Heard of 'em, tried to get some information from them, never got an answer, and have heard from others here on TGO and 60degreeV6.com that they've got a bad reputation.

Re: A.R.I.

I don't understand, are you asking if those people are good or are you suggesting that website to those of us who are doing/have done the 3.4 swap?

He's asking if they're any good, I think.

You don't need to deal with them to do the "3.4L V6 Swap". Besides, A.R.I. sells the stroker kits, or stroked out 2.8/3.1 V6's. There are a lot of advantages to using the actual 3.4L V6. Find one at a junkyard.

Most people I've talked to about A.R.I. with say that they just sell stock GM stuff and call it "Performance" gear.

No problem. There aren't many places to get good stuff for the 3.4L V6, unless you do the 3.4/3x00 hybrid. If you're contemplating that, check out WOT-Tech. If you want to stick with the iron-headed 3.4L V6, check out project89, here on TGO, and his company Pro-Fab. He's port/polishing a set of heads for my build.

Re: A.R.I.

right now it all depends on what I find when I pull the 2.8 in there now I got an oil leak on the drive side around the oil filter, I was told this engine only has 500 miles on it and was a new when put in. I know it was not new by looking at it ( I think it is a new short block). I'm just looking at cost right now.
