3.4l rwd topend

[i8sum2]

well ive read a lot and the weak point is the top end im doing a full rebuild. i need to do a topend swap not sure on what topend to go with and what work would be involved. If any1 that has done the swap can give me info and head cast numbers that would be great. Was told to get a 96 grand am top end? i have no clue about the swap any info will help

Correct me of im wrong im just rounding up all the parts for the swap my self, but as far as i know FOR A 4th GEN CAMARO for a 3rd gen camaro u can use most of the 3500 stuffs u will want the Dished Pistons 3400 (so ur compressions not to high), Rods 3400, Heads 3400 UIM/LIM 3400 w/ runners and injectors TB( also depending on the app aftermarket tunein IE Jet/Venom/Megasqurit) vortech throttle line, GM 3-wire temperature sensor, Rockers 3.4 , Pacestter/rksport headders and an adaptor to go from the intake manifold to the heater hose two pieces from aeroquip.
Goodluck Oh and the gaskets they have new and improved ones

3.4 can use the 3500 heads and manifolds. 4th gen Fbod, the 3500 UIM won't fit unless you mill it down and weld it back up, but the 3400 UIM will fit, but might want to shave the lettering off for cowl clearance.

Soon will be the complete install instructions with pics and part numbers since I am having a 4th gen shipped here for the swap, so stay tuned guys.

Hey Forced, i got a turbo kit for mine and i have all the part except the Pistons from the 3400, should i use those or get custom ones any ideas ?

[i8sum2]

so i need 3400 pistons and rods?

[ForcedFirebird]

3.4 RWD pistons will give you 11.5:1 or so compression with 3500 head gaskets and 3500 top end. 3500 top end and 3400 pistons is about 9.1:1.

so i need 3400 pistons and rods?

yea, in the 3400s the rods are different lengths i believe or u can get some custom ones. there cheap. and forced answer ur question about the pistons. Forced know all the specs lol and most of my knowaldage is just copy+paste info from Forced and Russel on differnt forums Search or wait for his write up

Forced any idea on what pistons i should get ? if i should just go high compression w/ low boost >?
