Im not sure. But for for the gains if I was you I would just get some 1.6:1 roller tip rockers and leave it at that. Something such as this.

There is so many different types out there and brands but it gives you a idea on what will work.

 

just buy roller tipped rockers for a small block chevy , and then u reuse the rocker pivot ***** off ur stock rockers

 

ok with the 1.6 rockers will i need longer pushrods?

 

You can still use the stockers IIRC.

 

The best way to tell would be buy a pushrod length checker. That way you know exactly what length you need instead of just being in the ballpark. They're only $20 or so on Summit.

 

the change from 1.5 to 1.6 wont require longer or shorter pushrods
geometry will still be acceptable

 

Alright and what's a good place to buy .30 over pistons?

 

I got speed pro .030 overs from summit for 140 bucks shipped.

 

would you happen to have a part number?

 

For a 3.4L .030 over on iron heads right?

 

yes sir

 

This should be them for ya. A tad more then the ones I got but I was getting 30 overs for a 3100 gen 3.



L32 S code is a 1993-1995 3.4L Iron headed F-body.

Open up that link and make sure that those are .030 overs. Im not accustom to the bore of a 3.4L. Add .030 to the standard bore and make sure I got the right ones up there for ya.

 

Well was heading home from work today o n the highway and a bunch of black smoke and sparks shot out my exhaust and she won't start. An omen to replace the engine or could this be an easy fix?

 

That's no good. Check the oil level, look in the ex pipe for oil. Could just be a timing issue though.

I had the reluctor come apart on my dizzy when I was coming out of the burn out box last summer at the track. It backfired so bad and ran like crap. Now just imagine doing that reving the car at 5k with the line lock on and then when you let off the line lock it does that. Literally flames where shooting out.... so it may be something like that or related.

Does it idle well?

 

It won't even start at the moment and no it always idled high

 

Could be alot of things man. Did you get it to your house?

 

Yeah just got it here

 

thats good! Are you planing on tearing it down or is it still a car you need to drive?

 

It's my dd

 

dang. check the timing if you can. Have some one cranking it over and check it at the same time. Also remove the cap and look over the rotor and such for anything that doesnt look right.

 

Hopefully its not a valve train issue.

 

Yeah I hope not

 

bought the magnum 1.6 roller tip rockers and high energy push rods last night so expecting them within the next week to arrive. I'm closing in on all the parts I need only a few more that I can think of is piston, valves, and valve springs. Waiting for this weather to break so I can start the tear down of the 3.4 and then have it bored out and cleaned up. Then start the swap.

 

So i have just about everything now..... only thing left is valves, pistons, and just taking the engine in to get it bored and cleaned

 

Awsome. When you get that engine back from cleaning it will look like new. I was tempted to eat off of mine just to say it i did it because it was so clean.

 

Just bought the msd 6al ignition box...... Is there anything else I should get for the ignition to go with it?

 

The only things I would suggest is a wire adapter and a msd coil.

You dont have to get a wire adapter as I didnt use one but it will make it easier to unwire the box if you sell it or have to trouble shoot the ignition system.

If you dont get instruction with the box you can get them off msds website for free. Not to hard to wire it up. Here is a adapter iirc. Might want to double check the application because I dont want you to get the wrong one.

Yeah I bought that adapter as well...... The car still isn't running and I think the icm army out again so I'm going to hook up the box to see if it does the trick

 

You still need a good working icm for the ignition to work correctly. Its common for those puppys to go out.

 

Great Idea subscribed, looking forward to seeing the pics when posted and reading what you've done.

 

yeah i've been through 3 in the last 6 months..... i use a decent amount of dielectric too and it still doesn't work. I think I might have some other wiring issue. But that will all be dealt with in the next month or so when I put the new engine in

 

yeah its going to be a few years before the entire car is done but it'll be sweet when it is.

 

finally got the car back up and running so now I can atleast drive it until I get the new motor rebuilt....... the MSD box and the adapter wires came in so I think I'm going to hook those up this weekend...... do I need an MSD ignition coil as well with that setup?

 

It would definitly be a good addition. One like this would work fine its what i used with my msd 6+

got the whole MSD setup now and I want to install it on my current engine so I have a feel for where to set it up. I'm just not sure where to place the box at. I've tried a couple different spots under the hood now and nothing seems to fit/look right. Has anyone installed it in the middle of the dash under the two center vents?

 

the box is in and set up..... the quick connect harness made things very smooth and easy
