I have a 3100 V6 in a 1996 Grand Am GT, I'm not sure what parts interchange, but if you need any parts, let me know.

The engine either blew a head gasket or has a cracked head/block (coolant in oil)

I've decided that it's not worth fixing, so it's going to the scrapyard in the end.

All parts are best offer, and as is.

 

probably just the lower intake gasket, very common failure on the 3100 and 3400 engines. If it hasn't started knocking just toss on a new gasket set and give it an oil change.

 

Thanks, but The car isn't worth the trouble, if it was an F-body, maybe, but its a (not so grand) grand am, even if it ran and drove perfect (it didn't) it woulld still only be a $1500 car.

I just figured some of the 6 shooter guys might be able to use some of the parts.

Thanks-

Eric

 

are the 96 FWD heads way better than say '85 model 2.8 heads? I just bought a '85 2.8, it's the fastest 2.8 I've ever driven, but it doesn't haul butt by any means, and if they work, why not!

 

they are much better than the iron heads, you'll have to use the whole 3100 top end though.

there are several threads on building a hybrid that will help you out.

 

good to know, maybe I'll keep that piece for a little longer. I see a head swap in the near future!
