Benifits of a 3500 top end swap?
Hey guys,
so i know i have a leak somewhere in my head gasket, very tiny leak... anyhow sometime in the next summer i was going to pull it all apart and get it all fixed up... then i cam accross the 3500 top end swap kit on milzy's page... for only 800$...
What are the benifits of this swap? if im gonna do it, should i spend the extra 1400$ or so to get her up to stage two?
or should i just keep my stock components?

its ok you have the nonvvt motor like i have you can get headers for the non vvt type like those heads are nonvvt so the headers will bolt up to them i think. but if they do it will breath more for you after the sawap. i have seen those heads and i dont know if the vvt and non vvt would work on mine because i have the flex fuil set up

Monte07, if you have an 06-07 V6 Monte, you have VVT, both the 3500, and 3900 V6 had VVT, there were no V6's in 06-07 offered without VVT in the Monte. Actually I think the 5.3L has VVT as well.
The older 3400 in the 00-05's as well as the 3800's did not have VVT.

Source: Swapped a 2001 Grand Am 3400 into a 1994 3100 Beretta. Played around with the idea of swapping a 3500 into my 1996 3100 Beretta next.
