Willing to sell as shown in the first picture. With PT68 (Just rebuilt last year). Including mildly hacked up wiring harness (this was a tight budget rx-7 swap) and ECM modded for LOWZ 120# injectors and E85 Turbo tweak chip. 3" Downpipe included. $2000. (Plus shipping)
Low 10 sec 3.8 ready to run...
So I’ve decided to part ways with the 3.8. It’s been good to me, but I think I’ve pushed it as far as I can without getting into big money (aftermarket blocks, heads, etc)
Currently still running/driving made several 10 second passes this year. 10.06 @ 137 is the best. Track is closed for winter and the engine is comoing out.
Approx 580WHP going by weight/trapspeed.
Engine Specs
Approx 9:1 comp
New oil pump gears,rings,bearings. (one season)
SS RJC “Bullet proof” Head gaskets, ARP studs (one season)
Fed mog. Forged pistons with coated skirts (one season)
Factory rods/crank hardware.
86 turbo Crank is STD
86 Block is STD bore
Aftermarket timing chain (single, only turn 5900 rpm in ¼) (3.08 gears 28" tire)
Webber racing Cast Iron heads 42cc chambers 1mm oversized valves. ($1000+ heads)**See Below**
110# valve springs (one season)
Rocker studs and billet braces. (one season)
218/218 comp cam (one season)
Felpro1200 match ported intake. (bought used last year)
***Bad***
Heads have small cracks in valve pedestals. I believe this was due to teh shims I was running. Since removing shims, I have installed a stud kit and RJC braces. These have never gotten worse. I believe they are fine for the RPM I am pushing. (see pics below)
Motor was rebuilt last winter and munched the timing chain tensioner early this year.. Comp cams informed me a tensioner is not needed with the chain I am running. Been running it all year with no tensioner. I dropped the pan to inspect for damage. While I Was there I replaced the main/rod bearings. There was no damage. The thrust bearing has more wear than I like to see. And I would suggest a rebuild. Although, I don't believe the thrust bearing is getting any worse. I Pulled/split filter last weekend. No material found. This motor could be ready for more 10 sec passes with very little effort.
