If anyone in the PNW wants to follow budman's lead, I'll offer moral support: CL ad for SVX conversion motor.

Oh stay away from those 3.3 s. They are heavy and only put out 200 or so hp. I bet my engine is 50 lbs lighter.

Can you flip the intake and move the alternator so you don't have to cut the rear firewall?

I see, but you don't need power steering. I'm sure you could figure out how to move the alternator over there. Or just cut the fire wall if you are ok with that.

They put out 230 hp and are lighter than a porsche six.

If I remember right the 3.3 uses 2.2 stuff and the 30r has offset rods which means no aftermarket rods for boosting.

You can ceramic coat the tubes you've already started with. The LT1 motor mount uses a heat shield that looks like a turbo blanket. You might want to put one on your motor mounts if they are going to be that close to the headers.

The 3.3 did use the 2.2 stuff, but the 3.0r does not have the offset rods, the 3.6r has them, the 3.0r is one the one you want to make big power as there is aftermarket pistons, sleeves, and rods unlike the 3.6r.

Great info. It sounds like you are on your toes on this swap. I truly think this is a better swap in the 914 mostly because of the sound of the 6. I do think the suby tranny is also the way to go.

The 3.3 uses same aftermarket rods that are available for the ej20 and 2.2 but you should have a set of six rods balanced. You can also use the 2.2 pistons but your compression will be way to low and they are not forged. very nice aftermarket stuff is available for the 3.3 like high capacity/low clearance aluminum oil pans, forged pistons in 8.5,9.5,11.0 ratios, forged rods, Several performance cams. Computer software for turbo and NA applications for factory computer. all the aftermarket clutch components from the 2.0's too.

I think this guy might disagree. 3.3 flat six

Okay, Guess what guys. NOW Link ECU is only dealing through one guy in CA named Neil....and....they raised their prices to $2500 bucks from $1500 for the Extreme ECU. What a crock! Storm is now $1450-1500 from $950.

Does anyone have a better connection? I guess Link just hired a new VP and he's rasing prices across the board, thats also for their Renamed ECU Vi-pec v44 and v88.

I am getting the extreme, because i can justify it, since i got a Screaming deal on my engine, but its definately a few weeks out now.

Greedy VP's. Ya think if they just lowered it, they could corner the whole market and everyone would have a LINK ECU in their sandrail or kit car.

I'm not up on link but isn't that what outfront sells? They may have what you want in inventory and may give you a better price. For 2500.00 I probably would learn megasquirt or try another brand. SDS or whatever will support cam timing.

I sent you a PM a week or so ago with a link from NASIOC about a Kiwi Link dealer offering a group buy. OK if they get a group going, but if you don't want to wait you could buy singles from him as well.

Edit: Oh, just went over there to get the link and see you've posted in the thread, so you got the PM. Did you try to contact Dave? Any answer back, or is that now a dead end?
