I think you can drop a 3.4L long block under the intake manifold.

Yea, that's what you can do. KED85 has a whole tech article on the site.

I think its under "Misc. Mods"
Check out the V6 forum. Us Cali guys are waiting for the CARB approval on Camaro Hunter C's headers. I think the price is in the $200 range. But, if you have a stickshift, I have heard they do not fit. Another thing is, you'll have to get a custom Y pipe made. Come by the V6 board and ask around, do a search. One thing I recommend is TomP's tuneup article. Just do a search on the V6 board and you'll find lots of info on keepin your 6 runnin, and peppy.

Check out the S10 boards too. The 2.8L V6 is the same for both vehicles, and there are lots of upgrades for those truck engines.
