    Hey all..

    Like the title says I'm turning my GP sedan into a sleeper.

    Starting with a 3400 top end swap and other minor performance mods while upgrading the looks at the same time.

    I'm from Minnesota so the road-salt has done some weight reduction that was unwanted, just something else to fix.

    Hello.

    So you are a GTX but want to do a 3400 swap?

    Or are you a 3.1 SE with the wants to swap a 3400 top over???

    It's badged a GTX.. Dissapointed when I looked at the car..

    Motor had been swapped because of a 'bad knock' according to the original R.O..

    Currently has the 3100 apparently out of a Lumina.. I've bought a 3400 LI & TB from a Monte Carlo, & 3100 UI from a '03 Malibu (so it says 3100)..

    From there not really sure to go after.. Always open to suggestions..

    I know the GTX emblems are an insult to everyone else since mine has only the 3100..

    Soon enough though she'll be worthy of the name.. LoL..

    Ohhhhhhhh....I thought you were saying its a GTX that the PO removed the 3800 s/c motor and dropped in a 3100. So its an SE with a GTX badge and GT side skirts.
