3.4 is a direct bolt in swap. uses everything that 2.8 has
as for the 3.8, ive heard that finding a rwd one is like finding one of chevys v12s (they did make one lol)
there all fwd, which would need a new intake, mounts, tranny, and exhaust
if i could find one from a GNX for the right price id snatch it up, but i dont see that happening anytime soon

haha
i never really researched 3.8s much because all i could ever find was stuff about pontiac GTPs and buick rivieras. i still think id need new mounts and custom exhaust, which id like to avoid because i just got custom exhaust on mine. tranny im not sure, bellhousing could be different, not sure though. did the 3.8 come with the 700r4?

everyone does v8 in these. im looking for a 4x4 more than a fast car. the fact that i was stuck at home pretty much all winter because of the snow only made me want a 4x4 more

if i was doing a 4.3 i might as well stick a 5.7 in
4.3 would need new mounts and tranny, and would be the same work as swapping in a v8
