Chevy Venture 3.4 swap in to Comanche that has 2.8 GM

[Steve F]

Guys, I know this topic has been covered but most speak about the 3.4 in the camero and are old posts.  Anyone know if I can drop a saddle and carb on a 3.4 out of a 2000’s gen 3 60 degree 3 and bolt up to my tranny?  From what I think that I understand it should bolt right up.

Might want to look into starter orientation. I think the biggest reason people prefer the Camarobird engine is there’s issues putting the front-wheel-drive engines in a rear-drive orientation. But I haven’t done the swap and don’t know what all is or isn’t a concern. I can imagine it’s getting harder to track down the older camarobird V6’s now though. Not exactly a desirable powertrain outside of some niche markets.

Some FWD GM engines had different bellhousing bolt patterns despite being the same engine also. Just something else to be sure of.
