Welcome to the forum. 86 Firebird you say? Huh, sounds familiar !

[Batsibf]

I have all ready changed the engine from the old 2.8l to the 3.4l and did some mods she running about 225hp now. Upgraded the suppension to match the factory ws6 package I have '88 16 in ws6 rims to put on just haven't found anyone here to redo them. I don't have any on my phone to put up but when I get a chance I'll get some on, I know if you google pic for an '86 firebird mine dose come up with out the hood from cargurus.com

I'm on several sight mostly on thirdgen.org

Welcome to FP!!

What 3.4L block did you use? The L23 or LA1?

[Batsibf]

I don't remember I got one out of a '94 firebird

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Probably an L23 then.

WOT-Tech.com has lots of goodies for the 60*V6s.

[Batsibf]

Thirdgen.org also has a lot of help, advice, and post people on what people have done

I never saw much love for V6 3rd gens, even on Full Throttle V6.

[Batsibf]

Neither have I, most have swapped a v8. But these cars are so much fun to drive and there really is not that much difference between the two on the third gen f body coming from the factory

I've always thought a boosted LX9 with a T56 would have been the coolest setup in an F-body. Especially in a 3rd gen, nobody would expect it.
