Do you have a U-pull it yard around you? Even with the intake that $50 worth of parts. If you do not upgrade your stock heads your above mods will net you about 20HP. As I said the CAM may reduce your power. Your heads in their stock form are holding you back right now. Making everything else better will not give you much. It like going from 2.5" exhaust to a 3" exhaust on a car with stock manifold and cat. Sure you may hear a change but your car will be no faster for it.

This is where the research part comes in. If you have a nice day I would grab everything heads up. You have to take it all off anyway. Last time I was at mine I saw a LT1 with the wring harness and FI system. They would let me have the whole thing for $135

I was going to get it for my 68 pickup project. All that came to a stop cause I moved. The 68 is gone and I do not has any use for it.
Sorry I did not mean to take your thread off topic. I was just trying to show you that junkyard motors that are sold as is are normally cheap. You just need to look around.

oh its fine i mean i have a place similar to u pull it. They only want 70 bux for a motor but the motors there have been stripped soo much its not even worth it. Much less finding a wiring harness

hey don't mean to hijack your thread or anything, but I'm looking at starting a 3.4 build this summer. I plan on doing a top swap, which shouldn't be too difficult since the engine's already out. Which fwd GM cars have the aluminum heads/intake manifold that I would need/want?

Any GM W body car with a 3400 to 3600 transverse engine.
One word of caution, if you succeed in making a lot of power with a 3400 do not expect for it stay together for long. Went that route with my son's car. Broke a piston, normally aspirated; wiped out main bearings at high RPM due to oil starvation; broke crank running a turbo at 16 PSI. Engine was in a Gran Prix with auto transmission & was running in low 14s @ 96 to 99 MPH, normally aspirated. With the turbo it developed 280 Front Wheel HP.
