Engine, with low mileage if possible

Post by Darkblitz9 »

I have a 95 3.1L and the engine is crapping out on me, if I cant figure out the issue then Im going to need a new one, I'm looking for another 3.1, OR a Quad 4 if it would match the engine mounts, if not then just the 3.1, Thanks

Quad won't match up to the mounts, and it won't work with your current harness or ECU. So you are better off to drop in another 3100 or go 3400.

Nice offer 1989 but the older MPFI won't work in an SFI (94 and newer) model again without modification to mounts and harness change and such.

It will not run properly... your missing the high resolution crank sensor and the SFI cam sensor. ECM will not be happy.

I put one in a 97 Malibu, like you said a few easy mods, sensors being swapped
out, and the intake from what I remember. But it didn't trip and codes, and ran fine

You put a MPFI motor into a 97 OBDII Malibu and didn't trip any codes? I find that REALLY hard to believe since the MPFI's use a three solenoid EGR valve and if you do not hook that up which OBDII does not support, then you will get a EGR code while driving.

Also talk about one hell of a downgrade... thats going from a 160hp motor to a 140hp one.

its 265... whopping 165 HP
265

The 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 was the first Chevrolet small block. Designed by Ed Cole's group at Chevrolet to provide a more powerful engine for the 1955 Corvette than the model's original "stove bolt" in-line six, the 165 hp (123 kW)[2] 2-barrel debut version went from drawings to production in just 15 weeks.

A pushrod cast-iron engine with hydraulic lifters, the small block was available with an optional 4-barrel Rochester carburetor, increasing engine output to 195 hp (145 kW). The oversquare (3.75 in (95 mm) bore, 3 in (76 mm) stroke) engine's 4.4 in (111.8 mm) bore spacing would continue in use for decades.

Also available in the Bel Air sedan, the basic passenger car version produced 162 hp (121 kW) with a 2-barrel carburetor. Upgraded to a four-barrel Rochester, dual exhaust "Power Pack" version, the engine was conservatively rated at 180 hp (134 kW).

A shortcoming of the 1955 265 was that the engine had no provision for oil filtration built into the block, instead relying on an add-on filter mounted on the thermostat housing. In spite of its novel green-sand foundry construction, the '55 block's lack of adequate oil filtration leaves it typically only desirable to period collectors.

The 1956 Corvette introduced three versions of this engine - 210 hp (157 kW) with a single 4-barrel carb, 225 hp (168 kW) with twin 4-barrels, and 240 hp (179 kW) with twin fours and a high-lift cam.

There was a 262 in the 70s... 110HP.

There was also another 263 from 94-96 that was 200 HP.
