Convette Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 dang, sorry to hear about the engine problems. You might as well build it if your going through all that work while you have it apart. You will thank yourself later. When you get it all together (stock) your gonna be like.... damn another 100hp would be great. Thats what I'm saying now after driving it for a summer. Also, I need a cam those video clips sound sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsTKl Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 10 bucks says your car is running before mine. HAHAHAHAHA if I say it I hope its less fun for you guys to joke about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I got some more parts in today, adjustable timing set, h beam rods, rocker trunions, and main studs. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/2011-12-14_17-25-52_412.jpg Still have lots to do in the engine bay but the wiring harness is gone, the relays tucked and you can see my s13 steering rack conversion. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/2011-12-09_12-35-11_71.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfyter Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 How much extra clearance does the 240 rack give you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 No difference really I had the rack installed with the g54b. I shortened the knuckles when I did it and have faster lock to lock with a tighter steering angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHARDmitsu. Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) something tells me this car is not being built to go straight but sideways. Edited December 16, 2011 by DieHARDmitsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfyter Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very nice. Does the swap involve a lot of fabrication or is it relatively straightforward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Very nice. Does the swap involve a lot of fabrication or is it relatively straightforward? It's going to take some knowledge in welding/fabrication and steering design. Edited December 16, 2011 by Scotty Dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Got the pistons in as well as some other parts from gm. My engine builder will have everything to started machining now. I have to decide on what EXACTINGLY I want now, with lq9/4 heads I can be a 9.5-1 comp good for street boost, stock heads will be 10-1, 243 heads which will put me at about 10.5 and 5.3l heads which will put me at 11-1. NA will be good for all around fun and Turbo/SC will be great for some smokey drifts and highway pulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_S Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 SC is nice because of that flat powerband. But boost is just plain fun when it comes on.. tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

button Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I will say, If I had the option to economically run 10:1 compression, I would, and boost it.I've tuned a lot of cars with 10 or even 12:1 compression and boost, and it is a world of difference over 9:1 or less.Your project sounds cool, I like it.

Scotty Dont Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well last night I got some things done. I decided to install the stock cam because I was unsure on what cam to use too many to choose from The timing chain, oil pump, timing cover, windage tray, and pickup tube are on. Today I will be able to install the rear main seal and cover as well as the oil pan, valley pan and knock sensor. The heads will have to wait until I get my head studs/chromoly pushrods /underdrive pulley from summit. :) :) http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/396798_336649599692530_100000424796961_1186563_915983052_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
