perfecseal Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Ok so heres the deal.. I just got a 2.8 ltr out of an 88 camero rs and the auto tranny with it.. So what I want to know is can I tear down one of my spare 3.1 turbo tgp motors and after a refreshing and a few new parts , Put all the 3.1 stuff (crank , pistons, heads ect..ect.. ) on the rwd 2.8 block.. I dont know what I am goin to put this combo into yet but small light and RWD ++ turbo or if room allows Twin turbo... I love my TGP till i nail it at a stop sing and spin the tires off so this is my chance to see how fast this combo can be with traction.. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 It's not exactly that straightforward I don't think. the iron head 2.8 motors are gen 1's.. I don't know if the heads/pistons will fit right clearance wise. You couldn't use any of the TGP parts anyway besides the turbo. crossover, downpipe, etc would be unusable. it'd end up being fully custom setup. I'd post on 60degreev6.com and get everything straight. Quote

Garrett Powered Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 I would like to see this. only the motor can only be out of a 90 TA in a 87 GP body. still dont make no sense.... ...how bout a 85 buick motor, then it wouldnt be all pontiac. but would more likely happen. If you dont mind parting out a t-type. cant believe I posted on this thread Quote

mfewtrail Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 There are a lot more than 12 in MN . The North seems to have the most TGP's, specifically from MN over to about NY. I know of about 12 or 13 TGP's in GA, the majority are located near Atlanta... Quote
