What the hell GM vehicle are those engines out of? IIRC, "DOHC" meant Dual OverHead Cam. "GM" and "DOHC" don't usually go together in the same sentence.

And, welcome to CEG!


3.4 dohc= monte carlo z34,lumina z34,lumina LTZ(nice car)
grand prix gtp???



The 91-97 body style GP (4 tiny sealed beam front end) had the 3.4L DOHC... Fairly powerful motor, 200-220hp depending on year. Very unreliable if not maintained correctly, like my friend's (95 Monte Z34) was in it's previous life. Had all kinds of engine electrical problems. I think they continued the 3.4 DOHC thru the 96 MY, then replaced it with the more reliable/torque, but less hp 3.8L OHV.

Also the Lumina Euro 3.4 (90-94 4 door style) had it. Not as high end as a Z34 as far as I could tell... used to be one sitting up the road from my mom's house all the time. Would walk by it going to school when my licence was suspended .

The very low end base model GP in 88/89 had a 5 speed in it with a 2.8L (130hp whoo!) and maybe with the 1989.5 intro of the 3.1L (140hp). After 89 they dropped it. Guess they brought it back along with adding the 2.3L DOHC Quad 4 w/160hp (with ATX) as an option. Crazy. The early base Luminas had the 2.5L "Tech4/Iron Duke" I-4 (90/92hp) and possibly the 2.2L (110 hp IIRC) that replaced it. Crazy having a low power 4 cylinder in a larger car like that.

Also if ya wanna know... the 3.1L is a larger 2.8L; the 3.4L is a modified and larger 3.1L. They are all the same family. Also the 3.4L DOHC was built in Canada, just some useless info I found.

I am the keeper of all knowledge that is useless!
