Hey Orief, That looks cool. I was surprised by the HP numbers. I am totally ignorant on Chevy V8s so excuse that but I am comparing it to the 3800 V6 Supercharged which gets 240 HP bone stock. Is your estimate rear wheel power? Is that why there is such a low expectation? Thanks

I have never seen a carbed 3.4. Looks AWESOME

I'm sure a turbo or N02 could be put on afterwards.

Looks SWEET and it's not even in the car yet.

Turbo would be a no, Would require a custom manifold, But Fageol makes a supercharger that would bolt right on. Just don't have funds now and would require me to re-do the decklid, so maybe later. NOS would be very easy to do.

My only problem now is it has been postponed a few weeks due to recent surgery.

The stock gaskets for a 3.4L firebird engine.
You can also use the stock gaskets for ANY 2.8L except the Fiero. (Blazer, Jimmy, S-10/S-15, Citation, Firebird, Camaro, etc)
If you buy the upper gasket set for the 2.8L you will get a set, the Fiero valve cover gaskets only come seperately. I also have an extra set.
