And then they started talking about GNX's, catalitic converters,carb vs tbi, motercycles, ethonal, passing emissions test .etc....

 

Exactly.. paying attention

 

well, youll understand while that is a little off topic it doesnt stray far, as i was concearned when i changed engine i would fail emmisions, depending of if i kept a tbi engine or swapped to a carb, then i abondoned and engine swap and thought about just an induction swap, and if i would still pass emmisions that way. the ethanol and motocycles was them explaining to me why i wouldnt

 

There was a 305 straight-6 from back in the day, but it was a BIG engine, and would not come close to fitting.

If you wanted to be somewhat unique, a 4.3L V6 would be fairly easy to put in, and with the later heads, upgraded SFI system with good injectors, and a good exhaust, they would make way more power than the stock TBI V8 and pass emissions. Theres probably a lot of them floating around in the yards. The models to keep your eyes peeled for are the 96-02 PU/Express Van models with the L35. The 00-02 are the better ones to get if you get the whole system (engine, harness, and PCM). Probably would want to snag the 4L60-E trans as well.

 

you know what man,

i'm still leaning towards the twin hayabusa motor idea.... lol

actually i'm not, but i regret to say i'm growing bored of the thread. will see you guys on other ones. good luck with your build whatever it may be.

 

So you are wanting to do a swap to pass emissions?
How about a tune up?

 

yes, a swap to pass imissions

thanks dimented, ill look into that 4.3 idea, sounds very interesting

what about a tune up?? you mean on my engine for the miss? cause i did that

 

OH!!!! wait, im sorry, i miss understood, i thought you ment a swap that WOULD pass emmisions.

i want that, but its not top priorety as FL dont even have them yet, i just wanna make sure if they do my next engine would pass!...my current engine would probly pass, there is nothing wrong with it.

 

Most anything can be made to pass a sniffer.

Hardly anything can be made to pass a visual.

Goddamn near nothing can be made to pass in Cali.

Quit worrying about smog. Get your V8 running right and enjoy it.

 

lol, thats kinda looking like solution right now. i figure if i want something more unique ill sell it buy something els.

i also agree it is high time this thread is layed to rest

calling it now **10:35 PM 10/26/2011**
