1998 Z34 3.8 what engine can I swap this out with???
Hi guys and thanks in advance for your help. I have a 98 Z34 that is totally stock and Street but it has a blown engine. I can’t find a Z34 Engine that I can afford that would like to buy a cheap car that has a 3.8 L V-6 in it that I can put in my MC. What vehicles year etc. should I be looking at? Thanks for your help

Pontiac had the 3.8 v6 as well as Chevy. Impala, and check the Pontiac. You may not want to go much over the 99 or 2K many of the others would have more computer stuff. Check craigs list too.

Just out of curiosity, what about a 3.1 liter 3100 V6 which came in the Monte Carlo LS? Would that be an easier swap than a later 3.8 liter? Probably no one else in America ever put one in a Z34, but those engines are probably easy to find since they made so many in the 90s and it would be unique.

No doubt it's a common engine in junkyards, but the 3800 series 2 should be right up there in terms of ease to find in a junkyard.
