[WayFast84]

Id need a hand, Installing timing chain and everything power sterring alt etc. bolting up my headers I could do my self but bolting the headers to the Y ill need another hand. Also be installing a LG4 wiring harness, Intake manifold and Id deffinatly need help installing the distributer and the timing and such.

also Like Ive stated in a nother thread Im not looking for 1/4 mile power, but I do have a cam install kit and its prety much down to everything for a cam install, and If some one wants to help me pick a cam to install now AND help me do the valve springs,the reason I stoped installing the other cam and returned it...

PM me please Im not saying any date because I dont have the wiring harness yet or anything else..

I also need to borrow
A timing sprocket puller
a torch and fireproof gloves
Im poor cause Im doing a t5 swap..:lol:

[BonzoHansen]

Did you already spend more then $1 on a T5 swap? :rolleyes:

[WayFast84]

NO Im looking to do a trade with some one plus cash because my trans is rebuilt and has a waranty :lol:

[bad64chevelle]

what trans do you have? 700R4?

[WayFast84]

what trans do you have? 700R4?
yeah..

[WayFast84]

Probably next sunday I could use a hand or this sunday around 3

[BonzoHansen]

A T5 is a POS. Don't waste the time. Plus you realize the 700R4 warranty is probably not transferrable.

[WayFast84]

TT I got the wiring, Id need help soldering a bit, if any one has a soldering iron..

I also have ordered the cam, said it takes around two weeks, so maybe second saturday of october?

[WayFast84]

tt cam is out

im willing to pay for some help now, so I dont have another fire...

[WayFast84]

actually any one that has a degree kit, ill give you some money if you can come over and show me how to degree it..

[curt86iroc]

why would you swap a 700r4 for a t5? you realize they never put them behind the L98 because they could not handle the torque...

[Savage_Messiah]

t5 = broken 3rd gear... then the rest follow suit

[BigAls87Z28]

why would you swap a 700r4 for a t5? you realize they never put them behind the L98 because they could not handle the torque...

Here is my whole deal with that.
They didnt put the T5 behind the L98, but they put it behind the more powerful LB9? I never figured that out, and never got an answer why.

[Savage_Messiah]

well HOW much stonger was the wct5 than the normal one?

[WayFast84]

forget about the t5 swap, even if i did it a lt1 t56 would be swapped in eventually..

cam is in, but not the lifter because i wasnt sure if they should be in before/while its going to be degreed..

What is an LB9?

[WayFast84]

305 tpi

[WayFast84]

i think alex is a little confused...

[qwikz28]

i think alex is a little confused...
i coulda told you that. lol

[deadtrend1]

well, after some research .. hes technically right.

no, i don't know how acurate these numbers are on the TGO tech data, but in 87, the l98 was rated at 225hp. In 92, the G92 LB9 was rated at 230 .....

Interesting ....

yea you need them in to degree it...

[WayFast84]

K ill put them intomorrow..how hard is it to be degreed? I forgot to line up the marks thats why im getting it degrreed..

[IROCdan330]

wait, did you put the timing chain and cover on? if so take it off...

i dont see why you dont put the number 1 piston at TDC and start over...

degreeing the cam is just math and watching a dial indicator/degree wheel.

[WayFast84]

chain is off

How do i know when piston is at tdc? what do I do? the head is on! should lifters be in?

[johnjzjz]

Question - y do u want to degree the cam its not a race motor ?? its an over the counter bought to fit your combo cam -- is it not -- if you have a cam card thats the paper that comes along with the cam or as of late the info is on the outside of the cam box --- post the info in a message .450 intake lift ect 220 @ .050 or advertised duration ??? valve opens @ 12* X closes @ 34* type of thing and some might have spring pressure @ 1.750 - is 90 lbs do you have this info if not you need a cam doctor type tools to compute it and some one who knows how ?? i have reading info but on Crane cams or comp cams site they have a real good explain on how to -- but if u cant get the dots on the gears right -- dont know if that is going to be of any help -- ( How 2 align the dots ) on the cam top gear dot on the bottom --- the crank gear ( the bottom one ) dot on the top use a 12 inch ruel and center of crank to center of cam the dots must be in that line and torque the cam bolts all 3 to 25 foot lbs and use blue lock tight ( not RED ) and put it back together --- jz

true, but look at the torque numbers. hp doesnt kill a tranny, torque does...

[BigAls87Z28]

how is a LB9 more powerfull then a L98?

No, not more powerful, but the more powerful LB9 got the 5spd manual. The peanut camm'ed LB9 got stuck with the 700R4.

[curt86iroc]

No, not more powerful, but the more powerful LB9 got the 5spd manual. The peanut camm'ed LB9 got stuck with the 700R4.

except for 85 irocs or z28's with the LB9. You could get a 215 hp LB9 with a 700r4 if i remember right (my bro had one. you may recall nikki's old car).

also, didnt the LB9 G92 equipped cars get a wct5 tranny?

[WayFast84]

SO really guys I need the help with everything but putting my headers on and painting the block, I need to get the car runing asap, once again my moms care DOESNT run and shes stuck with out a rental...

True, true. The only thing that really stayed the same was that the most powerful engine could not come with the 5spd manual, TPI wise.
I know the L69 came with a 5spd in 84, but I with the TPI cars, you could never get the top model with a manual trans.
Im not sure about the WCT5's.
And of course I remember Nikki's car. Speaking of which, where did that girl go? I havent talked to her in 2 years.

i have no idea, but i know where her car went...hehe. spun a bearing about a year ago AND the rear went at the same time.

ps. one of the coolest 3rd gens is the 84 z28 L69 T5 with 3.73 gears. man i want one!!!
