Finally got my license and now I'm ready to mod.

My guess, you'll do none of the above.

might be better off going with the 3500 part swap, rather than whole engine swap.
check www.wot-tech.com if you haven't already. |

Man, why does everyone have to be such a rooster on here? I may not be the brightest when it comes to cars, but for god's sake, lay off the harsh comments!

In that case, give me all your money and I'll tell you your car is faster because you have NO IDEA what you are doing or getting into.

What do you want to do? Let's start with that.
Don't say "I want to have a super fast car to race Honduhs all day long"

I want to tune my car and make it show-worthy. Make it worth more than the $500 they quoted it to be worth.

It can be done, the Alero OSV had that engine, but only one or 2 of those cars were made and I think they are both crushed now
Isn't that a 90* engine?

So let's start with a trip to local auto parts store and pick up some cleaning stuff
A car can be fast or slow, but looking good is always looking good

Trust me... I keep my cars clean. I cannot stand any little flaws. It may need to be scrubbed out, but it is clean otherwise.

car looks good but you will want to start with simple mods like a CAI and exhaust.

if you plan on going turbo why not just do a 3500 top swap? would be more worth-while unless you stay N/A..

A top swap is when you swap the 3400 upper an lower intake manifolds for the 3500 intake manifolds. The 3500 intakes have better air flow than the 3400 intake manifolds.
