i have a bonneville already , the lumina is my second car and the 3.4 your talking about is the dohc , i know those things aren't worth anything. i was talking about the 3.4 from the impala,monte carlo ,grand am. its basically an updated 3.1

I would go 3.4ohv, but I don't know how much (if any) rewiring would be needed.

I had a Lumina Z34 for alot of years...other then eating alternators it was a great car..I chipped it and it really ran great right up to the time a semi lost a mudflap and I swerved to miss it on the interstate at 75...back end came around and I rolled it five times..some how I walked away from it

some how some way i mis diagnosed my lumina all that was wrong was a very loud valve tap(maybe the fact that it was 19 degrees out that day helped)but i took it to work flushed engine added a bottle of lucas and 10W40 full synthetic and it sounds brand new. it was time for an oil change any way and the car only has 78,000 miles on it.
