Harness can be made to work, but the bellhousing on the trans is different, so no it won't bolt up as-is.

That's where you're wrong! Yes, all Quad 4 Beretta's are 5 speeds, but they did make plenty of V6 powered 2.8/3.1 5 speeds as well from 87-93 in the Base, GT, GTU, and Indy models! There is no factory GTZ or Z26 V6 5 Speed cars...

To put a V6 5 speed into a Quad 4 5 speed, should be the same! Why are you putting a 3.1 and 5 speed from a Sunbird into a RARE Quad Z26, that's really stupid! You're going to go from 180hp down to 140hp! LAME!

the motor is shot and i dont think that this car is relly rare..i dont think were talking bout the same one this is a purple one.. n my 3.1 has a little more than 140 prolly maybe 155 or 160 now with the pluges wires wai 2.5 exoust and others my unkle did to it b4 i got it 2 yr ago... n plus next winter a 3400 will be lowerd into it and the trans should bolt up to that if im not mistaken

Yes, we are talking about the same car! It's Speedy's Black Rose Metallic (Purple) 1994 Quad 4 Z26, it's one of 896 Quad 4 Z26's ever made, so yes it's VERY RARE! I should know, I have one... lol
Also plugs and wires don't add any HP! You'd be lucky to add 10hp with intake and exhaust to a 3.1, even if it's brand new. lol
Yes, a 3400 will bolt up to a 3.1 V6 5 speeds trans.
