Thats amazing because all I have heard about them are unreliability issues (after I bought mine and then with what happend to it). Some people say because it was originally the 2.8 then bored out so far to a 3.4, I don’t really know, all I do know is I didn’t have it for very long, then it started having issues, and it just progressed, and before I knew it I was LITERALLY getting TEN miles to the gallon, went and got it diagnoses and they basically told me it needed another engine so I sold it and thankfully didn’t take much of a loss. I would personally never buy a 3.4 again, in any car. ---

3.4’s run good and pretty long…from what I hear some have issues with intake gaskets. If you want a cheap swap I would say LT1…great bang for your buck motor. Or maybe you can find a 3.8 L36…or a L67 might be a interesting setup. ---

Or maybe you can find a 3.8 L36…or a L67 might be a interesting setup. I do want cheap, but it seems that even an LT1 swap would be out of the question for me right now. I just have too many projects going on, and never enough money to fund all of them.☹ At the point that the car sits right now, with the replacment harness, I have $525.00 into it. I hoping to find a decent 3.4 replacement in the $450.00 to $600.00 range, and I would have less than $1200.00 bucks into it. Then everything from there becomes cosmetic, as far as spending more money on it. ---

I tend to agree, but in my current situation, coming up with a few hundred here, and few more there, is much easier than the 2-3K they seem to be asking for a decent running 93-95 4th gen. ---

You have spent some good money after bad though. I understand wanting the car to run NOW, but sometimes that impatience ends up costing you money in the end. And I think that is some of your spending. Your other spending has been the 15 sets of wheels.:finger: And after that it’s just upgrades, like the fiberglass hood, you really cant count that against the total of the car, because that money wasn’t spent to get it running, it was spent because you wanted it. And hell there is nothing wrong with that. ---
