    Default l67 to ecotec

    Hey just wondering if it is possible to get an l67 engine take the supercharger off it and throw a l36 top end on it keeping the strengthened internals in the motor for a different kind of supercharged engine like a raptor or something cheers

    Yes this is possible, but the Eaton M90 is much better than the Raptor (no offence to Raptor or anything, they make a great product). You would be better off running the L36 bottom with the Raptor (this is also what they recommend as far as I know).

    Ecotecs are built to take around ao pound of boost stock (Buick GNX was tubocharger - running the same engine)
    nothing wrong with L36 bottom end

    L67 and ecotec heads are exactly the same except the L67 have the injector boss's drilled to suit. (check your ecotec heads, the injector boss is there, just not drilled)
