Hello i just bought a 1996 Monte Carlo and the owner stated it is a Z34. I don't believe him. Does any one know if the 1996 z34 came with a 3.1L motor?

 

Good morning,
I just bought a 1996 Monte Carlo. The previous owner stated its a Z34, Does anyone know if the Z34 came with a 3.1L and not the 3.4?

 

Typically the Z-34 in 96 had a 3.4 motor, it was overhead cam engine. This car should have a dual exhaust also. The Bowties on the Front and rear will have a Red surround, and the Z-34 badge would be on the Rear panel. Check the photo's I attached.

 

Thank you drivernumber3 My car does have the duel exhaust but the motor is 3.1L. Last owner did a lot of modifications to the car like paint over a lot of the logo's and add Z34 all over the outside of the car. Its a mess let me tell you. Is there any other features that would stick out to make it a Z34. Example back seat. the one i have has a 3 seats in the back.

 

It's just a mimic, they would only have the 3400 DOHC engine.

 

Thank you so much for the info now i can start taking the aftermarket junk off the car, and make it look like the LS that it is suppose to look like

 

Well not sure about he 3 seats, you can seat three people in the back if you need to. My son had a Monte that he had all the seats occupied, mostly Girls all the time. The photo I have included is the back seat after I took it out and it's sitting in my Garage.

When you can share some photo's, you can also add some photo's in the Photo Gallery too.
Also a great source for parts will be the Salvage yard sometimes a U-pull it yard close by.

 

Yep thats what mine look like well sort of yours are way nicer then mine

 

These are my backup set, but they are in good condition. I got them from a U-pull it yard.
One thing I found out is that if you take a set of back seats from a 95 and put them in a 99 the mounting is different.
The original seats were cloth and they didn't hold up very well So I am replacing all of the interior components to the Dark Grey I recently order new molded carpet for it and that will be my next project.

 

Thank you all that replied to the question I had on the Z34. It was all very helpful.
