Congrats on the swap dude. Looks like it turned out pretty damn good. I may have missed it in the maze of pictures, but did you get it running yet? Just kinda curious what it feels like.

Huge improvement overthe 2.2. Have you had a chance to drive it yet? By the way you might want to keep an eye on those shady guys in the shop...I think one of them took your bong!

Looks like it came out well man, contrats. The only thing I would suggest would be to add some gussetts to the lower mount just so it doesn't twist. Also what did you do to reinforce the rad support? I know the 3400 doesn't have the torque the 3800 does but with mine it twisted the rad support all the way to the fender supports even with angle iron welded and bolted in and that was on both sides. I am not really sure if that is going to effect you but just thought I would mention it. Congrats again and I'm sure you will enjoy the new found power.

1) I don't think you have enough pics.
2) That looks like a lot of extra weight
3) What is the fate of the superior motor?

nice work. what did you do as far as a computer to run it? you said you used hptuners so obv. OBDII. Beretta, grand am? something else? Good work. i woulda cleaned the motor up a lot more if i had it apart like that but whatever i guess i hope you used the felpro metal LIM gaskets too, the GM ones will die within a few years at best.....

again, congrats! it's a fun motor >: )

Outdated sig pic FTW!

All the top end gaskets are brand new. The LIM ones are felpro but there not metal. Never heard of those metal ones...


COMING SOON! VERY NICE!

Re: 3400 ENGINE SWAP COMPLETE

I was under the impression only Cometic made metal gaskets...

That looks like a huge snail. Good job! 3400 for the win!

I'm guessing that since he has both the lower torque mount and the upper, he probably won't run into the same problem you did. That actually gives him 3 separate mounting points aside from the tranny.

Actually, not much more weight from the V6, and for the increase in available power, a little extra weight is nothing.
How can you possibly say the 2.2 is better than the 3400?
