Hello Everyone... Just wanted to share the progress on this engine swap as it comes close to being finished... and get some feedback and hopefully learn a few things. And also hopefully share what I've learned so far over the last few years that I've been tinkering with this swap.
Still have quite a few details to get done, but so far this is a quick run-down:
-'87 Truck 302 Block - '80s FMX transmission w/ TCI breakaway converter
-RPM 347 stroker crank & Rods, Probe forged Pistons - .040" over
-ARP head studs, Main Studs, Flex Plate bolts, Cam Bolt, Belt Housing Bolt, & Oil pump rod
-1/2" Main Girdle, bigger valves, double valve springs, Scorpion Roller rockers, Comp Cams Camshaft
-60lbs Deka Inj.... Wallboro in tank pump... Tomei press regulator... Mishimoto IAC...T70 Turbo.. Accell DFI gen 7 (not yet installed)...
Tired of writing... lots of custom fab work to chassis... Aluminum driveshaft, factory rear (for now)
Lots of one off stuff... Have tons of pics that I will upload later...
I am now in the process of deciding how to run my fuel lines, then finish the vacumm system, then I need to tear dash apart and install engine management system, and I haven't figured out what I want to do about gauges yet... but I don't have much left... just a bunch of wiring, and all the time consuming details, and tuning.... Except for an alternator mount, most of the fabbing is done.
Well that's a short run down... What ya think so far?
