3.4 and V-8s have a different bolt pattern, so no it will not fit. I don't think they ever put a Th350 behind a 2.8/3.1/3.4 motor. Doing anything but stock is tuff in a 4th gen.

LOL anything is possible as long as you rub the motor with 100 dollar bills. In your case about 30K worth of rubbing. Everything custom made. You could do it with a LSX V8 car for about 20K

Switch to another size V6 is very costly and a lot of work. With these cars everything is packed in real tight. So almost everything is designed for that car with that motor in it. you can not just stick another V6 in it. Even going to a 3.8 from a 3.4 is a huge pain.

What I call the 3.8 is a 3800 II. It is a GM engine put in some 95's and all 96+ V-6s. It comes from the factory with 200 HP at the crank. Click on the link in my below sig and you will see some info about the 3.8. If you want to play around an learn about cars get a 3 gen camaro (82-92) they can be found dirt cheap and they can be configured just about anyway you want.

Old cars you could pull a big block out of a truck and stick in a camaro. With the new cars the computer controls everything. You can not just cut the computer out. The cars themselfs are not designed to have a carb or a distributer. Step one when changing to a different motor is getting a subframe that will fit that motor. If GM never made a Camaro with that motor you would need to find whatever was close and make what you need. Then there is the computer system. If you put a none standard motor in one of these car you going to have to build a computer system for it. these cars are not a good place to learn. Also instead of asking questions right off maybe you should look at old posts. Many of your questions you have or will have, have already been answered in detail.
