Difference was massive when i swapped the original diff for an LSD 3.7, especially pulling out of corners.

My car is very very similar, how does it sit on the high way with the 3.7 diff? and did u put an auxiliary speedo in or get ur speedo corrected?

fair out that is soo nice yeah i reckon a ss kit keeping with the calais paint will looks sweet, and with ur questions about the motor def go a v8 over a na six although a super six is quicker than a na v8 so i would go super six but hey its all up to u

Well i've got started on the engine project. After going on cruises with V8's and seeing how much more fuel they use i've decided the long-term enjoyment factor versus the long term expense isnt really warranted.

I considered a supercharged V6 but i think i'll just go with a reliable high comp NA v6 with cam and head work. I've got the engine stripped down to the block and i'm at the point where i need to talk to someone about cam specs and how much compression i'm gonna need to get the most out of it, also whether i'm going to get that compression from shaving the heads or whether i'm looking at flat top pistons.

Ok guys it's all happening now.


Block has been cleaned, tested, decked and honed to size. I've got the flat top pistons, all new bearings, double row timing chain and i should have the cam tommorrow. Cam is a custom grind billet similar to a stage 3 crow.

Pics!







Damn surface rust.




The grinding on the inside is where i've lightened the pistons to make them all the same weight.

What it sit on rpm wise cruisin in 5th at 100k's?

 

[maldotcom2]

Well at 110 it revs at 2500. So a bit less than that. It guzzles the fuel on the highway.

you can thank your 3.7's for that.
