Engine Swap

Anyone Ever Do A Swap From A 2.8 To A 3.4 Or 3.8? I Am Looking For A New Engine Since The 2.8 With 240 000 kms Is Running Rough And The Main bearings Are Gonna Pack It In.

I Know That A 2.8 To A 3.1 Is Possible.

I would put a 3.1 in it and forget obout it. Its a great engine and no modifications are needed. Just my 2 cents!! ;)

How upgradeable is the 3.1
Is there lots that can be modified?
is there a sueprcharger available for it??

Yeah the 3.1 is a good engine
not many probs with it

there is nothin like a good ol' 305. those things have a fair ammount of power for a small v8, and they run forever:bandit:

I have a 98 Cutlass (TCV)...

Current upgrades to engine 1998 3.1 3600 V6

*Supercharger*
*Turbo*
*Zex Nitrous System*
*Intake*
*Grounding Kit*
*upgraged Throttle body*
*MSD ignition system*
*Ported Intake*


Hope that answer your question about how upgradeable the 3.1 is.

:cool:

damn you have a supercharger and a turbo? how much did that cost

If you're gonna spend the time and money on a swap.. make it worth your time! Go from a 2.8 to a 3800 supercharged. There you will notice a difference. You won't really notice much of a difference going up to the 3.1. The 2.8 and 3.1 are almost the same engines.

A W-body specialist site makes a supercharger for the V-6 Grand Am, it'll fit ours, I'll work on getting a link.
