Howdy, Being on the road away from the garage means back-burner projects kinda float to the top of the whole thought experiment heap... I've stockpiled a stash of parts for a 3.0L destroker (3.800 bore, 2.660 stroke) built on a stock block for Bonneville. Land Speed Racing (LSR) means...

Howdy, Been out of acquiring parts for the Turbo6 for a while but looking for a block for a new project. How much does a bare (well main caps included) 4.1 block that would clean up at 4.00in go for these days? As nice as an off center Stage block would be, I think this project can make do...

Howdy, Anyone have an aftermarket Al or SS water neck they're looking to part with? I cut mine down for an AN upper hose but don't want to modify the new radiator for the same so going back to rubber and need a new water neck but don't need another thermostat like all of the new ones seem to...

Howdy, Been a while since I posted but still messing with my ‘64 Riviera hybrid. I’ve finally reached the point of getting a real FMIC vs. a scooped stock unit so new plumbing. The FMIC has 3in outlets, the MAF takes 3.75in hose (85mm LQ4 style), and of course the stock TB takes 2.5in hose...

Howdy, I'm pulling my engine to fix a persistent oil leak and repaint it. Since it's coming out figured I might tackle some of the unadressed aspects of the engine build when I put it together years ago, namely the bone stock intake sitting on Champion CNC irons. I can't afford a real...

Howdy, Just want to ask the community what the differences are when trying to put a Turbo6 in an early A-body like a 64-67 Skylark. Really thinking more engine bay type differences since obviously the exhaust under the car is different. Thanks

Hello All, Continuing to work on my very slowly moving LSR project and the supply of standard bore 3.8 blocks seems to be low at least that I can find without serially buying blocks. 225's in need of a freshening do come up more frequently though and with a 3.75in bore, that means that even an...

Hello y'all, I'm trying to take my new to me 60-1 with a Turbonetics ceramic ball bearing cartridge apart so I can machine off the 44mm wastegate riser/adapter from the wastegate flange on the side of the turbine housing. Because this is in a hybrid, space is tight and the bigger wastegate...

86-87 Billet Vacuum Block, grooved top, vacuum brakes tap, painted to match the plenum (black with polished ribs). $40 shipped if trade for your stock plastic block (actual shipping if no trade, will work a deal if you want to trade a non-vacuum brake billet block) No idea who I got it from...

OK guys (and ladies), Here's the deal. I don't have the budget to do what I would want to idealy on 4.1 swapped '64 Riviera which is an FMIC, custom radiator, BB turbo, and big injectors. The car is a street car and while I have intensions of making ~500hp down the line; really all I want to...

Hello there, Well I'm potentially in need of a good set of injectors 55-80lb/hr injectors. I've found a turbo that meets my long term needs for a price I can afford vs. buying a stock LC2 turbo now to work with my existing L67 injectors. However this doesn't leave a ton of room in the budget...

"Grand National high spool Turbo from Garrett 06559,PN# 104-1932, SN# 13166, (left mount) custom build with very low miles good for 450 hp, tested 24 psi boost. $ 300.00 OBO" Found this on Craigslist and not being ANY form of an expert on turbos, what is this and is it any good/worth the money...

***Race Car Only, not a street car*** So my LSR motor is coming out of storage and I'll start messing with it again sometime soon. Since I've had time to think but not do anything an idea struck me. Can I spray fuel pre-turbo and get away with no intercooler? This would significantly...

How much does an Off Center Stage I or II block run these days? Honestly one needing a sleeve would be fine since I'd need to keep the bore down < 3.830 (so ~3.820 max) to fit in my class with the 2.660in crank I have. Has to be Off Center as well for the class.

Hey guys, While I'm probably going to run the existing 3.800 x 2.660 combo I have, the huge bore to stroke ratio and the limits of a stock block have me wondering how much farther I can push it past the current ~350hp peak I'm considering now without blowing the bottom out or loosing control...

I'm sure most of us have either been indoctrinated by magizine/forums, come to the conclusion through reading of informed sources, or maybe even for some of us (not me by the way) through experience that given a fixed displacement, big bore, short stroke makes the most power. I'm not going to...

Howdy, I know I've asked this before but it's been YEARS since I did so and technology has steadily marched on and my budget and goals have become quite a bit tighter (or more honestly reality caught up to them). Car is a ~4000lb 64 Riviera with a 4L80E and 3.42 rear gears. Current...

Howdy, I know the title must seem very strange but there is a method to this madness. For Bonneville, you have to run "production" heads to race in production and any head with the ports in the same spots and the same number of head bolts is considered a "production" head. I don't have the...

Howdy, Looking for a Riviera FWD 14-bolt oil pan Thanks,

Howdy, Are there problems with running the old style evenly spaced cap with the wide tipped rotor on an oddfire motor If I'm running locked timing with mechanical boost retard (15º max)? Anyone have experience with the TA odd fire cap? Thanks,
