If I did a 700r4 i'd need an adapter. Therefore i'd need to know the type of TC I have. Which I don't...

I think I will go with the carbureted 3.4 swap. I hate the look of the TBI and looks are half the fun of building a truck/car. I found someone who did the setup that I listed above and they are getting 14 seconds or so on the 1320. I'd be happy with that since I am using it as a wheeler and not a dragster. What transmission would you guys recommend as a swap from my crappy piece of crap tranny? I hardly got up the smallest hill with it. I don't care if it is automatic or manual I have no preferences. I will be doing a dana 44 swap on the front and back and will be regearing them. What gearing do you guys recommend for the daily driver/weekend warrior type truck? I drive upwards of 90 miles a day alot of it is highway so i need gearing that will not destroy my fuel economy. and should i swap my TC?

Yeah there isn't much information on the swap when talking about performance. especially carbureted 3.4's. I was thinking bore it and maybe stroke it only if it doesn't put out the torque that i'd like. Optiions are limited here sadly... does anyone know what is behind the v6's on the comanche? were there multiple options for the transfer case? I know I have the auto 5 speed but am not sure what tranny that actually is. (I am a chevy guy can ya tell?)

Yeah the only problem is, (even though I am sixteen) I am pretty old school in that I want a carburetor and am pretty adamant about it. I am thinking about doing the following.. Get a 3.4 from a camaro 91-95. Upgrade the fuel and air flow going in with: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-3785/ With a 4 Barrel adaper: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-3789/ and putting this carb on top: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-0-8007/ And then doing a true cold air intake system in the form of a snorkel Then of course updating my airflow going out: exhaust headers (though I am not sure what to get. would the camaro headers they sell work with out trucks? something like this?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pacesetter-Headers-93-95-Camaro-3-4L-/190530167217 Then, since I will be using this truck to haul things with as well, an updated camshaft: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-253902/ Do any of you see any problems with doing any of these modifications? I think it would be a good start. Then I can do some machining and bore the cylinders out to get more power. All input is appreciated

What could I do to a 3.4 to make it better? and how could I upgrade the carb?

Hi, I just bought a comanche with a gm 2.8 liter v6. I live in an area with alot of steep hills and needless to say, I just can't drive it because of that. I HAVE to swap this crappy engine out for something better. So what are my options here? Does the 4.0 HO swap in easily? what about a 350 chevy swap? http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/xj_swap.htm there is some good information here on that kind of swap. Also, If i do the v8 swap, instead of stopping at the transmission, could I just use the entire drivetrain of the chevy setup (350, th350, np205, driveshaft, corporate 14 bolt)? Any help would be appreciated.
