I did spray some PB blaster but wasn’t 10 minutes after that. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about these hardly having heads blow. My Intake gasket is what it was I’m pretty sure but I guess I decided to go further. It’s a 2000 bonneville l36 series iiSat, 05 Sep 2026 21:58:31 +0000I have been passed down a 1992 Cutlass Supreme from my father in law. The car has 80K miles and runs like a champ, however it has a bunch of small issues on the interior and window gaskets that are keeping it from standing out. He is nearing 90 and I am trying to clean it up for him before he passes to let him ride in it again. He bought it when he retired and it has sat in his garage for about 10 years. I need a few parts so I hope that this community might be able to point me in the right direction.Sat, 05 Sep 2026 19:43:11 +0000Yea, after 7 dead 65e’s in multiple different w bodies i was kinda sick of it. Not to mention the 6t70 had 2 extra gears to play with. If it wasn't for the horrible 2.44 fd in the impala transmission it really would've been pretty wicked. Unfortunately ended up getting rid of the car a while ago due to rot. Current owner still has it but it only gets driven for track events. Id like to build another someday with an 06/07 shell and 3.16/3.39 6t out of an suv. Would be much better acceleration/fun wise and the 6t’s OD is still long enough to be perfectly fine on the highway. why didn't i just slap an ls4 in? because everyone either just slaps an ls4 in or an l67. The 6t/ls4 wasn't figured out yet, the ls4 is an absolute pain to work on in that engine bay, and it also just wasn't my taste. I could've done an ls4, at the time we had 2 of them sitting around in donor cars at the yard. I didn't want to lol.Fri, 04 Sep 2026 22:24:48 +0000I have a boot for these cars, I think it's called charcoal. It has a bluish tint to it good condition. Anyone interested?Sat, 29 Aug 2026 16:16:54 +0000That’s a pretty sweet find, especially being the second owner with only 70k on it. The interior looks like it’s held up really well too. Funny how that kind of thing matters more than flashy extras sometimes, same with online stuff. On a casino like https://tropical-casino.com/ Tropical Casino, a clean slot layout, a decent bonus screen or a small win animation can make the whole thing feel better without doing too much. Welcome to the forum, curious to see what you end up doing with it and whether you keep it mostly stock or start changing things.Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:34:19 +0000Nice to see another Z34 being kept alive. If you’re new to working on cars, I’d focus on getting a solid maintenance baseline before changing anything: fluids, belts, hoses, grounds, and any old or brittle wiring/connectors. Since you’re already into the brakes, I’d check the rubber hoses and hard lines closely too. And if you don’t know when the timing belt was last done on the 3.4 DOHC, that’s definitely something I’d put on the list. Take plenty of photos before unplugging things and tackle one issue at a time. Makes troubleshooting a lot less painful.Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:33:19 +0000Quad 4 Getrag 282 for W-BodyThu, 27 Aug 2026 16:12:50 +0000Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:09:41 +0000IMG_4560.MOVThu, 27 Aug 2026 15:53:24 +0000Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:53:09 +00001227727 and 1227730 use the same chips. One is waterproof and used in W bodies and Corvettes. 1990 is the only year to use $88 code mask. 88-89 are $6D. 91-92 is $A1. 93 is $DF. Thats for the 3.1 V6. The most common with all the data code layed out is $A1. I would use A1 to start and modify from there (because I have been tuning these for over 20 years and can do this).Tue, 25 Aug 2026 12:23:55 +0000I mean assuming the intakes are off a compatible w car you could gain maybe a tiny bit from the larger later intakes, I think a 2000 would still have the old 3100 manifolds. but its not enough of a gain that i'd waste my time. Go get the rest of the 3400 and you are looking at some gains, but i'd still be questioning of the journey is worth the destination.Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:42:29 +0000Sun, 23 Aug 2026 15:08:36 +0000So basically what you are telling me is the whole top end swap thing is a waste of time I appreciate you telling me there is no need to swap it all of it's all the same Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:46:15 +0000Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:49:38 +0000I'd argue that its thin enough at this point that the only groups I seem to see having success are groups that seem to celebrate all things GM FWD of the eraThu, 13 Aug 2026 15:41:25 +0000I'm not entirely sure there wqould be enough people in that area for a meet, however I can advise that there is a local ontario GM FWD group. If you're on facebook the group is here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1LqncxNtTx/ They happen to be having a meet this weekend in Milton. There is a mix of berettas, cavaliers, w-body, etc.Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:26:35 +0000Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:24:11 +0000Has anyone considered doing a meet up show and shine of the Cutlass crew maybe like in Buffalo or somewhere close to the border for us Canadians like the fourth area down that way if anyone’s interested before those fall takes our cars off the road let’s get together. See if anyone’s interested. Let me know.Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:34:06 +0000Thanks fir confirming this, because I always noticed the same thing.Wed, 12 Aug 2026 01:42:50 +0000Adding some pictures because it is a very rare and very fascinating setup. Lots of pics of the engine bay exist, but Ive never found any of the engine assembly on the subframe. Enjoy!Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:12:04 +0000Sun, 09 Aug 2026 14:28:42 +0000I have a 2000 Buick century limited with the 3.1 I bought 3.4 upper and lower intake and head's to put on it is it worth the swapSat, 08 Aug 2026 21:10:45 +0000Holy Hell...how did I miss this!!!! This is pretty incredible and so glad I finally found this thread. I am here for any help.Sat, 08 Aug 2026 21:02:49 +0000Fri, 07 Aug 2026 22:27:54 +0000
