Just bought an engine...
 

Yup, another might 3800. The plans are for a strictly N/A build (crazy cam and built heads and intake are definitely in order). I probably won't start working on it until Fall at the earliest. Stay tuned.

cool :)

trying to make the V6 power adder crowd even more crazy by actually doing engine work?
considering you are already faster than most head and cam and power adder cars with just externals, i can't wait to see where this goes :)

are there any parts out there to make it a stroker?....a 4.0 or whatever it would be would be cool as hell.

They do have a 4.1 stroker kit, however it is a reground stock crank and I have been lead to believe that it would be inadvisable to use it. Also it is rather costly ($1500) which includes rods and pistons.

the stroker kit from ZZperformance is fine, but it isn't strong enough to stand up to forced induction or nitrous. For an N/A motor, though, it would be perfect.

yeah, i dont think the stroker kit is worth the money, i'd rather go turbo :)

i belive they are coming out with a forged version soon, id just wait for that

Goddamnit I always have the ideas and not the money... :P nice man

What stroker crank are the turbo Buick guys running? They make tons of power so I'd think the stuff would be reliable.

I don't think any of the series I and series II parts swap.

Can't wait for this buildup Craig....next season will be even more fun than this one :twisted:

i cant wait to see your monster runnin

maybe, if you can get outta church on time and dont get another transfer :roll:

craig and i have been talking about how it would be cool to build a motor for a while. i hope it is something he can get to at the end of the season. with how quickly he is making progress already i can't even imagine where he will end up with a built motor, 10's? maybe even 9's?

i dont know, the fastest to date ive heard of for the 3.8 fbody was low 11s, and that was with dumping a ****load of money into the motor, so i dont know if he can reach lower than that or else hed break a record.

i think that was the idea from the start :shock:

Are you talking about Shirl? She's got nitrous and a blower on a car that weighs 3800 lbs and has next to nothing for suspension prep. It's a show car.

Re: Just bought an engine...
 

Craig, i don't doubt that you are gonna go all out. I cant wait to see ur car in the 12's,11's, 10's whatever.

i think 12.99 with the engine hes got in the car now is not out of the question...now add on a couple hundred hp :shock:

I wouldn't add a couple hundred hp....remember, this is going to be an all out N/A motor. It will be interesting to see how it sounds once the cam and heads are done....nice lopey v6 idle :)

- Justin

a couple hundred is pushing it, but an additional 100-125 woudl be easy with a matched head and cam motor. that woudl prolly be enough to push teh car to mid 12's as it sits right now, much less the way the rest of teh combo will be by the time the motor is prepared. :)
