My engine blew up

Sort of

I havent posted much lately so i figured id show you guys whats going on at the moment....

















Now the swap isnt happening this winter. Next winter is looking good, so i devised a little plan. As you can see, the motor is in really rough shape. It ran in the car it was taken out of, but a broken boost bypass valve and broken vacuum lines stalled it out. The motor is being rebuilt from the ground up. So take some guesses at what exactly im doing....

Thats tough there. Not sure what you would want to do. Perhaps stroke out the motor or switch out S/C? Those are just my guesses.


I'll have a sig someday....................

Wow. I was starting to wonder why you had a supercharged 3 cyl. until I noticed it was a V6. I'm guessing maybe stroking the motor and adding plenty of performance goodies. Probably going to get a re-paint or polishing before being installed too.

ok, heres whats going on.......

The motor is going to be fully built as i am looking for at least 350-400 hp out of it. The block is being bored and stroked. All new forged pistons and rods, a high lift racing cam, all new valvetrain, lots of machineing including fully ported and polished heads and supercharger, and an endless list of other stuff.

The machine work is first which will be done this winter. Ill be shopping around and coming up with a full layed out plan as to what exactly I will be buying. Im looking to get the motor built and finished this coming summer, just in time to finally get it in this bitch of a car of mine.

and for the other comments...
no!! im not selling it

so, is that a true L67? it sorta dosent look like it with the rattle canned valve cobers and S/C. But overall, beutifull engine with a lot of power potential. Will it run on pump gas?


1971 camaro 427 --- here!

Stock... and loving every minute of it.

Yes its a true L67

The problem with the L67 in my opinion is that it is very de-tuned from the factory. Thats why it has so much room for improvement. The size of the ports in the heads have proven that to me alone. Hell, even the openings in the tiny exhaust manifolds are bigger than the exhaust ports on the heads.

i will warn you meck... make sure you have some way to monitor knock retard...

my friend rashad (the one that has the red gtp that went with us to the show in lewisburg) was getting alot of kr and it's NOT good for the engine. i'd suggest something like an aeroforce scan gauge or some other form of scanner.
