i know the feeling.... trust me. 3 transmissions and 2 motors have been swapped since i got this car. did u have colder plugs also? seems like u were somewhat ok to run a 3.4, only thing really lacking was plog of headers. front manifold= FAIL. have to ask cuz of some posts i see around here... u do run highest octane gas u can get right? if u part it out i may be interested in the PCM. how hard were u on the throttle when it took a sh*t?

Damn that really sucks. this is my 2nd motor now. When i first bought the car i drove it a week and spun a bearing then put this motor in drove it about 15-20 miles. haha.. i havint even go threw two tanks of gas in the 4 months ive owned it lol

And yeah i was running 104 autolights and I was going to see what it would top out at and i got up to 90 mph 4,000 RPM and it just wouldn't go past that it wasn't hitting a rev limiter but just seemed like it was bogging out I looked in my rear view mirror and there was like a mile long trail of smoke.
i should have just went in and had it tuned but oh well i guess live and learn haha

either had it tuned or scanned for KR after 3.4 setup was done. i accepted friend request... if u decide to part it out let me know asap... im looking for 3.4 pulley and pcm. i have headers and other supporting mods so the KR u had shouldnt be an issue for me.. ive heard nothing but good reviews about 3800 performance pcms.

I Scanned it for KR when i first got it running it showed .8 at the highest. and i was running 95 octane and yeah i will let you know for sure if i do part it out but as of right now i think ima pull it and drop another motor in it and if i blow another ill be done with it for sure.. and i have not heard any thing bad about there pcms ether but im trying to get the programming script..

I think I am going to rebuild my old block. scenes it just needs rod bearings. I don't have a hole lot of experience but i learn quick lol. If i have it boared .20 over ill just need to put different piston rings it right? or will i need different pistons?

That isn't bad...I'd still take off that smaller pulley just to be easier on that thing...apparently you've run into a streak of sh1t luck like I have

Lol yeah i was a little confused i didn't think .8 was too bad. and i would but theres no point now.. it had fresh oil in it. now its dirty as shyt and has metal shavings in it. ;/. i think ima pull the motor and check every thing out. see whats going on.
