Answer : Well I will consider the fuel consumption anyways because we need less gas guzzlers out there already! Listen, the straight six is becoming a classic since it is not made anymore. A nice six cylinder engine looks fine and the project becomes even more interesting, what is it about v8 anyways! Enjoy your straight six and embrace it. It is America's only good contribution to the science of mecanics. All you have to change is one motor mount and move your fuel line You will also have to consider driveshaft length, exhaust, and leaf springs for the added weight. The trouble is deffinetly worth the effort. My 76 cj-5 304 is my secondary car, so I dont worry about gas mileage. Fun Car!! The motor mount is what is welded to the frame ... Or I believe if you longgate the holes in whats there I think it will work,, But if I was going tho all this Id go with a 360 AMC motor
No its not worth it unless ur going to do a tt motor swap. check out www.z1motorsports.com
Very expensive and not worth the effort. If i was going to swap to tune port I'd do it on a 350. The modification adds between 40 or 50 horse
Possible, but not worth the effort.
I just bought a Mashie at a local swap meet for ten bucks
none because there is no such thing as a swap meber
To much!
It is worth around $56,000 but Darren cook will swap his cica trainers and gola bag for it contact him at 21 Middle Street East, Walkerdene

its not really worth it i would say but if i wanted around 200$ max.
Seahorses are freely available so not worth anything. In addition, howrse does not endorse trading. You could offer to swap with a friend instead.
I added a link that may have some info for you. This is for the J-body. (Cavalier/Sunbird) but a lot of it will be the same for you. Most guys on the site that have done the swap will tell you it's not worth the headache. The 3400 and now 3500 swap puts out almost as much power, the engine weighs less, and the swap is much easier than the 3.8. The few that have done the 3.8 SC swap can't get the power to the ground. It looks cool but is fairly useless in these light cars. You can also turbo charge the 3400 if you want even more power.
Almost any swap is possible, depending on weather or not you are willing to put the time and effort in to doing it. Some are easier then other's while some are quite complex. In your case It should not be to complex. When getting the 3.8L get a "Complete Drop Out" which gives you Engine PCM, Harness ect. you might also have to swap the engine cradle for the mounts to line up. but if you are willing to put the time and effort in anything is possible.Adam .SSloppy backyard Mechanic.
