3800 series II
What am I getting myself into if I take a 3100 out of a 1994 grand prix
and put a 3800 series II engine?

Re: 3800 series II
It is going to be a major swap. You will need to swap the motor, trans, maybe subframe, wiring harness, pcm, fab fuel lines, coolant lines, and probably AC lines. Not to mention the wiring you are going to have to figure out what wires do what and make lots of splices.
btay801, the 3800 and all GM V block motors have issues with Lower Intake Gaskets leaking. GM is laying the blame on dex cool as the fault for the blown gaskets. However the real issue is in fact the horrible shoddy design of GM gaskets. Seems as though the are actually made to blow. See this thread... http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=958284
