Anyone hear of the 3.4dohc having 275hp originally?

Since we're talking about rare cars... did anyone see that "modern" El Camino they did using a Z34 body and chopping the roof and clearing the trunk out, basically making a truck bed?

I remember seeing it a while back... don't remember where though.

Also, that pic is of the 1990 concept, isn't it? It was at the Fiero 20th anniversary meet earlier this year I believe.

You can dig up all kinds of pics of it on Pennocks.

I may as well start the rumor now about the prototype X-11 that had 250HP It was a chip and exhaust upgrade over stock. The factory didn't want it killing Corvette sales, so it was quietly destroyed.

hahaha, yeah, its always the chip, and something else:P Yes, that was 89-90, not 85-86 cause the engine was either not though of, or very early stages of prototypes.

That think was ugly as shit, it looked like a chop top minivan...

But..it is somebodies passion. I've seen people proud of making a Limo out of a Pacer! But, this thread has gotten way off track. Seems like every newbie that joins, (Including myself), finds the same site about the 275 HP, 3.4. I was SO excited! Only to have my hopes dashed against the rocks.

Well... don't worry guys. When I'm a millionaire I'll have 40 sets of cams made with different specs, just to play with, and I'll figure out how to get 100HP/L out of our engines.

I won't trade my Z34 in for a Mclaren F1... ... I swear...

Yeah me too. Heres the site. Is the 3.4 DOHC really a "hemi" though? http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/34Performance/dohc.html

[SappySE107]

Its a hemi head design. Dodge just owns the hemi name but they don't own the design.

i was under the impression that all or at least most DOHC motors have hemispherical combustion chambers
