3400 5 speed and S/C GA vids

[ShortysTRM]

Ho Leigh Sheet. Check out these videos...2 are in-car of a Sunfire with a 3400 swap with a 5-speed (how nice it must be...) and 2 are of a S/C Grand Am, one vs. another s/c GA and one vs. a stock GA...these videos are not mine, but they are pretty sweet. Enjoy!! :popcorn:

Vortech Owns!!!

Ohh and why the &*$% would you film the speedometer if you were doing a burnout, idiots <_<

[jabartram]

Good point Stealth? same question here?

[ShortysTRM]

Duh...it's a female filming, why else?? lol

[Sportalero]

I'm surprised no one chimed in on this. FIVE SPEED 3400?? Is there any more story behind this car?

[ShortysTRM]

well, I posted this from school and by the time I got home, the bastard took it down....can anyone send me or host that 3400 swap video??

[quitlahok]

there are a few guys on the j-body forums swapping in 3400s with the muncie 282 transmission. apparently it bolts right up. i imagine you need a few custom fabbed parts, but it shouldn't be overly difficult for our cars too, just expensive.

[ShortysTRM]

I got it from grandamgt.com, in the performance section under something like 3400 5 speed sound or something. He explains it all there, though it is in very simple terms that make it sound overly easy.

[ShortysTRM]

well, now I can download it again...weird. But anyways, to further the mystery of why they filmed the speedometer doesn't work. :wacko:

I can't. Upload them somewhere else if you could. Or let me know and I'll let you put them on my FTP.

got that backwards.
parts wont be much really (less than 1500)
but tons of custom fab to be involved. torque mounts and custom half shafts are only the begining.
but it will be done. its only a matter of time

[Sportalero]

^^Are you saying it would be just AS expensive as it was for the Sunfire, or it will be MORE expensive for the Alero?

[quitlahok]

i imagine the sunfire was cheaper as they didn't have to change the transmission, half shafts, or any of the transmission related mounts. all they really have to do is make mounts for the 3400, bolt it in, and wire it up (not exactly, but you get the drift). we're kind of working in the other direction.

[Blackrider]

It wouldent be overly hard to do this in a GA, just mounts and t he computer, DHP would be able to do it. Its really just mounts and linkage.

the sunfire did not come stock with a getreg/muncie 282
so they had to plant in the trans and the engine
wiring for a manual is easier than changing the engine wiring and computer over to get the sunfire to accept the V6.
the swap would be easier for us.
mount the pedals, make mounts, custom half shafts, some wiring, auto trans code delete, and reprogram the speedo.

[quitlahok]

so what do you think the costs on this would be? i was thinking depending on the half shafts and getting a decent price on the tranny, pedals, and shifter, it could probably be done in the $3000 range including machining costs and a reprogram.

you're right there, i wasn't paying attention to my own typing.. it was the beretta that had it stock i think.

LOL. Not every female files like sh#@. My fiance and I make motocross films- I sit on the back of my ATV and he drives while I film. It's high quality stuff :P

Excuse me "films" like sh%#, not "files". I think I have been staring at the computer too long...

[alerochick242]

I want a 5 speed... :wah:

[BLK03GXS]

I gots one :D Bwahahahahaha

[ShortysTRM]

yeah, i want a 5 speed, too...and that was definitely a joke, because my fiance films (files) for me sometimes, too. Sorry if it offended you though :)

[1WhiteOSV]

About filming the speedometer that DOESN'T work...... :drink:

[2000NavyAleroGLS]

Really. Why film the speedometer. What you see on the outside is what matters.

[keytonic]

I know a guy that works with machinery and converts all of the trucks they have from auto to manual. He's gonna convert mine this summer. I have a question though.
edit: Nevermind dumb question answered it myself :unsure:

Nah, you didn't offend me at all- I thought it was funny! :lol:

[Silverknight]

I have a 5 speed......but I want a 3400 engine to go with it.. :(

[3.4 Euro Alero]

I would die to have a 5 speed in my 3.4. Good way to keep my wife from driving it as well!
