Im suprised how hard it was to find one of these motors. But after looking for a while this guy had one on ebay for $750 with all the engine accessories. He owns a junk yard and the grand am GT is going to be ther when i pick it up so ill get whatever else i need ill get when i pick it up. Its 6 hours away which sucks but its a good deal. Cant wait to get started!!!

Engine, harness, ECM to start with, also get the dual cooling fans if you can
if the GAGT has leather seats, might want to snag those as well.. they almost are bolt-in on J's... just a side thought

Do you know if anyone has come up with some good wiring diagrams yet? I go to wyotech its an automotive school and i got alot already from mitchel on deamand but has anyone actually drawn their own for the splices and what not?

Heh.... mine looks like more of a hack job than anything, for the longest time the wiring was NASTY. I've got only some of it out of the loom right now cuz I need to still connect more wires. Also need to get me a 3 wire CTS.
750 is a lot for that engine though. Should have been able to get one for less than 400. The engine comes from a lot of stuff like minivans and such. They're readily available.
(Note: I got mine with all the accessories for 400. You may want to consider changing them if you question their functionality. My stuff got changed a lot, the alternator only worked for one trip, then gave out)
Also, change all the gaskets and seals if you got the time. ESPECIALLY the intake manifold gaskets.
^^ depends on the region of the country... cheapest I could get was 1200 for a low mileage engine.

I have a link to all the 3400 ones in the sticky
When you replace the lower manifold gaskets, use the metal kit that felpro makes.
Sweet thanks alot guys. Im going to pick it up in 2 weeks. My dad is coming up to PA and him and I are then driving to Indiana to share the trip. Im excited!!! See im taking a high performance power trains class in 3 months at wyotech and i want to have this done so i can dyno it and what not. If i dont have it done ill just finish it in that class anyway.

Yeah I went to the junkyard a few days ago to get a 56mm throttle body from a quad four, and I don't recall seeing ANY 3400s. 3100s as far as you can see though. Must have put that engine in dam near every front wheel drive other than some of the bigger cars that come with the 3800.
The 3100 swap would be the same. I would only reccomend doing the 2000+ 3100 for the power. It'll look the same as the 3400 does. You'll be down a bit on power, but not by much.
Got the 3400 this weekend wow I got everything with it you name it... Breaking it down tomorrow. Me and 2 of my buddies tried lifting it up into my apartment hahahaha NO WAY. B**** weighs like 67000000lbs lol. So its sitting on the street right now between my cars LOL pics to come...

Good luck with it man. What are your plans for it? Stock install? Bolt-ons? Hope you have it up and running soon!
Im planning on just putting it in as is right now and doing a rebuild in my next class here at Wyotech. Port the heads and clean her up. Just want to get it running asap.
