Must be a full moon 'cause this hasn't come up for a while!

YES it will fit!

No You won't want to do it!

And if you have to ask it's WAY too hard!

Next!

[gtzfreak420]

Well them I'm goin to do it cuz it is goin to be worth it cuz this motor is a beast

Good luck! Better know how to weld and be able to strengthen the doghouse, etc. Not to mention some space fabrication, transmission alignments, special made axles, etc, cause you are going to need it. But it will fit. Barely.

Probably easiest to raid the parts from a '93 Grand Am 3300 if you're really set on doing this.

I Can weld so that's no problem and not to worried about gettin parts to work on it once I get started on this project I'm determined to get it done my beretta needs a good motor in it cuz the one that's in it keeps over heatin for no reason I have had shops look at it and they don't know why so ill just put the 3800 in it and work on the 3.1 that is in it rite now

Go for it!

That motor is a damn boat anchor!

your better off doin more of a direct swap of 3500 or 3400 and save yourself time and money as their is many documents supporting them and many have done the 3800 swap wouldnt do it again

[gtzfreak420]

No the motor is not a boat anchor it gets up an goes its beast trust me its goin to be worth it I have already started I got both motors out and I'm modifing the engine bay now so it may be done soon so ill let u guys know when I'm done which will be very soon

It makes less power than a 3400 and the same as a 3100. Why would you ever do the extra work for less power?

^^^WELL SAID^^^

It always befuddles me when someone comes on here looking for advice, then totally ignores the comments of the folks who actually know what they're talking about, and actually have the best running cars.

Poor GTZ. Irreparably butchered for an antiquated piece of junk that is heavier and makes less power than readily available engines that will pretty well drop right in.

It certainly would never be considered a Performance Mod.

But it's your car I suppose.
