^ Agreed... the B on the block is a good giveaway too.


It will fit with a little work, and run very well too.

I'd say more than a "little work", especially for someone that has to ask if it's a FWD or RWD engine.

-new mounts
-modified oil pan or crossmember
-Prom swap or re-programming the ECM for the DIS ignition
-modified exhaust manifolds and Y- pipe or custom headers
-custom brackets for the belt driven accessories
-Modified bell housing to clear the new starter location
-sourcing of the missing parts assuming that all you get is what is in the picture
-a bunch of other small details

For some of us this is a "little work", for most however, this is a lot of work.

Re: 3.1l 3100?

Yeah I'm young and new to this whole thing . But thank you! I'm just trying to get something new in my car . I didn't realize finding stuff for the v6 would be so hard. I just found out my cars odometer was rolled back before I bought it .😟 sounds like it would be easier/cheaper to have mine rebuilt .

Re: 3.1l 3100?

There are plenty of parts for the v6, you just have to know where to look. check out the sticky at the top of the page, there are tons of aftermarket parts listed in there. Is there something currently wrong with your 3.1 as far as leaks or running bad? Or are you just wanting to freshen it up? Keep in mind, you aren't going to just drop a new/rebuilt engine in there and go out running with all the V8s unless you have a good amount of work. That said, it can be done. A lot of us have done it before.
