5 cylinder GM ATLAS 3700 build with 4L60e transmission

[A to Z]

A week or two ago, I began an engine and transmission project, thinking there may yet be another rip snorter in my future. Maybe a B210 or maybe a Roadster? I bought a ATLAS 5 cylinder engine, it's a 3.7, or 3700 cc inline 5. lengthwise about the same as a 2000 roadster engine, but yes it is taller. Like my 4200 it is all aluminum, 4 valves per cylinder, dohc, with VVTi on the exhaust cam. I additionally got a 4 speed automatic for it, a GM "4L60e", that is a lock up setup, where there isn't a lot of slush and stuff. I have already gotten some parts for the 3700, and I will post updates on here.

I went ahead and worked on the 3700 today. I removed the balance shafts, and used the Badlands Industries delete kit. I then cleaned up and re-sealed the rear plate, installed the flex plate with a few bolts in case I want to do a compression test later, and then got it on the engine stand. Int he pics you will see the 4 speed automatic trans for it, a lockup unit GM "4L60e", that I will rebuild with all the tough parts and probably a 3000 RPM stall, unsure at this point. PICS:
