Hey guys and gals, first off i would like to say wow, does the 4th gen sec. ever have alot of stickies. i posted a thread in the 2nd gen sec. before (full of useful info) and even asked to sticky it (even others suggested it should be stickied) so i don't have to keep searching for it for others to see. The only info sticky we have in the 2nd gen sec. is a link to the NastyZ28 site.

Anyways, enough with that rant lol (sorry). I never been to fond of the 4th gen but lately i have been getting more attached to them. There is a 94 with a 3.4L for sale near me for $1100 OBO, it has 325000km on it. Now my question is, Can i drop a 350 SBC (carbed, pre 86) into it? Has anyone done this? what would i need to do to make this work?

Thanks for any info

Joe

 

You can do it but it's cheaper to buy a z28 and keep the engine in it. You'll have filter fitment problem and alot of body control problems. With the 3.4l swap you'd need the v8 k member, suspension, tranny and a drive shaft to be fitted. You'd need a new fuel system. And alot of time to deal with getting any power controls to work. If you do it keep us updated as I want to do it but don't want to try figuiring out all the problems.

 

its been done. not easy or cheap but can be done. like 3800 sayin, better off just picking up a z28.

 

Z28 all the way

 

Also dont forget about where the dizzy will be located... under the dash!

Now putting a 4th gen engine in the 2nd gen cars is a very doable thing with little extra mods.

Same here.

 

Same. .

 

There is a sticky in the V6 section V8-V6 swap. In that thread there is a link to one member who has completed the swap. I'll save you some time. I tried to warn the Poster about the cross member he went about it the hard way. If you get a Lt1 K member it can be modified. You can also buy a already made Kmember. The problem is no other parts are out there. You have to make the entire wiring harness and a lot of brackets to make it work.

Good Luck,,,

If you like the 4th gen but your on the cheap you might want to look at the 96+ 3800. 3800/5 speed is not a boring car to drive and can be had under 2K. If you don't mine the wrench time you can pick one up with a bad motor for $500-700 and pick up a low miles 3800 from a FWD car for $500 and be good to go for a 100,000 miles. 230 HP with some boltons aint bad.
