    Nevermind. I'm going to build up the 3.4 on my own. I want to start with a cold air intake, then a decent cat-back exhaust, and I'll dig into the motor later on. I'm afraid I might screw something up, so I'm going to put that off until the last possible minute. That and I can't be without a car for more than 2 days at a time, so that restricts the things I can do to it. Thanks to everyone for their help so far!

        Nevermind, I know all of you would have loved to see me drop a V8 into my car, but my ******* neighbors reported me to the police for having the Buick unlicensed, so I have 2 days to get rid of it before the city has it towed. It's probably going to end up in a junkyard, because I don't have a cherry picker to take out the engine, so my dream has been squashed and pissed on once again by my pompous neighbors. I'm starting a thread to sell the Buick.

          Nick, can the car be towed? My dad lives out in the country and the owner of the house is really cool. He has all kind of junk cars lying around. I'm sure if we could make it appealing for him to keep it, we could part it out there. The man is a mechanical genius and has all sorts of industrial tools and farm equipment. I'f your interested towing it out there for enough time to get that motor out we could probably work something out! Get back to me ASAP!!

            Yeah try to find a place to keep it until you part it out, it'll also be a good kick in the ass to get the project started.

              Thankz for the information. I am in the same spot as Nick. I won't to beef up I V-6. The thread Brain put up had some good infor in it. I am going to go to the junkyark and buy a good 3.4 V6 out of a 99 or newer Grand Am GT or somthing and use all you the parts of it and bolt them to my maro. I am also going to rebuilt my six in about a month or so.

                Well, Ben found a junkyard that will take the engine and trans out of my car for me, and i am giving them the rest of the Buick, and my '76 Datsun 280Z as a trade for it. I am going to need the wiring harness and PCM for it, but I think you guys will help me find the remaining parts. . . lol
