3.4 high milage engines for sale
HI All.
First let me tell ya what I bought to swap into my Blazer.
1995 Camaro 3.4 50K motor w/30 day warranty.
Complete (w/fuel injection, starter, manifolds, balancer-flywheel, some hoses & wires, no ECM)
$900, including CA sales tax & delivery to me.
My second motor from this wrecking yard in LA.
NOW
These LOW MILAGE 3.4 are getting harder to come by each passing day.
Last 3.4 I got from him, I had a selection for 4 to choose from.
NOW, Only one Low Milage 3.4 choice & more $$ than last one I bought (44K 3.4 @ $800 - 2/01).
What I was told is that he can get all the high milage 3.4 ya want.
SO who wants a good rebuildable core for $$ + shipping?
He's in Los Angeles, heart of down town.
You tell me what ya wanna spend (& BE REAL PEOPLE) and I'll see what I can do.
Wrecking yard gets your old engine as a core.
You pay shipping or you come to LA & pick up.
Cash, US Post Office Money Orders, Credit Cards.
IF in CA, Sales Tax, too.
I can probably get these "core-high milage 3.4's" w/all the goodies that I bought (intake, etc).
IF I can assist, let me know.
Don't waste my time for just heads or blocks or intakes.
I will only ask for a 3.4 long block (see details above).
IF I can assist, let me know.
Again, I paid $900 for my 50K 1995 Camaro motor.
These RWD 3.4 ONLY available from 1993-1995 model year (yes, I know 3.8 became available in MID-1995 model year. I got the 1995 Firebird brochure to quote).
Hope this may assist someone here.
No, I do not know how much this will cost ya.
Use my 3.4 purchase price as a guide, tho.

Karl, I will be in the market for one in about a mounth or so, mileage is not a problem because I was going to re-build it anywase so I will let you know in a few weeks when I can get one.
A few questions:
Is the 3.4 at max bore or can I bore it to a 3.8?
Are the heads aluminum or cast iron?
Could I use the 3.4 computer (so that I could add a chip) and intake or will that be a wiring nightmare.
Thanks man
David

I have connections will all of the big junk yards/auto salvages. Do you know how many third gens they get let alone 4th gens or cars with a 3.4????? NONE and if they do they are in peices or the engine is junk. TRUST me I get good deals at a lot of places and these guys don't lie to me and if they had a 3.4 they could even hold for me they would, Im sure the guy you are talking about went to the HUGE salvage yard in Kentucky not here in Indiana. I am sorry for just trying to make an engine a little faster and a little beter. I mean I am just an idiot I only have a 2.8 runing a 0-60mph in 8 seconds flat with paper filters, stock exhaust, stock computer, and stock engine enternals, beat up suspension and engine problems, and I get 300 miles to the tank.
If you dont like having questions like mine then DO NOT MAKE A TECH ARTICLE!
From here on out I will not bother asking you any questions because I have lost all respect for you on the 3.4. I will no longer provide information on how I got my 0-60 time for a meesley 100 bucks either because when I ask someone a question it get this type of response. I know how much shiping is also but I have freinds in the freight buisness and I get it CHEAP I am talking $30 cheap from L.A.

Get the engines from him.
I just got a my 50K 3.4 for $900.
IF ya wanna hop up, bore out, etc,
I'm not the one that ventures there.
I only do a reasonably price Smog Legal swap of this 3.4.
The engine works just fine, straight outta the other car.
If you did more research, find that GM pub, perhaps it would help narrow down how to spend your extra effort/dollars more wisely.
Couldn't care less if ya do/don't like my style.
I'm not offering these tips to fit everyones plans.
EVERY ANY SWAP IS A CUSTOM PROJECT.
It's your car, your effort, your sign off to me.
Hopefuly the answer/phone number I gave ya will work, so I am no longer bothered by ya.
Later.

Maybe by doing more research, you'll figure out how to do things do "beter", too
"I mean I am just an idiot"
You said that so well.
Don't act like one to Marty, either.
He'll slam down the phone on ya, too.
He doesn't need a customer like you.

Sad
You are a Leader of a Civil Defense program?
This is the way you want to express yourself
This is the way you want to "impress" the others
You are one really sad person
Please lock this, Billy.
