2.8/3.1 ---> 3.4 swap

Guys,
My father found a 93bird that has been totalled, it has about 100k miles and the drive train still works great. I'm going to be finding a nice car to drop it into(3rd gen of course). I know this topic has been beat to death and i have went through the archives like i usually do but i wasn't able to find anybody that actually used the 3.4 SFI injection..
Has anybody actually used it? I really want the SFI for gas milage. If you think about it, the LT1 gets like 28-30mpg on the highway, so the 3.4 has to get a minimum of 30.

Any help would be appriciated!

Brendan

the #1 reason no one uses the injection is cuz then the swap is not worth it cuz you gotta change the computer and such

I figured as much. But i'm willing and ready to reprogram all that is necassary and trace a couple of wires if need be. Who cares if it takes a little work.

And number two, you get to run just as great with the old style intake set up.
I know.
I did it.
NO complaints.
And honest, you get back on the road way quicker!! Problem solving is 100% easier.
Believe me, I really wanted to keep that cool looking 3.4 intake set up, but, it wasn't worth the effort.
I was able to do all I wanted, by following my receipe for swapping.
