TADA!!


Gotta buy a bunch of parts for it this week but shes in and bolted down...whatcha think?

 

The underside lighting is a nice touch. I like it. Now you need to get the rest of the engine bay to jive.

 

when i finally get it to move under its own power itll be off to paint. the poweder coat on the motor wont stand out as much once its painted. it is pretty bling in there lol more so in person

 

I don't normally like that intake manifold, but that looks nice!

 

I think that intake looks way better coated than on any 4th gen. I've seen. Any body know where I can get custom throtle cables?

 

a few more things bolted on, almost time to sent my injectors off for a test and clean hopefully will know something back on that soon... cap rotor and plug wires will be here tomorrow. whoopie

*** notice dizzy in the background** lol

 

and the new msd toys have arrived

 

after test fitting the fuel rail it looks like i might actually have enough room to get the fuel lines connected. going to have to come up with a creative bend though. any suggestions?

 

looks like probably bend them up then come over the block or up then around the dist. or something of that nature.

 

I need to go out there and see if maybe they will squeeze in there with the stock bends... But i'm pretty sure they won't

 

well check that out...turns out with a little bit of bending i think i can make the stock lines work...who wouldve thought


**thanks to GM for being Cheap and re using pretty much everything from the scrap bin from year to year

 

well it was a bitch but the lines are connected...ill probably change them at some point i dont really like the bends the way they are not to mention they block a lot of the bolt heads. getting the intake bolted down was tricky. however everything is connected and i have fuel pressure(almost shot me in the face). everything is primed and ready..just waiting on the FPR to get here tomorrow and once i put it on its time to see if it starts. wish me luck

 

You need to find a way to clean that up a little. Kinda distracts from that nice candy manifold...

 

I'll prob wait till it's broke in to change that around but I agree it doesn't look good. It did start though

 

Looks good in there! The 3.4 is a great motor. I've been stuffing it with 15 lbs of boost for years with no problems. What kind of rocker arms are those?

 

Crane gold aluminum race rockers I think was the name, I bought those like three years ago, 1.6 ratio

 

Those are the same ones I have. Through some headers on that motor to really wake it up. Never mind I see you already have a set.

 

I've had headers since before pacesetter started making them. They woke up the 3.1 so I'm sure the new motor will love them

 

Got a 4th gen throttle cable today, looks to be the right length.. Getting ready to go toy with it and see if it will attach to the pedal. If it does I'm going for a loud cruise through the neighborhood( no exhaust ha ha)

 

So the 4th gen cable fits perfectly with no modification

 

well nice to know that you found a use for the 3.4 i had a 3.4 camaro it was a 4th gen with a 3.4 and i kinda hated it bc i couldnt really do anything with it but i see you have found something and did something with it best of luck with your engine

 

It's a pretty common swap for our thirdgens... Turbo install coming soon

 

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've seen a ton of 3.4 swaps here so I was wondering how much power they put out? Yours looks great BTW!

 

Wow, looks really awesome man! I suppose this is what I'm eventually going to do. Just out of curiosity where did you pick up the motor and how much did you pay for it?

 

homestly i dont know how much it put out after it was put in, it needed a tune and now its getting a turbo put on. however my 3.1 put out 133hp and 178tq...so id assume a bit more than that.

the block i got from the junkyard cost about 550, but ive got more money in the motor than i can even remember now
