depending on which manual tranny you go with, wont you have clearance issues with the xover and bellhousing?

btw, not a bad mod list you have for yourself.

and how are you going to hook up a turbo to that or are you going S/C
there is more room than there is with the auto actually.
and I'm still planning on using a whipple 1600AX supercharger

Thats a lot of hardware... those head ports look a lot better than stock....you just need a proper cam to go with them :P

:cheers: good luck with it, assembling is the easy part, tuning is the hard part :P
cam is on order and with any luck should arrive in about 5-6 weeks
make no mistake there is nothing easy about what I'm doing
tunning wont be that bad really
I'm investing in a wide band O2 and she may even be broke in on a dyno.

hardest thing is my R&D
I have sooooo much time wrapped up in this allready just finding part or having them made

except a turbo would be good with the manual tranny so only he knows :thumbsup:
not as good as you would think
I've experienced close to this platform with a manual and sc and its a great combo

I like instant power.
turbos are cool and I still want to play with one some time. I just cant stand lag. and turbos still take power to make power, but there is no way arround the exhaust restriction they create. There are ways to lessen drag on the engine from a supercharger.
that and too many people have turbos arround here
I've never owned one and the sound of them is old to me.
I figure I'm taking a car that gets little respect on the streets and wiping the smerk off their face, I might as well use a power adder that gets little respest.
not many people have messed with twin screw sc's
they are fairly new to the automotive industry. but what I've seen I love.

uhh i believe there are plenty of turbos and supers for the ecotec. the ecotec has the biggest aftermarket.

also, springs is that a dual friction clutch?

John,

Nice to see you are finally getting to the finish line on all the work you been putting into it.

Did you end up oversizing both valves? and by how much?

I hope TOG's new ceramic coating is better than what they used to use. The old coating, or at least the batch I got mine from, seemed like it had impurities that caused minor rust.

a screw supercharger...isn't that what the millenia S's had? that was one powerful engine for being 2.3L.

i was thinking the same thing, i see v6 headers, a clutch, flywheel.......awesome, to bad gm only put a stick to the smaller engine, alero could have been a pretty fast car with a 3400/5 speed

TOG should warranty your headers
if you want the new coating let me know
I can have yours redone in the new stuff.
intake and exhaust valves are lager but not by much. not sure the exact spec.
we went with another company since manley took so long on the last set of heads

I am trying to rebuild my engine and was wondering about what works in terms of upgrading engine internals on 3.4L
I am looking for:
Camshaft and its specs
Valves and their specs
Valve Springs & Retainers and their specs
Rocker Arms and their specs
Pistons and Rings and their specs
Rods and their specs
Lifters and their specs

I am also wondering how much over on bore I should go and about the heads. Can you please post some recommended engine internals specs as well as vendors? Thanks.

JE is who did my pistons they are totally custom being that my motor is now stroked
rods are modified small block chevy
you cant bore the engine too much because stock its pretty close to max.
www.60v6.com has some good info
www.j-bodyperformance.com has some internals that will work
much of what I've done is custom, one off, or modified from another application
