My plans are probably to do the 3.4 dohc swap when I get my next fiero.

But.. I ressurected this thread to ask which swap is easier? The 3.4 dohc or the 4.9?
Edit: Page 3 is all mine!

easy is the key word. I did a 3.4 DOHC swap, and it was easy. bolts up to the stock mounts, cut off the "dog bone" mount, and half the pass side hood hinge. the mechanical part of it will only take days to figure out. The electrical part was another story. Having done one, I can look back and say "it wasn't that bad" but at the time it was difficult to figure out. I love the drive, and I love the sound. I used the WCF 2.5inch exhaust with Spintek muffler, and it sounds great. Not a lot (if any) aftermarket support. If I could do it again, I'd go LS3.

The guy who would know is fiero king. He's done both swaps. This is a possible flame thread and he may not want to get involved, but his would certainly be an informed opinion.

I like them both with a slight nod to the DOHC
