Real Fiero Tech

Looking at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_High_Feature_engine

Looks like the Saab 2.8T (which also came with the F40 6 speed) and the new SRX engine are the same LP9... Very interesting. It also said the 3.6L LY7 weighs 370 lbs as installed, which is pretty fucking light...

Stock for stock, the 3.6 DOHC VVT will kick seven shades of shit out of any other GM V6 ever made, even the almighty GNX 3.8L and Sy/Ty 4.3L (they didn't make 300+HP in stock form, either). When it comes to parts and modding, that's another matter though with the wide availability in a popular perfo...

My last 3.4 DOHC OPS failed in a similar manner, I was about 99% sure my pan gasket never sealed correctly and was spraying oil mist from crank windage at high RPM. there was oil mist sprayed all over everywhere on the front of the engine. I changed it out at the insistence of Chris West when I was ...

No shit? Is this a continuation of the turbocharged 2.8 found in the Saab? I always thought it'd be pretty cool to have a Saab 2.8T drivetrain, and maybe replace the longblock with a 3.6 and retune...

HO-LY Shit... Are you serious about the 4.0? I don't feel so bad about the 3.4 DOHC (which at least is powerful enough to sorta make up for it).

The stuff that the big F comes up with will never stop amusing me.

Second.

Oh, I didn't know you were going for good economy and emissions with it all. That'll certainly add to the humiliation factor. What state are you in, anyways? I think my boat engine is on the edge of survival at 6000 WOT RPM as is. We got air once over a wake enough to unload the jet pump and it hit ...

HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Mortal Kombat - BUS BLOODBATH Edition. Somebody totally read my mind on this one...

I talked to a driveline shop who said they could make up a double U joint upgrade driveshaft to help with the problem. Hopefully we'll never need it. My modified Fiero CV axle shaft boot seems to be holding up well as well. The damn thing should be fine as long as the boot never fails.. Of all the t...

Yeah, this thing happens to belong to my mother as well. I don't know how I've managed to keep the damn thing running, but it hasn't been for lack of effort. The 97'+ Mountaineer is all time AWD, and so far hasn't blown the transfer case, though it seems to be a known issue... So far, along with eve...

If I do happen upon a good deal on a good used LT1, it's going into my S-10. Blue Shift is probably right about the torque of the 383, but I'm probably going to save my 17.8cc pistons for a 388.4 cube LT1, save my Vortec heads for a flattop-piston 305 or dished-piston 350, and do RHS 2.02/1.60"...

Time to hate on Ford a little bit. I was working on a 97' Mercury Mountaineer, AWD, 5.0. I was changing fluids when I went to pull the tranny pan and change the filter. I yank on the filter and it comes off in my hands, when I notice this plastic piece laying in the tranny pan - sorta mushroom shape...

DUDE! I just watched that on the news... Haha that punk bitch got served!

Haha thanks. Yeah that was good memories. That was Katie, my girlfriend at the time. She even helped torque the headbolts on the engine.

I'd write a V8 R-Chee version just for you Shaun but I ran out of time!

Heh, I figured I'd throw up the little song I wrote for Valentines here... Bear with me on this one... I had a nice chest cold going on, and am trying to play guitar without all the fingers on my left hand... But hey, what the hell, give it a listen. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/user/K0wK1lla#p/a/u...

The 335 would be neat, only because people would be like WTF is a 335? What about that 4.3L V8 from the Caprice's of the 90's? I dont know what aftermarket or anything about them, but it would be different. Wasn't that an LT1? I think I've seen a couple at the yard. An LT1 of any variety would prob...

Pick a good plan you've slept many a night on, and stay the course. I lost count of how many projects I started and never finished, and how much money that all equals. I love the 383 in my boat, and it almost departs the water coming out of the hole, but I think big cubes/stroke is the wrong directi...

I guess this is that "Change" and "Hope" we've all been hearing about?
