If you dont gain more than 100hp with a swap, it really isnt worth it. Unless the engine you had before is clearly dying or the new engine is much more upgradable.

well.. these swaps are reletively easy, and 3400s are widely available... like patatoes.... I think 190 horsepower sounds better than 135.

#4, or torque?
the 3.4 would probably have better potential since it was in the grand am gt, and there are a few decent parts for it
cool car, sideskirts blow hard tho

#5, It does, but it doesnt seem worth going through the trouble of a swap. I dont know much about these engines, but that isnt much of an increase in my eyes.
#6, usually hp increase is equally proportionate to the torque increase

#7, not always with smaller engines, ex. honda 1.6 to integra 1.8 swap, you hardly gain any torque

#6, In response to your edit: ok, thats what Im saying. If there is more upgrade potential, then it is worth it. Like I said, I don't know jack about these engines.

3.1l v6 specs = 140 hp / 180 ft lbs
3400 v6 specs = 185 hp / 205 ft lbs
Torque, not a big gain... but hell.. i'd probably still do it with my car's engine having 281,000 kms (174,613 Miles). and 3400s sell for roughly $700 CAD ($500 USD)

those 3.8s are mofos to swap into a jbod though. because they are a wide engine. its not impossible (3.8 SC was swapped into a cav). but damn near close.

nope, 3.8s are bigger... i think they are a 90 degree engine... whereas the 2.8/3.1/3100/3400 were 60 degree engines.

I once raced a 3.1L sunbird (back when I owned a 2.4L powered king cab Nissan 4X2 truck)... guy was cutting people off and driving like a dick. I ended up behind him at one light when it turned green he took off fast again. I took off too and got in the other lane and managed to slowly pass him.
I ended up next to him at the next stoplight and we both took off. I got a better launch with my 5-spd (he was probably an automatic) and I ever so slowly pulled on the guy again. He was really pissed and pretended he was going to rear end me when I went to make my turn.
I was kinda suprised since I only had ~132hp versus his 140 - musta been the 5spd versus an automatic. I was expecting to get beat since I barely squeezed out a win over a gangsta-wannabe in a early 90s Olds Cutlass 3.1L a few months before.

the automatic in a 3.1l is only a 3 speed. so i wouldnt doubt you beat him. I now have a 5-speed 3.1l cavy. theres a big difference in acceleration.

This is a very sharp looking car, I'd happily sport it. I hate FWD GMs, especially J-bodies, so you know that's a huge compliment coming from me.
