Ryan, i agree. I used to work in a racing transmission shop and remember all the fiddling with governors for shift rpm. That could be a pain to get right. I thinka lot of members woukd feel better when its proven a 4l60e lives a long life behind a stout 231. Your project is ambitious, but i...

What grumpy said. The early card turbos i read had drivibility problems a d were a little temperamental. You will need a to fabricate a few things, but you will be much happier with the end result. Question, can you measure the carb turbo engine from exhaust manifold face on the head to...

That is some helpful info. For sure that is. We have decent side radials in front as i wanted the car to be able to sto as good as it goes. Ours is a notchback, it weighs right around 2600. They are not all that heavy. The cars you were talking about above, what gear and trans did they...

That is looking good and very similar to ours, except ours is an 84 hot air motor with distributorless ign and sfi. Is the motor still out of the car? I am trying to find the width of the 109 style motors from exhaust manifold mounting surface to exhaust manifold surface. The series 2 motor is...

That seems nice and narrow, Now if I could only find the same width for the old motor, I would have a concrete idea what I will be dealing with. I searched and saw a width of 26, but that seems too wide, maybe it includs manifolds. I cannot believe the new motor is 8 inches narrower. I could...

this car has been in the family since 82 and it's an 80. I can tell you the turning radius on them stock SUCKED. it seems almost any turn is 3 point turn that is a doable u-turn in other cars. They just dont have a good radius. Never had a good radius, then if you put some decent tires under...

A wealth of information, my brother and I would like to put a series 2 turbo motor in our H body hybrid. Does anyone know if the series 2 motor is narrower than the 109 motor? I know the deck height is lower which will make it a little narrower I believe, what about the heads? Does anyone have...

Carl, very nice H body. My brother and I have been working on a Pontiac sunbird 109 swap for far too long. Probably a good 15 or more years. Life kept getting in the way. We are at a point we are going to go back to it. It was running and drivable, but just not "there"yet. We are probably going...

Hello all, long time no posts for me. Started a new business and we stoped working on our project for a while. We are ready to get started again. So, here goes my question. Will the heads from an 3.8 Camaro bolt onto a hot air block? does anyone know what effect they will have on CR? Are they...

Hello GNVAIR, we (my brother and I) also have an h07 body, an '80 Sunbird notchback with an 84 hot air motor/2004R in it. It is very much a work in progress. I'd love to hear more about yours and how you made it all fit. As another H body hybrid fabricator :), we know how hard it is to have...
