Procedure to convert 3100/3400 for RWD use:

Upper & lower intakes must be rotated to face towards front of engine (Use Felpro problem solver gaskets)

Switch timing chain cover

Modify bottom front of oil pan to clear front crossmember

** Beware of 3400 engines from an Equinox.**

Upper intake manifold is not useable and must be changed.

The newest Equinox 3400 engines (built in China) require changing the upper intake manifold, changing to a cable driven throttle body, adding an external crank trigger, switching to an earlier model ICM/coil packs and plugging the cam sensor hole. All these changes bring the cost of the conversion to the same price or more than a 3500 (LX9 non VVT) engine.
