so i started my swap a week ago and thought id share. Many say that swapping from a 2.4l to a v6 is not worth it, but it isnt that hard and will be worth is. Hardest part so far was removing the 2.4l and trans. The damn bastard didnt want to come out and fought me hard, but i won. Its a shame i cant use the original transmission cause it still works great. Found out the clutch still has alot of life but the flywheel is seriously worn. using the mounts, harness, and computer i pulled from a 97 GA with a 3100. Everything from the 3100 will fit the 3400 so far. Had milzymotorsports.com put their 3400 performance tune on the 97 pcm, yet to test it. Using a stock clutch from a 94 3.1l cavalier, its larger, more robust, higher torque capacity, and uses the same internal slave cylinder as the 2.2l isuzu trans i have. Will report with more progress as i go along. And i will say that the 4 cylinder feels ALOT heavier than the v6.
It's going to be a "Formula" trim level when im finished. How you ask? It will have one of the biggest engines that can fit into the engine bay(installing), prothane mounts(installed), F-body 12" front disk brakes(ready to be installed), rear disk brakes(sourcing parts), Sprint higher spring rate coil springs(installed), 1" front and rear sway bars(installed), kyb gas shocks/struts(installed), a wider 215 55r16 wheel combination(installed), manual transmission with low gearing(installing), LSD(saving money for) se appearance with gt rear bumper(installed), true dual exhaust with H pipe(sourcing parts) Oldsmobile achieva complete dash swap(installed) Sunroof(installed), wheels will be re-powder coated white. Pictures are old and do not show the changes except the engine pics. will take current pics after the swap
