Buddy of mine says that he has one, says there's a plate on the top of the motor classifying it as such, but I don't think there ever has been one that wasn't 12 valves. Any insight?

 

Cadillac makes a DOHC 2.8 V6.. dont know if its the same one hes mentioning..

 

He's saying it's in his Firebird, I dunno, I think someone found a plate, plopped it on the Intake or TB and shafted him.

 

that sucks....

if you can get a picture and post it up i bet we can figure out where it came from .

 

Yeah, currently waiting for him to snap a picture.

 

There have been many 24 valve V6s made, but since this is the third gen site and specisfically the V6 forum, I'll narrow it down to one that would relate to this vehicle.

There was 3.4L DOHC, 24 Valve V^, based on a 660, but the only swappable parts are the crank and the intermediat timing chain (and some bearings), between it's pushrod counter part.
This engine was only ever offered in FWD vehicles, namely mid '90s Grand Prix, and a few other vehciles mostly of the same W-body platform.

I have only heard of one person, long ago attempting to install one of these engines in a third gen, but I never heard if he got it running or not.

 

I think thats the engine that came in the beretta Z26 or something like that too wasnt it?

 

Nope, beretta's only got the 3.1, Z26 or not... Some luminas could have it though...

 

Yeah, turns out I guess it was just some assumption he had, it's not anything rare of the sorts. Lol Thanks guys.

 

I just looked it up, I was thinking the GTZ with the 2.3 DOHC. Its a 4banger, not a 6. Ops

 

my friends mid 90's Monte-lumina has teh 3.4 dohc. still runs too.
