NORBI Posted November 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Thanks a lot guys, i always wanted to post my pictures of my cars but never could find a good web host that would do it for free but thanks to ismellrealbad. Thanks a lot. And about the Northstar thing, wasnt the 3.4 DOHC one of the 1st generations of Northstar before it even bacame a v8 Northstar, i thought i would do that because it had to do some with Northstar technology, and guess what a lot of people actually believed that it was a real Northstar enigne and they told me that it must be very powerful. :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Ummmm, no, the 3.4 DOHC is a 60-degree iron block based on the 60-degree Chevy pushrod engine. The 4.6L Northstar is an all-aluminum 90-degree V8 block! There is no trace of the 3.4 DOHC anywhere on the Northstar. The only similarity is the DOHC configuration. Sure would be nice to be able to cram a Northstar into a first gen W though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted November 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 I read at the http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/34Performance/ that 3.4 DOHC was right before the Northstar. Quote: The 3.4 was concepted as a V6 version of the Olds 2.3L "quad 4". The quad motor went into production in 1988, and that also marked the start of the V6 design program. The 3.4L DOHC was actually the forerunner of many current motors. The Cadillac Northstar 4.6L 32 Valve V8, and later the Aroura 4.0L 32-Valve V8, were sons of the V6 program. Now we have expanded into the 3.5L V6 and to a degree, the OHC Truck V8 small-block. Most of us wouldnt put that as important, but the lessons learned on the Quad 4 went into improvements for the 3.4 V6, and subsequently, the Northstar and Aroura.

GnatGoSplat Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Yeah, but they share virtually no similarities. That info posted by "JJ" seems nothing more than rumors and speculation than actual fact. Anyone who knows the inner workings of the 3.4 DOHC would probably agree, so I would take anything "JJ" says with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
