Savage_Messiah 04-27-2007 11:26 AM

So I fail to see where your suspension, rear and trans are addressed

GrandmasterCow 04-27-2007 11:36 AM

haha not a bad starting list. my list is lil over 2100 and that includes my new suspension =] good luck and yes, do your suspension & rear !

ar0ck 04-27-2007 12:03 PM

You could have probably bought those 24's off someone with an LT1, unless the design is completely different?

WayFast84 04-27-2007 02:49 PM

you could have saved money by buying summit brand cam, summit cams are crane cam's. Thats nice, I spent more on my last bill though, but summit is sometimes easier to order things.

Yea I was thinking about going with a Summit cam, but they don't have the lift and durration I want and the quatity isnt exactly up to par. The suspention stuff will be done later, and the rear and DS i'm getting from NJFBOA members. As I save up i'm gonna do up an all performance suspention including the tubular K-member, this list is just to put respectible power to the ground and get my car back. Now just so you guys who have this i spent more than you attitude, so what? Its all about HP and ETs right? Not that I'm saying I'm faster, but maybe I'll make a better gain %. Ok now what I've been doing for the past few hours betwine that post and now, was gathering gaskets and rebuild parts from various parts stores to get it done right.

chevylover5 04-27-2007 04:36 PM

Well then I would have needed to swap the trans, and my choice would have been auto or t-56 and I'm not a big fan of either. I'm not saying the dinky T-5 is great, but I just love a loud chevy with a 5 speed. Now the whole purpose isn't strait up power, or ETs, that would be an awsome side effect though, its more or less the fact I baught the car for $800 with the intention of swaping a V8 in it. I researced the project and wound up finding out about 3.4 puting down impresive numbers but I noticed flaws with there choices in parts. turbos that spool to late, over fueling, under fueling. So I spent a year and talked to people found more forums(including this one) got ideas both good and bad, sorted though what was what and came up to now. So I've decided to take the the road less traveled and see what I can squeze out of what is unexpetedly a stout little powerplant. I've got the parts on order. I've got the place set up(looks out window at 98+ V-6 F-body, 3.8, sounds like crap). I've got a few god guys ready to help, and I'm really hurtin for my car back. so by the end of may I'll be spendind countless hours at T&T tuning my car to T.

98tadriver 04-28-2007 05:38 AM

wow bubba im actually pretty impressed! you did your homework on it, for the most part lol. thats good man. are you getting the tubular k member before you drop the motor in? i saw that u said u were gonnna get it later, but how much later is the question

bubba428 04-28-2007 05:51 AM

When I have the $$$. Its accually easy to do. I just get the car up on jack stands take the tires off, lift the weight of the motor with a engine hoist, unbolt every thing and down it goes. the 3.8 K-member in going to be the closest match but that needs fabrication and I'm going to practice welding before I trust my life to it.

chevylover5 04-28-2007 11:49 AM

yo mna good luck with the project and idk about 4th gens, but in my 92z i changes the cradel in about 2 hours its a fairly easy <in/out> project, have fun with it and be safe. later
