Is this a Lumina car or a Lumina truck?

Check the engine size again. There is no 3.8 available in either of them.

You have a 3.4 engine. I don't believe they use serial numbers on them any longer. They use casting numbers to identify the block. That is usually on the top edge of the block where the bellhousing meets it.
