I have came across a supercharger for a 3400 like in a grand am. I have a 3.4 out of a camaro but people have told me i can not use the heads or intake from the newer 3400 on my 3.4 . Any input would be great and i know you guys love pics so here you go.

The lower intake sections are way different so they won't meet with the heads properly. The good news that part replaces the upper plenum and is to mate with the middle intake. You could probably make a set of adapter plates to go between that plenum and the middle runner of a Fiero intake very easily. Do you have any idea where there are more of those set-up? Is it an aftermarket company?

That's actually an upper plenium for a 3500 motor. Will still bolt up to a 3400 motor. The camaro and Grand Am both use 3.4L motors but are completely different. Camro has cast heads, while Grand Am has aluminum. If you try swaping over the top half of the motor the compression will be way off and probably alot of other unforseen mess. I have a complete 3400 from a 2001 Grand Am in my car and using an ECM from a 3.1L Cavalier with custom tuning. This is very unusual how it's set-up.Throttle body placement would need to be changed and I'd cap off the old T/B placement instead of the current set-up. I don't know if would rob air from the S/C or air would be pushed back up through it and back into the S/C.
If you could find someone that is good with aluminum Fabrication you could get that mated to the top of a Fiero 2.8 or a Camaro 3.4 intake.. making the connection between the two is a matter of welding.
Now getting it to not blow apart the engine, or fall apart.... that's different.
So yes, with that intake setup and a stock 3.4 intake and someone with welding skills, you cound get that mated to the top of your engine.
I have been looking at the idea of a 3.4 sc and without doing some parts matching, it looks like the easiest match-up for an Eaton style blower is to the Edelbrock Performer lower intake. It would take a plate being made up because the runners are offset, but, I think it would work.
You can adapt a throttle body on the back of it provided you can re-work the intake side of the supercharger. That would greatly simplify metering.
Looks like a cool opportunity.

Can you take a measurement? How high above the manifold does the charger sit? Also, you said you may be putting it up on ebay soon? May I ask how much? Let me know, either here or PM....

**** man dont sell it just yet...YOU CAN mate the 3400 upper with the 3.4 eng..my buddy just did and completed this in his 95 camaro...runs awsome!!!..the only thing you need is the 3400's pistons to retain acurate compression..it is very doable...on my friends camaro the 3400 lettering on the upper intake acually slightly rubbs the windshield/fierwall hangover...so i dont know if that SC would fit in a 3400 camaro...hmmmmmm...i tell him your selling it.......

do you know what it would take to make this blower work on the 2.8/3.1/3.4 PR motor?
I think this is your answer. I wish I would of known this when I had my 3.4 pushrod motor.
