[Gmecm] 60� V6 Cam

[Chris Reynolds]

I honestly couldn't tell you about the mount thing.  I have had the newer FWD, the older FWD, and the RWD blocks on stands, sitting in my garage, etc, just never even thought to look at the mounts.   IIRC, if it is FWD the mounts will bolt right up.   I do not know about the interchange of the timing chain cover.   The newer 3100/3400 has a waterpump that is mounted offset to the front of the vehicle in the timing cover.
   
  The extent of my 60* V6 work little and far between.  I mostly deal with Chevrolet V8s.   
   
  Engine management is my strong point as well.

  So Chris; if I get a 1996 or newer 3400 engine, it will have a roller cam. 
How much remodification will be needed to attach the motor mounts from my existing 1985 FWD 2.8 MPFI to this block? I have read and gathered it will be a bolt-in swap.
Will the timing chain cover interchange?
I can deal with the engine management aspect of it.
Thanks!
David
