motor swap
ok down the road from my house is a 94 gtp which had the 3400 in it. since june ish i have been trying to sell a l67 motor/trans and ecu out of a 98 regal and i question is would the l67 fit in the gtp pretty easily or would it be a pain? the gtp is 500 bucks with 124k miles and would be something fun to do. what all would i need and what coud i keep from the original 3400?

UGH!
Please refrain from PM'ing car related questions to Admins/MODS/Gearheads, it takes away from the forum. You may get an answer, but that doesn't answer the question here, where OTHER members may have the same question.

I think the best way to find out, is to visit a 3400 based forum. Ask those guys if anyone has ever upgraded to a 3800.
Now, if its possible, then you are going to need the ENTIRE 3800 engine/trans, axles, PCM, wiring harness, fuel pump(*/C need more fuel pressure), and mounting brackets. And maybe the steering knuckles with wheel bearings.
That'* about what I can think of...

Actually Mike, please don't discourage members from pm'ing me to get my attention. Sometimes I don't see a post and the pm gets me to the topic. All of the good info would be posted and not just pm'd.
On the swap. I'm not 100% and the best place would probably be a GP specific forum. I've browsed a couple and remember this question being answered. Unfortuantely my hard drive was full that day and I didn't retain the answer.
In 94 though, the subframe was likely different because they didn't have the 3800 available.
