4spdz34 Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 i'm picking up my dohc crate engine today, anyone have suggestion on modifications? i'm not talking like a underdrive pulley, i mean like custom pistons, and speacial head gaskets for boost. i wanna run a turbo with 15 psi or have high compression, if i ran the turbo i would drop the c/r to 8:1 prob. but any suggestion would be nice thanks Quote
Robby1870 Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 I think a high CR DOHC would be pretty neat. like 11:1 or something, but its up to you. Bore it out, P&P heads and intakes, stuff like that Quote
Vegeta Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 Porting the heads and cleaning up the combustion chamber will do you pretty well, especially with boost. I have some pics of the heads I just did for my car if you want to see them. Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Posted October 8, 2003 ya that would be great ben, i would like to see those. i also read somewhere you wer getting cutom cams done, is this true? where can i send mine to get done if anywhere? if i went high compression it would be 12:1, i don't care if i have to run 93 octane, fine by me as long as its fast. anyone know where i can get 96+ upper intakes? thanks Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 i can't tell how much i payed for my crate or where i got it from but i will say i none could ever find this good of a deal it was cheaper than a junkyard motor Quote
J Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 i have a brand new gm crate with 0 miles on it for about $1200 does aht beat your deal? later jay where in Mi u from?! Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 i live in macomb michigan, 1200 dollars doesn't even come close. Quote
toastyghost Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 i can't tell how much i payed for my crate or where i got it from souds free to me I can put two and two together... "I can't tell" meaning "I plead the fifth". Quote
MaroonRegal Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 A couple of blowjobs, that's what he payed. It's not how much money you've got, it's who you sleep with. Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 haha, as much as i would like to comment on how much i payed i can't. but i will let u guys decide what i got it for Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 ok back to topic anyone here know if the make total seal piston rings for this motor or if they have to be custom made? and another thing i thought the pistons on the 95 blocks wheren't dome, cause this is a 95 block(i checked the numbers to make sure) and the pistons come above the deck!!! :shock: prob about 1mm, i was like holy shit.

Im assuming they will have total seal rings for the DOHC. They have them for basically everything else Quote
4spdz34 Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 are sealed power rings the same as total seal rings? cause they have sealed power Quote
Robby1870 Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Hmm.....I thought they had Total seal. I really dont know if they are the same, but Sealed Power are good rings too Quote
Vegeta Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 i cant tell you where I got the cams done:P 500 bucks though and I dont have a clue what the new specs are. I asked but no reply...figures. They are regrinds. The pics are up here http://www.60degreev6.com/dohcheads total seal makes them, or at least they have because they are in my engine right now. Nico put them in when it was his car. There is a crate 96 engine on ebay for 600. Anyone that pays 1200 is either stupid or desperate for a new engine IMO. You can rebuild an engine with stock parts for 1200 and it would beat a crate engine. Besides, didnt you want 1000 for that before? Good luck selling it, they go on ebay for about 750-850 when they are on there. Quote
J Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 my buddy over at Diamond pistons could have a set made for ya. Oh i live at 14 mile and schoenherr later Jay Quote
