basic 3.4lt swap questions...
WHat vehicles did this motor come in? Are some better to use than others (were some more horsepower, better internals stock than others)? Does the 3.4 have a spot for the Cold Start Injector? What needs to be used speciffically off the 3.4 block? I think thats it for now.

finding one here in the lower rainland is a hard thing to do, and theres a tech article by ked85 telling you exactly what needs ot be done

If you were set on a V6 drop, I'd put a 3.8L in. Better overall engine that handles abuse better. I've had more issues with my 3.4L than any good boy should, lol. The three-eights also come from the 93-2002 camaro / firebird. Shouldn't cost you that much more $$.

But the 3.4 is a direct block swap! no extra work besides that...a 3.8 or v8 will require rewiring!
