Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
I am building a whole new lz9 with the Pauter rods so nothing from this lz4 will transfer over. I'll keep it as a backup for sure or for r&d.

Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap
Doing this swap for Howard. Initial mock up shows there might be a clearance issue with the shift cables for the trans, once the adapter and tb go on. We shall see.
I'll post more updates as the swap progresses.

Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
Maiden voyage with the 3.5 today. She runs good. Sounds healthy. No boost today. I just wanted to see where the fuel trims were going to be vs the 3.9 on a stock cam. A decent amount was pulled on this new tuneup. I don't have exact percentages to share at this time however. We'll see what happens.

I said the same thing to Howard actually.

Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
It still leaks oil and it's def coming from the bell housing area so it's gonna have to come back out.
But I think I'll try to put a couple miles on it first and do some pulls and see how it feels on 14 lbs. Maybe a Dyno just to see where it sits powerwise? Lmk what you think.

Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
Injectors are not leaking. But I seam to have a rear main seal leak, or the rear cam plate has a small leak. I had to remove the cam seal to install the new cam bearings with spacers, so I am leaning that way, however this engines oil pan was covered in oil and dirt when I picked it up so who knows....

Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
Fired it up today. I had Howard over keeping an eye on any potential fluid leaks. Seems to be ok. I might have a small leak at an injector. What I will have to do to verify is to pull the upper intake off to see if anything is leaking. I had pulled the injectors to clean my rails just in case the e8...

Re: LS4 build
Fiero guru built his own new lower cradle and if I recall, there was some weight saving but not as much as I think should have been considering the amount of time it took to build.

Re: Installing 3500, LZ4, for the time being
Progress is slow. It's hot. Very little motivation since I won't be driving it for several more months. But I did get the turbo mounted up today.

My distributor pre oiling tool
Here it is. I didn't make it. I bought it when I had my distributor modified for the lz intake.

I remember that being done a while back. I must have forgotten that it broke too. Cool you ended up with it.

Re: 40th anniversary Dyno results
] I heard the laps were speed limited and no passing allowed -- at all. What the hell is a pace car doing at a track day? Bizarre. That is not a track day. It's a "track day" for fiero owners. Stop hating man. Parade laps are exciting for 60 year old fiero owners who, in the end, wives' w...

Re: 40th anniversary Dyno results
Danyel bought a car that someone else maintained for years. Danyel takes full credit for that. What a douche
Danyel V8 turdbucket wouldn't have won shit. Which is why he got rid of it.
