Has anyone installed a TCI Rattler on their V6's? I went onto Jegs website, and it came up under the '87 Camaro V6 application. Went onto Summit's website, and of course it isn't listed as being applied for our engines; this isn't uncommon though. The balancer is part# TCI-870022
There was 1 member trying to sell one not to long ago, though. 91convert I would see if 69charger383 still has his, if you still want to go that direction.
I want to take off the FI and put a regular manifold and carb either a two or a four barrel on my V-6, 2.8 engine, and want to put a set 3.1 head instead of what on there now, also I am having a problem with the rear end sagging so much wide tires are rubbing the inner fender wells. Can any
body out there that can help me or point me in the right direction with these problems.
first i would start with springs and shocks back there and if you're thinking of racing it go with some double adjustable panhard bars for like 300 for all helps you hook better.
Hi can you give me the link to webpage that is selling Full rebuild gasket set for 3.1 engine?
it would be also great if you could advise me gasket set of which brand is better.
thanks
i am about to be rebuilding my engine in my 2.8 and i am going to go with a different cam than stock, but dont know which would be better this lunati one from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUN-06312/ or this comp cam set from them http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-K16-232-4/ . any suggestions? i am also going to be putting the pacesetter headers on there and bringing the exhaust straigh back, x-piping it close to the diff and then bringing it into a magnaflow 2 inlet 2 outlet muffler. sound good?
That Comp Cam set is the usual "set" price, but also on the expensive side. I purchased the Crower CompuCam stage 1 for mine which has a comparable rpm range, but with a higher lobe separation angle for better fuel economy; 114 degrees instead of the 110 that the CompCam has. 112 degree lobe separation angle is the factory stock spec which with everyone else factory set is suppose to give 28mpg I believe. A good cam better than the comp cam would be the Edelbrock or Melling which have good numbers for your future dual exhaust set-up.
Question for you though: How would you run your dual exhaust from headers designed for use of a Y-Pipe. The drivers side of the headers are not straight downward angled to run straight back down the car from.
Also, I'm not sure how earlier model headers are shaped. Maybe they both evenly run straight back for what your wanting to do. I do know however, that they will not have the EGR connection on them.
i am not fully sure on the way i am giong to set the exhaust up yet, but i am sure i can figure it out. probably going to run the drivers side in a little bit towadrs the driveshaft then about a foot before the diff i will x-pipe it then go over the axle into the muffler. but with the cam situation i am not looking for a ton of performance, just a bit more and still get fair gas milage sinc i dont get that good of gas mileage now
