My engine is blown(cam and heads) 3400 V6. I was told the 1999 engine was the only year 3400 to use. I have a 2000 3400 engine, from what I can see the main differences seem to be the intake manifolds, and an oil cooler. If the block and heads are
The block is the same you will have to get the gasket set and swap all the necessary equipment. It takes longer but the outcome is the same.

Racing improves the breed. How many times have you heard some automaker PR flack spout that line in order to justify a motorsports program? When it comes to NASCAR, which is still the most popular form of racing in the United States, it’s clearly a complete fallacy. Open wheel racing, be it at Indianapolis or Monaco, largely falls into the same bucket. There is, however, one form of motorsports where there truly is a feedback loop: sports car racing like the kind on display in the American Le Mans Series.
One example is staring you in the face every time you look at the nose of a contemporary Corvette . When the C6 Corvette debuted, many fans complained about the styling, including the front air intake and the departure of the long running pop-up headlamps. The C6 brought a new larger central air intake and exposed, flush lighting. The design was influenced directly by the C5.R racing program and its need for better air-flow to the engine and brakes of the racecar.

With the opening race of the 2010 American Le Mans Series campaign just a couple of weeks away, the Corvette Racing team invited us out to the Pratt & Miller shop in Wixom, MI to learn more about their program and the race car. Corvette Racing is one of only two major racing program sponsorships that survived the General Motors bankruptcy with NASCAR being the other. In the case of NASCAR, relevance to product or improving the breed clearly doesn’t factor into the equation. NASCAR is about marketing plain and simple, and how effective it is for that is debatable.
Ever since the Corvette Racing program had its competition debut at the 1999 24 Hours of Daytona, Pratt & Miller Engineering has been part of the program. When the program began, former Corvette chief engineer Dave Hill decreed that the effort must have a close relationship with the production engineering team to ensure that there was technology transfer that benefited road and race cars alike. That transfer began early and has continued.
