Well i finally got my block back from the machine shop, a twin cam transformed into a Quad
-forged wiesco pistons
-forged eagle rods
-2.3 oil pump swap
GMR has got nothing on this
You'll definitely like it. I LOVE mine
But where they had to drill the new oil passage in the 3rd pic down...it looks JB welded around the plug. Not sure if that's the case...just curious what that is. Also see that you went without the brace for the oil pickup. May not be a big deal, but b/c of engine vibes, I went with it to be safe. What CR pistons did you go with?

And why build the motor and not get ARP main studs???

thankz, the compression is 9:1 cause i WAS going turbo but not now because of some financial setbacks. I do have the brace for it but i didnt put it on there in the pic cause the pump isnt bolted on yet. I do plan to get those ARP Main Studs, is it too late?

Once the main caps are bolted down, it may be too late. I would buy new bearings if you have to take it apart again for ARP main studs.

u dont NEED the arp bolts. its not to late to do it now, but i really wouldnt bother, just get the ARP head studs since the head isnt bolted on yet. was anything done to the head? if not contact pat cleavenger (project pat) on here, he can flow bench port your head, he did a suberb job on mine so i recommend his work.
sucks bought ur financial probs, i was lookn forward to seeing a turbo'd alero on here. great job on the engine man, i know you had quite the time getting it built and what not, but look at your new prized possession, im saying the trouble was worth it. good job sir.
wow thankz i didnt expect this much love, now i feel even better. And my girl just talked me down from getting a six-pack so i can buzzzzzz and relax and feel good, but dont need it now j/k
I havent done anything to the head but i do want to atleast port n polish and yeah get the head studs. Hey zyaaa i love the look of your Z24, i was gonna do payments on one just like that the other day but it was an auto so i turned it down.

stupid question but what makes it a quad, im just curious...noob question lol
All the 2.3L and 2.4L engines are called Quad's. Quad as in 4....4 cyl. It's a GM thing.

i thought so, i wasnt sure lol, i jsut think its odd because 2.0, and 2.2 are 4cyl? lol
I know...maybe it's because the Quads are DOHC and felt they were worthy of the name.

I always thought it was "Quad 4" meaning something like 4valves/cyl and 4 cyls..
either way. I want videos of this motor running. STAT!

Hmm...I never thought of that. That could very well be true.

Ha, you and me both buddy. I still need the following to finish the build:
-Oil pan modify for the pump
-Poweder coat timing chain housing, Quad 4 IDI cover, Intake camshaft housing,
-port n polish head, ARP head studs
-find another 2.3 HO intake manifold cause the one mantapart send me is junk
-buy NEW secret cams
-get the ecotec cold air and modify it to fit my LD9
-etc.
GMR has got nothing on this
Take pics of what's junk about your manifold, I'd like to see.
Also, I've got a true HO mani, HO tb, and the Fontana adaptor that I'm kind of thinking about parting ways with. PM me if your interested.

I like your thinking man, you've done your homework. new cams are a VERY good idea. make sure to get new lifters as well.
I also am very fond of the AEM cai for the eco's done up on a 2.4 w/ the ho manifold. nice n clean looking.
i am doing my own 2.3 oil pump swap, and i was just wondering did they cut any parts of the baffle to get it to fit into the block. i was just wondering because i am have trouble getting my to fit.
thanks
mat
^^If you are talking about the windage tray, no cutting is needed. Just have to bend it inwards a tad bit and it will fit fine.

A twin cam IS a quad4..some changes were made and the name was changed to simply get away from the name that had a bad image at the time so that the engine would sell better...but still considered a quad4 by GM....
