Hello. I live in the phillipines. I own a 2002 venture witha a 3.0 v-6 a/t f.w.d. i'm having a problem buying spare parts from the u.s.a, seems like it's a 3.4 liter v-6 motor over there, my question is did they ever produce the 3.0 v-6 over there and what vehicle did they use the motor on? and what automatic transmission and torque converter,do i have in my venture. on the bright side most other parts are compatible with the U.S version. will be overhauling the motor asap. thank you

I read a thread online about someone who pulled a 3.4 out of a Venture through the top. I measured it without the exhaust manifolds and there's about an inch on each side. I can lift the engine this close to the edges, but I wonder which approach is best - fastest - safest. Has anyone done a swap this way? Any tips? Thanks

Replying to: jebernabe (Aug 28, 2009 10:46 pm) The only US spec 3.0 V6 that was built up to recently (there's a new 3.0 V6 but its not related) was a 3.0L that was used in the Buick Century and the Olds Ciera as well as a couple other models (Olds Cutlass Calais was another - Buick Somerset, Pontiac Grand AM) , not in any minivans - they stopped building that motor in the mid 80s...it was replaced by the 3.3L which was a bored out version of the 3.0. The trans for the Venture was a 4T65E and in earlier versions (pre 2000), the 4T65 which still used a vacuum modulator - the "E" stands for electronic shift. Sounds like they might have done things differently for export to the Phillipines...

| thanks for the info. So far, so good. I hope the new engine is as good as the old one. It held up for 230,000km. The only real problem I've had with the car has been vaporlocking in hot weather. If I remove and reinstall the gas cap, it starts. It's only done it a few times. Quirks? Gremlins? Time to buy a new gas cap. | |
