Re: hay v6ers i got ?

The 350 will be the easiest to build, swap, find parts for, make power out of, and obviously will make the most. The only way you will get that much out of the 3.4 is with boost, or an extremely aggressive N/A build and an equally aggressive weight loss program. And I assume the GTP you are referring to is the supercharged 3800, which would be a pretty difficult swap, with a lot of fabrication, and imo not worth it, not bashing the motor in any way, its a great motor, just not worth the trouble given the alternatives unless you want to be different.
So basically, boost or 350. Though I don't see you getting 25 mpg from a 350
