my 83 firebird is rated at 107hp I beleave. so 110 sounds about right!
1999 Olds Alero 2.4 to 3500 swap (running). totaled by a honda
1992 lumina 4 door 3500 3spd auto 15.020 @93.5 mph
1984 Cavalier type 10 hatch 3100 5spd!!!
14.96@91.47 in the 1/4
9.63@74.36 in the 1/8th
14.30 on slicks! scrapped due to rust!
Thanks guys, and yes it is a carbed motor, original to the car. According to this webpage, http://www.worldzone.net/auto/olds/c...era/index.html
, 1986 was the last year to have it. 1987 brought the 2.8 Gen II FI V6
EFI on the 660 appeared as early as 85. But as shown in the past not everything gets the new goodies right away. The J-Body for instance had the 3.1L until 1994 where as other cars got the 3100 as early as 1993.
It is possible it is the H.O. version of the carbed 2.8, with 135HP. You can tell by the VIN number, the 8th digit will be for the engine....X is the standard 2.8, Z is the H.O. 2.8.

Marty,
Thats true for our X-11's but does it still hold water for the other bodies? I know the VIN Digit changes between the X and A bodies. If it is the same, then Z will be the HO motor and X will be the lo-po. If its the HO, then the ratings will be 135HP and 145tq.
Tuning a car is full of compromises. You must decide if you are willing to give up either reliability, performance, or a whole load of cash. Also remember that repairs will seem to come up much more often as you strive for even more performance
Sorry for the confusion, Marty, yea the 8th digit IS the motor. What I meant was the X bodies used X and Z to designate hi or lo po engines. The A bodies used more or less the same engines as the x but had different letters (not sure of what they are). So I am really wondering if 93luminaz34's Ciera's engine code would be same as the X (though I wouldnt think so).
