3.4 Camaro motor into non-GM?

[Flipper_1938]

I bought a 3.4 / 700R4 combo to stick into a suzuki samurai.

Does anybody have the details on making the fuel injection work? I have heard there are 6 wires that need to be spliced in. Which 6 wires?

Eventually get hot-rodded, right now I just want it to run.

take the whole wireing harness and from the camaro and stick it in the suzuki, no splicing required.

The whole thing? ...tail lights and all?

I was thinking just the engine management stuff. What do I need to make it run?

[chevyman350]

No, just the engine wiring harnes and computer.

Anybody got detailed instructions on needs to be spliced in to make this work (harness)? Pictures would be nice.

One source is the public library. They have many manuals. I rebuilt an auto trans this way. Just copied the pages for a couple dollars. Do you have access to the donor car? Find the computer and trace back to the ignition switch to figure it out. All the sensors for the computer are bound to be on the engine. From there, it would run to the computer. Only "off engine" stuff I could think of would be for gauges /idiot lights, and to the electric fuel pump. Good luck.

Also, take a look at this address: http://www.s10forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88258
It is to a post on the s10forum. One of the posters seems to know about what you need.

http://bmcautos.com/ Check out v6 MGB Conversions and then go to parts. I do not have pictures or even a complete listing, but we have far more then listed out. Someday, that information will be updated too. I mostly stick with the 3.4L "L32" Camaro motor and put it in a few different vehicles, mostly MGBs and a Spitfire is currently being done now. I have a 1982 S10 that has ran around with a tandem axle trailer connected to it half the time for the last four years now as well with that motor.
We have all the bits and pieces to do anything with this motor.. Not with any other motor. Pulley setups to delete the AC and/or power steering, antitheft system disable systems, and I am just about to complete and market the Secondary wiring harness that has all the proper relays and fuses to properly protect the PCM and motor. By any means, converting to carburetion from a 1980-1985 2.8L motor will cost less, but in teh end, you propbably will not like what you get in comparison.
FWIW,

Damn, I bet a V6 in a MGB is fun! I wish you had more pictures on your site. I would like to see what a SFI motor looks like all cleaned up.

[BMC]

I have a number of pictures, but all of them show it with the stock PCM, we are changing it over to a Haltec now... Shoot me your email and i will send a picture or three..

I should have stated: I do not have pictures on the website yet!

Oh, BTW Flipper,
If you purchased a automatic that came with the 3.4L motor, then it is a 4L60-E series and you will need the correct PCM to operate that gearbox... you will also need to stay with the VSS which depending on your final drive ratio and tires, may keep you from achieving a high top end... Not that you would want to go terribly fast if its a high rider anyways??
You could skip the slush box and get a manual. The weight savings and space savings might be worth the extra cost of a HTOB and or other pieces that it could potentially take to build it.
Are you going 4WD or just 2?

-BMC.

[Flipper_1938]

It's gonna be 4wd. Right now I am planning on using the divorced transfer case that is already in the zuk. I figured that the automatic would be easier on the rest of the drivetrain (less shock)

[BMC]

I hear that alot about automatics, but it really depends on how you drive anything. If your hard on an automatic, things will still break. If your easy on a manual, it should last a long time. The Spitfire conversion here in my shop started as a 3.8L with an automatic, but when i took the project over, we took on the standard 3.4L with a manual. The T5 is half the width of an auto and about half the weight.
Do you have the correct auto for that ora re you sure its an older 700R4 from a 1980's type vehicle?

It is the trans that came with the motor, I assumed it was a 700R4. How would I know for sure?

[BMC]

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.
