can someone list all hybrids done w/ turbo 3.8 motors

87 S10 2dr Blazer

Truck is at 3290 with me in it pretty light i think for a truck i gotta GT35r Laying around i think im gonna get that on along with some 50lb injectors and see what happens,also planing to get Alky Kit would anyone recomend it?Im new to GN motors,always tuned imports(i also own a 10 Sec Honda) yes i know its a honda but not a rice car though,but i just love that nice and steady pull of GN power mated with auto trans,im hoping to drop a second off my 12.51 et with stock motor with fuel and turbo upgrades,hopefully its possible,after that motor is coming out for some forged pistons and rods(weisco pistons,pauter rods) girdle Etc,and some Gn1 alu heads.

Sweet set up , I have one question? , on your down pipe do you have heat issues on the passenger side floor? Only reason I ask is I have had this problem. Ive moved the down pipe around and still no good set up. Your install looks factory, Very nice. Great work. Also what is your downpipe diameter and how much clearance do you have.

Also just to help you , an 8.5 rear was offered in S10's it was in 4.3 manual 5 speed HO set up's . I will take some pictures of the rear if you want them , got one in my 88 S10 with GN power. I think its from 99-2002 4.3 HO with manual trans. Im not positive on that but look for the 8.5 , I could idea a mile away. Got any more pic's definitly very cool truck.

Hey, No heat Issues on pass side at all its 2.5 on the dP 3 was tough to sqeeze about half inch left on one side and 1 and quater on the other side as far as clearance did you have problems with your steering column to clear the header?
 
I didnt have drivers side problems but I do have Non Power steering(manual STEERING). Whats your e mail I have a lot of detailed pic's if it will help you. Did you have to knoch the frame? MY e mail is Fortune628@aol.com .

Thanks Eric, Andy and Mike talked me into it at Woodward saying how 'Easy' your swap was. :D
I forgot to get the frame pads off the TTA before it left, I don't suppose you know if I can use GN frame pads or do I have to go get them off the TTA?

Hey, from where I was, it looked easy (on my dead ass watching Mike work) :D
 
There was a guy that lived a few houses down from a friend that does paint work who rebuilt his fiero gt up from the ground up and stuffed a gn motor from a crunched up 87 in. I remember only one mod and it was a t49 turbo, the rest is a blurr to me as it's been like 7 years since i've seen the guy but the car was really well put together.

Hahaha. Yeah I guess it looked easy from my angle too than. :D

Still waiting on that K-Member... :(
 
Mine is running and more or less done, I have to re detail the engine compartment recharge the AC install a boost Gage, knock sensor, scan master, adjutable fuel pessure regulator, fuel pressure guage and my alcohol kit and the speedometer, oil pressure and tach aren't working yet but don't plan on addressing all that this spring.

Whats funning is now that I've transplanted a TTA into a Camaro a TTA roller turns up for sale... :mad:
 
I'm kind of partial to Cobras. I saw Caspers at the Nats and loved it.

Then a guy here locally showed up at one of our club events with a gray with black stripes one that was even more impressive. Run a 1/4 in the 10's at only about 2800 lbs! He said it really pisses off the 427 Cobra owners when he stomps them with his 6-cylinder :biggrin:

Hey Paul, I'm really interested in building the same, I had a 77 Liftback GT back in highschool and thought It would have been a neat hybrid. Could you tell me about the install? fitment problems? We already have a 88 Z/28 with a stage II V6. Thanks! Jason
 
Man I got to get motivated....found this post, have not touched mine since I parted out the t-type in jan 05:( The poor camaro has been sitting about a year now with not drivetrain:frown:
 
LC2 powered 1962 Nova Convertible

:rolleyes:
I have been building a 1962 nova convertible for the last 4 years. Its been a big project. I just started rebuilding the 3.8. I cant make up my mind if I should use my stock crank and rods. The engine has 2 buillet center caps. Well I will have to make up my mind soon.
 
I figured I would share my Hybrid too ........ here's my BABY! :cool:
