The van above has a 3.4 L engine.

I have another car, 1996 Cutlass Supreme four door with 115000 miles 3.1 L 6 cyl front wheel drive with Automatic Transmission.

My question is can I take the 3.1 L engine to replace the 3.4 L engine? The logic is that if all the connections match except the intake manifold connection where I would use the intake manifold from the 3.4.

I want to save the van and discard the cutlass because of accident damage. The engine is in good shape.

Please let me know of the possibilites.

Thanks,

Al
