hows this coming along?

ESG-642T · February 3rd, 2009, 02:37 PM

...... So two things I figured out, 3.8L is not enough and I need more cam for my taste (sound wise also) With that said the supercoupe block is coming out.

No bent pushrods here

No lower intake

ESG-642T · February 13th, 2009, 06:09 AM

Well I did figure out what was wrong with the super coupe motor....

Nope it wasn't the pistons or rods:

according to Tom 918, it was the rod bearing, farthest one from the oil pump
