i second the 3.4 swap, unless youre going for all out power, and/or you have tons of money, then go 383 carbed or elle tee juan (project85 term, lol) if you go w/ the 3.4, mod it, itll be even more worth it when you drop it in. i wish i had more than i did.

3.1 or 3.4, if you can find it.

I have many more 3.1s locally than 3.4s - but they are out there!

3.4L + T5 = FUN and good on gas
