nazar Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well the engine cam 2 days ago and i finally ripped into it today, pulled all the wiring off, all the lines and hoses. Pulled the manifold off, valve covers and heads. The heads already have GM 1.6 roller rockers. I think the springs are stock. Interesting enough, the engine has already been rebuilt, the pistons look to be forged(almost positive) and say .030 on top, the cylinders measure 4.020 or so....the cylinder walls look nice and have all the cross hatch marks on them. The cylinder heads are untouched and I will most likely be sending them out to advancedinduction.com for their full street port, polish, valves and valve job, port matched manifold and I will have them put in the comp cam 986 dual valve springs for the comp cam 230-236 xe cam im getting(570/565 lift) cams This should be good for about 380-400whp not to mention I believe I already have a 383 stroker(rods look aftermarket as well, i will measure the crank to know for sure tomorow) Hopefully i did good on this engine buy, i got it on ebay from a car yard who didnt know much about the engine being modified already:) My t56 is showing up tomorow. Im kind of scared of the power, i see well setup camaros with this sort of head/cam package runing 11's at 3400lb!!!!! I cant imagine this engine when it goes into my 2350lb 240z.... Still undecided about wiring...whether i will get a harness or hack the stock one. I also ordered a walbro 255 hp external pump and some 8an hoses...i will do a sump on the stock tank with 8an feed and return lines....jeez, so much work.....my head hurts...one day, one day i will be driving this beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRJoe Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You may want to check out the Megasquirt info for the ECU. If I ever have to change the ECU I'd go with the Megasquirt, I may even put it on the Jag V12 I've got. Check out the Megasquirt forum for more info. It might simplify your wiring task. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73LT1Z Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I can help... don't spend the hundreds on an aftermarket harness. I posted a thread here that has a MS Word document that has most of what you'll need to know to do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
