Darth, well i scrapped all thoughs Turbo Camaro plans, they are kind of a waste, the camaro deserves a LS1 V8 so maybe in the future ill have enough to make a full payment on a 2000 Z28. In the mean while, i have noticed a number of fieros poping up for sale in my area, some which are greatly...

fock it :)

The New 3800 Series III connecting rods match perfectly with stock L67 pistons, use of other pistons may need be worked with a bit.

http://media.gm.com/division/powertrain/products/engine/carengines/2004/2004%20L32A.doc The L32 2004 GTP has the hot-forged powdered metal connecting rods. You may have to do a little machining to fit the rods safely, although they will fit, it may be a good choice from what iv read about...

Well i found out the solution, Series III Connecting rods, 130# valve springs, low cut retainers are allowing alot of GTP owners to rev to 7000 rpm. thats awsome :) Would you guys reccomend a higher stall torque converter?

would any of these products be nessessary or are the stock ones strong enough to handle some good power? Clevite 77 Bearings ARP main stud kit ARP Connecting rod bolts ARP Head studs Valve Springs 130# w/ Retainers

Yes, rods are a concern for me, intense-racing has a set of very good rods from what iv seen in there project cars they have successfully ran over 18lbs of boost without problems. Perhaps you would know where else i could purchase some very strong rods for the 3800 II.

Well, I can easily find a low mile 98+ RWD long block for around 200-400$ I have spoken with intense-racing.com. And they told me the crank in both the L67 and L36 are exactly the same. They currently carry 10 different pistons sets. So i guess within the next couple paychecks I will...

Well the 3800 Series II is what i have stock right now, i will considering finding a Newer long block 3800 II depending on the condition of the engine, which i have takin very good care of it. iv added a lower temp thermostat and a manual control fan switch for those hot stop light days (75k...

Well, i went to a local garage today and a LC2 swap is deffinately out of the question, the price would be insane for a complete engine/transmission plus wiring and additional costs. I thought maybe if i could get the LC2 cheap it would be a better deal but it woudlnt be since so much custom...

thanks for helping me out :) well, about the MSD, iv heard of people having problems with the coils in the stock L36. I personally havent had any problems. But iv just heard of stories. Maybe they just didnt take car of there car. lots of reving or or just beat there car. well thanks...

Thankyou for the advice darth. Before I was very lost. Iv heard of L67 engines capable of handling over 350+ HP and Torque with stock internals which is pretty damn good. But i wasnt sure how much of the bottom end of the L36 compared to the L67 had in common. I have re-evaulated my goals...

Ok, i need help. i own a 96 camaro with the 3800 v6 I know the buick 3.8l and the 3800 are way different engines. but when speaking about blocks... is the 3800 series II block just as strong as the 3.8l buick block? Also, I know to turbocharge my car it will be hard work so i need some...
