Still debating to build a 2.0 or 2.4 or 2.7 or say fuch it sell it all and get a 3.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
To me the bottom line $$$ looks almost the same. For a 3.0: What would I need to keep for the clutch and PP (9bolt fly) that works on a 901? What would I need to buy from KEP? Should I be grabbing anything else from the donor engine ? I'm looking a a few engines, #1 a 3.2 that's a bit beyond my budget, #2 an unknown 3.0 longblock core, spins fine, I suspect a broke headstud(s) #3 a good used stock 3.0 euro sc with CIS, #4 a hot rod 3.0 with webers newer top end w/JE's I'm reading all the pro's and cons, yes JP.... Santa did bring me Wayne's book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) What would be your order on my engine choice list above? Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

One thing you should budget is to have the stock 3.0 ignition distributor reworked to optimize for carbs. Barry Hershon ( Michigan ) or Jerry Woods ( California ) are two of the better known names that do this service. I have used both and for complete refurb either will charge about $500.00. Yes it's $$$ but I have been told that if you use a stock distributor from CIS that it's not going to run well with carbs, not sure if true but I wasn't taking a chance. I believe Henry at Supertec also provides this service. Slippery slope indeed don't even ask me how much I have invested into my GT clone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .

Dizzy comes with it, but if I have to spend $500 it's Megajolt jr. or MS and run ignition only. GM coils are dirt cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

[Dizzy comes with it, but if I have to spend $500 it's Megajolt jr. or MS and run ignition only. GM coils are dirt cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Bad idea....trust me. MSD all the way, fat wires, & plugs gapped to .045-.05. You do want to run it with carbs, eh?.....it took me 6 months to figure this out ....with help. If you use the CIS cams you may get away with mega-chump. I will explain why if you want.. |
