Wonder what the total cost of that would be and the outcome of performance.
Have you wonder if going this route is going to be worth the cost.
I know its not cheap but swapping from a 3.4 to a 3.8 N/A or even 3.8 Supercharged will result in getting the most performance for the buck.
I don't know what it takes to do so, but there are a few here who have done so, some how have not but can pretty much give you a better idea.
Good luck

$3,314.99 for a 3.8l supercharged

and for the parts for the motor and exhaust is $4,610.95,i have 67,000 miles on my ls motor so it would be around the same miles if i buy a swap one

Is that a brand new one, an l67 and a tranny can be found from anywhere between 1k-2k.

Yeesh, that's a $3k+ parts list.
Not many people would be bold enough to drop that kind of dough on a 3400.
Best of luck though, I'm curious to see what kind of times come out of a heads/cam 3400 car though.
