Blew up my engine...
 

Well I guess I dont have to worry about the lousy 158hp that I made on the dyno at TTP last month. Last weekend I was sitting at a red light when the engine cut out. I got it restarted after a bit of trouble & it had a rod knock. I was able to baby it back to work & park it. Last week I started taking it apart to find the source of the knock. I now have the heads off & I still havent found anything wrong. Its got to be in the bottom end.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of a good place to work on the car, I may be forced to replace the engine with the same thing. I want to drop an LT1 into it, but untill I have a garage, I may not be able to do that. I talked to a few people on 3rdgen.org It seems that an LO5 350 out of a GM truck is a pretty straight foward replacement for my LO3 305. The 305 harness will even work with the 350. So I think I am going to upgrade to that and probably drop an LT1 cam into it. I still wont have a high HP motor, but I will probably have 30-40 more hp than what I had before.

Ill keep you guys updated.

Best of luck with it.... and at least ya got a GS to have fun with in the meantime :D

you still owe me a beer from that day :p

I know, I know. Whens the next meet?

if i were you id go with a 350, throw some vortec heads on and a larger cam than an lt1 cam along with a carb intake, larger injectors, fuel pump and some computer work and put down some serious power out of a TBI ... IMHO

nah im kidding, you dont really. i probably wont be at the next meet anyway

"some computer work"

Thats an understatement. haha

The computer work is what im trying to avoid.

pay 90formulaws6 to do the computer work...he's fckin nasty with tbi motors
