  • Biggest problems with 95 3.4 firebirds?

    Looking at picking up a 95 3.4 firebird for my 14 year old son. he will be taking drivers ed this fall and he has saved his money. told him id help and find him a car. after a year driving the v6 we will swap in a v8. car im looking at the motor is bad. lady says a bad valve and someone started working on it and never finished the job. getting it for a steal

    Get a 3.8. They get better gas mileage. Unless that steal is like $100, keep your money

        Will be looking for parts for this. looking for a good 3.4 for now and 98 taillights. will keep an eye out for a whole front clip to make it look like an LS car. will then be looking to do an LT1 swap later since i figure putting his 5.3 in this will be much more work

          i had a 95 3.4 5 speed for my first car. drove it for 2 1/2-3 years with pretty much no mechanical trouble... til i put a 100 shot on it and shot a rod out the oil pan

            Id go for it. I loved my 3.4 car. They are not the fastest but if its just reliable transportation your looking for it doesnt get much better for that price.

            IMO, if your swapping a V8...go with a 5.3. Its going to be just as much work.

              again its for my son who wont even be taking drivers ed til this fall so we have some time. putting the 5.3 in there will be just as much trouble?? then id definately go that route. figured he should learn to drive and such before we give him any power lol. it is a 5 speed car so i know ill have to do a tranny also when we do the v8
