Hello smileynv: My name is Roger and I will answer for you.The 1988 Pontiac Firebird had a 2.8 v-6 engine. The timing set at 10 degrees in drive. The 1989 pontiac Firebird has both the 2.8 and a 3.8 engine.The 3.8 engine a DIS (direct ignition system) Had no distributor. The timing was preset and controlled by the computer system. There was no way to adjust the timing. Please rate the answer. This way I know it was useful. Should you need further help please just ask. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

I have a 2003 Monte Carlo with a 4300 v6 motor and I need to know if I can put a 3800 v6 in it

Can you?? Sure. Should you? Probably not. The two engines have different ECUs and aren't compatible without a lot of sensor corrections. By the time you get everything correct, you would most likely be dollars ahead to do an identical swap.

Do i have to disconnect motor mount to replace my drive belt

Depends on the motor. If there is a mount on the passanger side that the belt goes around then yes. Don't fret though, easy to get around. Use a jack and a piece of wood on the oil pan to support the motor so you can remove the motor mount to remove the belt. Again, this is on SOME gm motors not all. On the others the mount isn't in the way at all.
