I was at the junkyard today and before snagging some cheap, needed parts I was amazed to find this. First time i've seen someone else's car with a 3.4 in it. But, seriously... I hope none of you guys are doing anything like this if you're swapping wires (pardon the subpar quality... I don't bring my camera to junkyards, just my phone... ):




there's a stick plugging a pipe... looked to be a/c, but I dunno? Why would it be plugged with a stick?

 

Holy crap. So they attempted a full SFI swap it looks like.

Thats not what my SFI swap looked like in my s10. I was told it looked factory accept for the intake tube.

 

i love the coilpacks mounted on the fire wall

 

What a mess, my cousin will love these pics, he wants to put a 3.4 into his Cavalier..

 

is it just me or do the pics not work anymore?

 

I can see the pictures. I wonder if it ran better than my 3.4 though.

 

lmao, thats good ole "back wood" engineering at its best

 

he copied my idea of putting the coil paks there when I had teh 3800 in, the bastage.

Other than that....... I'm speechless....... none of my swaps never looked that piece of shitaki mushroom

 

That would be a 3400, not a 3.4, there is a large difference. Besides the 3400 swaps end up lookig pretty much stock and run off the original 2.8 or 3.1 ECM.

www.domesticcrew.com Site dedicated to that very swap.

 

Until proven wrong, I'm going to beg to differ on it being a 3400. For starters I have a '94 with a 3.4. My motor is completely stock and looks identical to that. Secondly if that was a true 3400, then why in the hell would they put the lousy 3.4 heads and intake on the 3400 block. The typical swap for the 3.4 f-body, if your staying six cylinder, is to get the 3400 top end and put that on the 3.4 block. Of course you have to run different pistons and all that junk, but the 3400 fwd motors where a better designed motor in terms of flow in the heads and intake. Lastly if it were a 3400 motor that was completely stock and just dropped in there, the intake would be entirely different and would actually say 3400 on it instead of 3.4, but I might be wrong seeings how I don't know this car at all. I'm just judging from the pictures.

 

i think he was referring to the person who was talking about putting a 3.4 in the cavalier. he meant that a 3400 goes into the cavy, not a 3.4. that is a 3.4 in the pics.

 

Wow, thats wack. My LT1 swap was kinda hack, but looks way better than that!

 

wow that red electical tap really looks good on it to

 

Id like to swap over the whole SFI system as well as the 3.4 but im not goin that far unless i switch to the FWD heads.

I bet all swaps look like that at some point during the process looks like they just got burned out on the whole thing. the wood thing is kinda funny tho.

 

Yes, I was refering to the specific poster, not the pictures that started this thread.

 

That's cool, just at the time seemed like you were talking about the pictures.

 

They should have used light blue tape and wrote Type-S on it...
