Slammed68 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 but a northstar is more unique Poop on a stick is unique too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snell1884 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Well it's not "poop on a stick" but I just bought a roush tvs1900 supercharger (Eaton) for 5.3l gmt900 engines. Came with everything...intercooler, lower intake manifolds, larger injectors, cooler plugs...everything. Ad says 450hp/450ft.lbs. With a cam change guys are getting 500. The LC9 5.3l is all aluminum. Now I just need to save my pennies. Edited June 10, 2010 by snell1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zBoy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We owned a 1996 cadillac sts stil last year. Got to 140,000 miles with 89 octane (requires 93 i believe) and was awesome. The emissions system and electrical in the car started to freak so we got rid of it but that motor is pretty amazing. Can't be dissapointed at getting 140k out of it though and the issue probably starting with are decision to run a lower octane haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I know it's an old thread...But here is some current info. I am building my 240z with a 4.6 DOHC Ford right now and have picked up a Northstar Aurora 4.0L (for my next Z)that was recently rebuilt with inserts etc. I also pick up a set of Vin.#9 cams, springs and big valves. The 4.6's are usually wasted blown head gaskets, heads lifting (due to head bolts pulling the aluminum threads, cracked block and more...The Aurora is basically a 4.6L or 4.4L that hasn't been bored out so I'll be putting in some low compression FORD 4.6L pistons (90.2mm 8.5:1 pistons and the Aurora's are 10:1's w/ 89mm bore)and I have a GT-500 supercharger...And if you want to turbo or supercharge it??? I would get the early 1994 ish intake manifold (solid magnesium outside and take the plasic runners out and put a water to air intercooler?...no plastic outsides and no flapper door on the back (for backfires)...Also if you can find a late 2003 crank (same for all) it's forged steel. You can run: a Jeep NV1500, AX-15, NV3550, R154, R150,GM MA5, ISUZU AR5, Borg warner 5 speed Ford/Chevy five speed. For the non-Borg Warners use the mid to late 90's Dodge Dakota 4 cyl bellhousing and for the Borg Warners use the V-6 60 degree bellhousing but I would run the world class T5 from a v8. PS I have schematics...Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
