Picked up the 3.4!!!
Guys I picked up a 3.4 with only 30k on it. Its from a 95 Camaro for $350, I'm sticking to to my 700 instead of the 95's 4l60 'cause its the electronic version. Is there anything I should do to the engine before I swap it in?
Might be a month or two before I get the car back from the shop because It's in for a frame off!!! I'm gonna be pretty broke again for a while. Anyways I thought I could do all the engine work now, so that when I get the car back its just pop it in and go.
Got a few mods I wanna do like subframe connectors, gotta find a freaking posi rear, gonna get T/A GFX, upholstering the interior, already got disc brakes, need new exhaust( but it can wait), gonna get new 16 inch wheels( I have GTA rims on my car but they're a b*tch to freakin clean, plus I got a few nasty scuffs on 'em.

I suggest pouring some oil into each cylinder and hand crank the 3.4.
Lube the pistons, that way.
Ask any ?'s ya want, I know the score, as I just did this.
END RESULT IS THAT YOU WANT THE 3.4 TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE 2.8 (CURRENTLY UNDER THE HOOD0 WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH.
I HOPE YOU GOT 3.4 FLEXPLATE, BALANCER, 3.4 INDUCTION SYSTEM, MANIFOLDS.
You'll need em!
FREE ENGINE, GREAT SCORE!!!
