Shyne151 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well a simple phone call of me asking one of buddies if gutting the stock airbox in a grand prix does anything turned into this... Hopefully going on next weekend... still have to buy all the gaskets, a downpipe, and make my intake. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

Wastehog Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hmm, never knew gutting an air box required removing both heads, the push rods, lifters and Upper and lower intake.. who knew.. lol Anyways, was this motor a 3.8 SC or N/a? It seems like it was a SC from the factory.. Also any plans on this new intake your making? 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyne151 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well it's all done and running nice Still needs a better tune, but the guy that is helping me is had a relative recently pass... so he has been busy with that. Pics of the heads all cleaned up and ready to rock: Tore down to the block: After math : So in recap: New injectors, new heads, new valves, new gaskets from th block up, m90 blower, l67 throttle body, custom 3.5" intake, reprogrammed pcm, 3" downpipe, EGR delete, new lower intake manifold, ported mainifolds, removal of alot of brackets, and ohhh yah the transmission out of my old grand prix and switched over to full synthetic... figured might as well everything else is new basically. It's definitely faster and the butt dyno can definitely tell a difference Fun learning experience, never done much with motors. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

Intense S1x cam LS6 springs with Manley retainers Modular Pulley System... starting off with a 3.3 and going from there Rollmaster Double timing chain SSAC Headers Should be a good difference -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

Shyne151 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 a buddy did alot of work to his GTP and.. hes been threw 3 trannys already... may wanna look into getting it built a bit All depends on your driving style... don't do burnouts and hard launches all the time and they are fine. I know of numerous 150,000mile+ 4t65e's still running around on 12second grand prix's... but the tranny is definitely the weakest link in these setups. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

nautical7 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Need to do a wire tuck in that bay! Ha but thats a clean engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman1575 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Nice, mines N/A but I'm wanting to get it completely tore down and rebuilt like you did, just adding intake, headers, and a Stage III chip. Think it's worth it to go to L67 compression if I'm going to stay N/A? POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
