This may be an absolutely retarded question but I havent done any home work yet so here goes:
Can you convert a 3.4L to a 3.4L dohc or are the blocks different? not a simple head swap i assume. there would be a chain, gear or belt system to adapt also i would assume.
Someone fill me in or point me to the right site. Thanks

Yes they are different blocks

Thanks for the info on the blocks. will the DOHC be a direct swap with the non?

The nose thingy was aluminum but was recently sold due to the huge ugly factor.

Thanks for the sig! woo hoo!

The DOHC block has no provisions for lifters. The push-rod block has no provisions for moving oil to the heads.

They are not interchangeable in any shape or form.

sorry, what i was asking was will the 3.4L dohc bolt up in place of the non dohc or is the block bolt patterns different. thanks.
