i have a 91' 3.1 5-speed

my friend said he can swap the 3.1 for a 3400 for free for me and he knows what he is doing - i just want to confirm everything
what parts do i save from the 3.1 and is there any other custom things or anything else im gonna need to buy to do this swap?
ive looked at 3400swap.com but i only saw instructions for the 3100 ---> 3400
sorry if this is a repeat but i cant find anything on it and hes going to be doing it soon

trying to find out everything i need to know real quick before he does this - and also so i know what to have so he has it available while swapping

thanks.

Well it's not exactly as easy as the 3100-3400 swap because those two engine are pretty much the same just different sizes. The 3.1MPFI is a lot different from the 3400 so you'll need to do a lot more stuff. I think you need custom motor mounts and then you need other stuff.  Might as well put a 3800 in if your going to have all this work done.

use your 3.1 mounts/ accessories/ brackets, you will need a custom front engine mount, 3100 coolant pipes from a 94-95, Throttle cable from a 95 Beretta 3100. and 3100 beretta throttle body linkage.

throttle cable from a 94 2.2 Cavy will work as well.

so is that pretty much everything i will need because i have limited money and dont know what to do - this motor is old and it needs a bad tune up - and the kid who was gonna put it in leaves for school in a month - so if im gonna do this swap i need to get the engine in a month or less time
i have money to get the engine but then ill only have like 2 hundred left for other parts i might need - does anyone think i can do this with the money - if worse comes to worse i can probably squeez a few dollars out of my parents to help

Financially you are cutting it pretty close.

You are going to need all sorts of little stuff.

Oil, filter, a belt, there are a couple of sensor issues, the parts Steph outlined, and you can always count on at least $100 for things you would never think of.

Might be a good time to replace the clutch.

But good luck.

You will be very happy when it's done.

Fuel line adaptation. Try some '96 3100 fuel injectors.
Don't forget to put a new lower intake vallie gasket ÂÂÂ


I say your looking at a minumum of $250 more for parts.

Good luck with the mount, you either make it yourself, put on a 3x00 style or pay an arm and a leg from jbodyperformance.com.

I might be making a mount in the future, Boner needs one for his swap.

I would probably buy one off ya.  That's if you make some x-tras.

Well Im buying a 93 GT with the 3.1MPI Soon and since were on the subject of swapping a 3800... How about a series 2 3800? From a 97 Bonneville... Does anyone here know anyone whos done the swap? Mabey put me in touch with them?

its not fun, all new mounts are required.  there should be some info on the board somewhere, try a search.  I think there are only 3 finished swaps on this board.  Ones a SIII and is in progress to be turboed.
