What motor is going in it as far as the stroker goes? 4.3? Specs? Same motor from your car being turned into a stroker? Split port or still a single?
Looks like it's coming along very well. If that transmission you have now takes a shit and you pick up a 4R70W, just do the J mod, and a decent converter. Thats all you need done...that's from experience after I did all that work on mine and it turned out to be a giant, overpriced, piece of shit. |

thats what im hoping for...i wouldnt mind seeing 11's
well stratch the 4.3L stroker out...the 4.2L crank wont work with the 351w h-beam rods (rods too short for the 4.2 crank), talked to supersix motorsports and he said he tried that on one build and the pistons and crank were hitting up against each other...But he said it will be a great combo with my stock 3.8L crank/351w h-beam rods and custom pistons...so i guess im going that route. Will be ordering the pistons from SSMS friday, heck maybe even tomorrow :) Was hoping for a 4.3 stroker :( but this will do |

I'm confused...the 4.3 stroker kits from supersix have a ground 4.2 crank.. and iirc the rods in the kit are 351 H-beams
I bought the 4.3 stroker from supersix.. |

also installed the turbo headers yesterday, was starting to put the turbo kit on but ran out of time. Today I might finish that up, install the upper intake, radiator/fan and other misc....I still have it set to start her up Saturday :smokin:

Sounds mean!

thanks man
|
Is that the HKS filter? I am using it on mine and works great, just be careful not to buy the fake foam filters.
|
i dont know if it is, i bought it from CL but the metal and foam seem like be good quality
------------------------------------------------------------------- a little accleration tease... The gauge on the top is boost and the on on the bottom is oil On the second time i got on it i couldnt focus on the gauges because the car went sideways :/ right now, its running a little bit rich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eauLIuicuI4 |
The fake foam will fall apart and get sucked into in. I purchased mine from an authorized Hks dealer. Read this http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3646

i found this knock off on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/HKS-Super-Fl...60855150924533 this looks like the filter i have http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-UNIVERSAL-...item2a14f826bc i also went to make sure if any of the foam has come off and everything look good |
