3.1L powa!

**UR LOSN** · 12-14-2007

I had a 3.1L back in the day. might as well start up a new post!

**Abrasive** · 12-14-2007

I've got the 3.1 in my Lummie and I know Reptile has one in his Corsica. Great engine IMO!

I watched this show one time, kinda like Junkyard Wars, where two teams had to build a sand rail out of scrap parts and then compete head to head at the end. One team used a 3.1 in theirs and did probably the weirdest thing I had ever seen. They could not get the fuel injection figured out, so they cut a hole in the top of the big flat intake on top and bolted down a carbureator to it. I remember turning to the wife and saying, "

? That will never run." I'll be damned if it didn't fire right up and ran like a bat outta hell. Beat they other team hands down as I recall.

As did I have a 3.1L. GREAT car. Had ~208K on it when I sold it, and as far as I know the only thing the lady I sold it to had to change was the starter not long afterwards.

They are good little engines. Mine ran for a 15 min warm up and 2 mile drive with out oil. I then rebuilt it two two summers ago.
