3400SFI Chevy Venture Engine Cover on 3100 Monte?
Hello!
I recently saw that some of the Chevy Venture Van's have 3400's that have pretty nice, simple engine covers. I am wondering if one of their engine covers will fit on the 3100 in my monte, and if I'd need a crazy oil filler tube or whatever like the 3800.
Hopefully I don't need a thing except for the cover, as I have found a couple on ebay, pretty cheap.
Normally I hate adding more crap to an engine bay, especially anything plastic, but I hate seeing how corroded my UIM is, and this simple, clean cover would cover up all that corrosion, and (afaik) would be a very unique addition (never saw one on a monte before).
If it does fit, I'll buy one and then somehow try to grind down or do something to the 3400 lettering.

I was at a U pull it yard the other day and there were several there kool thing is you could take it to the engine like yours and test fit the thing? Just a thought.

I think I might do just that, next time i'm at the junkyard, and heck, while I'm there, I could just buy it if it works.
Sometimes I don't see things that are right in front of my face lol
Either way I'll report my findings next time I go!
