My scanner shows me running rich as my BLM is at 100 even at idle or on the road. Can't it be a combination of not enough air and low spark? I've got a new FPR but the injectors are still the old Multecs. More than likely, it the injectors that are giving me trouble. How do you check the color or your spark?

Plz give details

Hybrid Info
The purpose of this thread is to compile as best I can what all there is to doing a hybrid build on a 2.8, which is also the best way for all you guys like me wanting to increase power output, but don't have the time/money and or tools for a v8 swap. As it has been hard to hunt down some of this info. I will include links to information sites and parts sites.

After much research (weeks) into GM 60/6 engines and hybrid builds, and much debating as to whether or not to do a v8 swap I have decided to do a hybrid build on my 2.8 MPFI, it is the most effective way to increase power output for this engine along with aftermarket parts like headers (N/A only, if you plan on going turbo down the road don't get headers) larger cams, and an exhaust system.

Hybrid- (no, not a Prius) is in this case a 2.8l or 3.1l v6 engine with components from its newer better flowing siblings, along with the addition of aluminum heads(I believe the 2.8 and 3.1 engines our cars have both have iron heads): the 3100 and 3400, note that the 3100 engines and 3400 engines are not not one and the same as 3.1 and 3.4 engines respectively(they are the same displacement but different engines within the gm 60/6 family.

In the case of your F-body 2.8 or 3.1 you will be needing your parts from a 3100 or 3400 engine, a 3.4 will not work as it is a DOHC engine whereas ours are single cam 12 valve engines. The 3100 and 3400 top ends will give you the same results with the EXCEPTION being 3100 engines built before 2000, these engines are not as ideal, they are still an improvement but will not flow as much as 3400's and 2000+ 3100's.

So now you know which engines are interchangeable, you can start looking around for top ends, your best bet is going to be a donor engine/car or ebay, or Craigslist. There is also a site that will sell you used/new components or rebuild yours(cheaper to do so):
http://www.wot-tech.com/shop/
Personally unless you have a big wallet I do not recommend them as their stuff gets expensive fast, their performance components would however outperform anything from a donor engine.

This site will have the list of parts that you will need for the swap:

These 2 sites provide engine spec data on 60/6 engines, the 2nd is far more thorough:

Getting the pulley off wasn't that bad, but getting it on was. I did'nt have a vice to work with, so I has to hold the pulley with big channel locks while pressing on the pulley. I could'nt get one of the bolts that go through the front bracket ( on front of engine). I got the top one in fine, but the smaller one wouldn't go. I'll try again tomorrow when I have light. That bracket was never taken off so I don't know why that bolt won't go back in. It didn't look broke on the end. ????. I want to thank Maverick H1L for his removal advice. Thanks.

It has the 3.1, guess the previous owner put a new timing chain on it, but otherwise all original. The engine has 171000 miles on it, Im hoping to keep this going till I can get the bodywork and paint done and another engine ready, probably 6 months or so. What point do these engines go and what can I do to keep it going?

I seafoamed the car, changed the oil, ran it for 20 minutes, and then changed the oil and filter again and put high milage oil in the car. Gonna do plugs, wires, and filter next oil change.

Also what emission stuff can I remove from the car. I dont have to get it tested so whatever I dont need, Ill take off. ]]> V6 Camrs89 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549501-170-000-mile-3-a.html emissions delete help http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549478-emissions-delete-help.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:06:11 GMT well i found out here in va they dont really check for emissions, so im gona remove it. its a 1984 camaro v6 2.8L backed with a t-5 5 speed. now my... well i found out here in va they dont really check for emissions, so im gona remove it. its a 1984 camaro v6 2.8L backed with a t-5 5 speed. now my question is what do i have to do? i now i remove the smog pump and a lot of the vaccum things go away, but i need more details. will the computer tho a code? do i need to replace the carb? the disturber? all help is welcomed and thank you. ]]> V6 DARKmj16 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549478-emissions-delete-help.html Branching out so headers for sale!!!! http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549432-branching-out-so-headers.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:19:48 GMT Well I am keeping my 3.4 86 camaro but I just purchased an 88 camaro with a blown 350 in it.

So all the things I was palnning on doing to the v6 are off and I will continue to use ti as my daily driver. The headers I brought for it are up for sale for $200 which is what I paid for them plus shipping. They are coated black with most all parts minus the gaskets. I am located in Va Beach zip 23453 if you wanna try and price the shipping yourself. If intrested send a pm and we can go from there.

Will post a few pics of the new ride in the next couple of days. Young guy moved out of his dads house left the car which he was restoring. All body work done, new interior (carpet, dash, paneling, seats), complete front end, tranny, heads still wrapped in plastic, just a heck of a deal for $500. All dude needed was a 350 block (which I have) and he could have been riding but his lost is my gain. Told his dad to junk it and he came over and offered it to me for a steal. ]]> V6 Derickab http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549432-branching-out-so-headers.html stud sizes http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549382-stud-sizes.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:27:17 GMT any one know the stud sizes for the exhaust manifold studs. ive got 2 broken on the pass side middle of the manifold. i would like to replace them... any one know the stud sizes for the exhaust manifold studs. ive got 2 broken on the pass side middle of the manifold. i would like to replace them asap. ]]> V6 enswrob http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549382-stud-sizes.html new turbo header im working on, retians all accesorys http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6/549346-new-turbo-header-im.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:53:39 GMT well on a 3.1 it requires removal of the smog pump pic/animation added below well on a 3.1 it requires removal of the smog pump
