Ok, well I wasn't sure cause we always do that swap with S-10's and we have to change the intake and use a throttle body so I wasn't aware of the different fuel rails. Good to know though in case I ever pick up another 2.8 or 3.1L camaro.

The 3.4L uses 17 lb injectors whereas the 2.8 uses 15lb or maybe 13lb ( i think) and it would cause it to run rich, Possibly dropping a Code 45, however I believe that an Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator from the 305's fits 60* V6's so you could dial it in



Could you keep posting more pics?

I just bored out the intake to make it match a 4.3L's intake bore but that was with TBI, a regulator would be a much easier option.

ah yes, the old GTT Trans Ams. think Buick GNX engine in a 3rd gen Trans Am. they were discontinued because they regularly were beating up Corvette's, and GM didn't really like that too much
