I'm putting a 3100 in my 01 cav and I have no idea what to do about the wiring, Any help would be greatly appreciated
since the pushrod 2.2s were basically rearranged 60 degree V-6's (obviously the 2.2 doesn't have 6 cylinders) i'd suggest grabbing wiring diagrams for your engine, and the donor, compare them and see what's different. you will most likely need the PCM since you've got 2 more cylinders to pump gas into and ignite. but i doubt you will have to rewire everything.
CAR GODS MADE THE 1.6 SOHC TO MAKE US 2.2 OHV GUYS FEEL BETTER.
doesn't the 3100 only pump out 140hp?
if you're going 60 degree V6 why not put in a more powerful sibling, like the 3400.
I wouldn't be able to justify putting in a V6 thats as powerful as a 4 cylinder.
Sometimes people get (sometimes great ) deals on engines, wrecked cars, repo'd cars exct. a 3400 will obviously be more expensive than a 3100. i think 140hp was for the older 3.1's the 3100 had increased compression and i think a cam change. becides these engines are all torque anyway.
if you had access to a rear ended car (all wiring intact) for $500. wouldn't that be better than paying $2000 + just for a crate engine.

I got the 3100 for free from my moms car she got t-boned, I was looking for a 3800 but they wanted $1000 from the junkyard so I thought free was better
well there you go. I took my psychic pills today.

Is there any place that I could get the new wiring harness made, So that I don't have to do it myself?
you aren't using the harness in the T-boned car?

I probably will but I thought that alot of stuff like the gages and stuff might not work or won't work because of the different pcm
