dude, if you're gonna put a different engine in, go with the new 3.4 ecotec V6. Better than the 3400 that came in your car originally.

it pretty cheap if that was a swap. Parts and labor that definately beats my price.
Im thinking you replaced a piston seal. I was wondering if you did do that why not go ahead and get forged piston instead. IDK. Im guessing.

Well it was a brand new GM 3.4 V6 longblock... Same exact one that came stock. The labor included taking the old engine out, taking everything off the old one and putting it on the new block, then putting it back in the car. I was charged 13.6 hrs of work at $48 an hour! its that cheap cuz i work at an auto shop and they hooked me up (normal rate is $75 and hour)
$1995 for new block (with shop discount. originally $2,495)
$652 for labor (they wre even nice enough to put my CAI back in, lol)
