Thanks for the help. I think this is my best bet at this point. Can I use the heads from the original 2.8 liter engine? I told them that this was for a Fiero engine exchange, but they just can't seem to get it right. I am almost tempted to get my money back, rebuild the old 2.8 and put it back in the car. The engine and tranny had to come out because of gasket and seals leaking, so it wasn't a waste of time to pull it. If you can forward that stuff from Lou to me, I would appreciate it. Thanks again...



I think you might be making a mistake, here. You can to to Jegs, and get the ATK Engines Remanufactured Crate Engine for 1993-1995 GM F-Body with 3.4L V6 (Part Number: 059-DCC9). This is a Vin Code S engine with iron heads and a 36-month warranty. I'd seriously be looking at sending the wrong one back and getting a this as a replacement. Alternatively, you could have the 2.8 rebuilt.

I have sent the engine back. The engine they sent me was the wrong one and they have agreed to just give me my money back. In the meantime, I have found a local builder only 15 miles away and they will bore and stroke my old engine, put a new cam in it and for a lower price. I talked to the guy who owns the place and he is the same age as I am , 71, and we hit it off very well. He is very knowledgeable and told me that after I bring the engine over we can talk about what can be done and go from there. I only went with the original place because my friend recommended them. After reading their history with the BBB and Yelp, I shouldn't have even considered them. Do not use Accurate Engines for anything.

I think you'll be very happy with the result. You could wind up with more HP & torque than the 3.4l has. I'm sure the folks on the list can offer suggestions on cams, roller rockers, head and manifold porting to make the 2.8 perform pretty well.

Thanks for all the input. I have shipped this 3.4 back, gotten my money back and am having a local builder rebuild my old engine. I will gain a few horsies in the build, but nothing crazy. A warning to all, DO NOT USE ACCURATE ENGINES FOR ANYTHING!!! They are the absolute worst!!!! I only used them because they came recommended to me. In order to resolve this issue, I had to get the Michigan BBB involved.
