB did you use in that 3.4L green B? I'm trying to find a larger TB for my MGB/V6 conversion. I'm using a 2.8 MPFI out of a 86 Camaro. Pat

Pat,
i have them custom made. The one in the pictures are of the stock unit.

I think I am going to get an entire wiring harness out of a donor car and just swap out the whole electrical system.

What are the best donor cars? Camaro or something else?

[Flipper_1938]

I ended up getting a computer and underhood wiring harness out of a 1995 Camaro. Now the fun part of hooking it up to the suzuki.

Anybody know of any online wiring diagrams?
