If I wanted your GP to catch fire and sound like ass I would have said so!

Oh that classic!

[SappySE107]

It would of been great if you guys said, "you should've done a L67 swap instead"

Get out of my thread Ben.

[SappySE107]

Yeah, me too. Neither of us has a fiero though so I guess we came to similar conclusions:P

[blackbombshell95]

I considered that once

[SappySE107]

You should have just bought a fiero.

+1 Then put whatever $ left over into a built trans.

could have done a low mileage long block and thrown a turbo on for that and make more power can't couldn't

If I wanted a turbo then I would of gone that route.

That 5300 doesn't including the money I spent for the cam + street/strip heads and valvetrain. Plus ported manifolds and 65mm Tb.

I know its a lot of money but I just wanted to see what the 3400 was really capible of. Its obvious I could of that money on another powerplant and made more hp per $ but then I would be just like everybody else. Only thing that wasn't replaced was the flexplate.

And not only that, i had everything built to brand new. So that this engine will last me for many many many many years to come. I plan to keep this car forever and I want it to drive forever.

Thanks

lmao ... The machine shop I goto takes credit, checks, MO, limbs, & cash.

I could only imagine what my motor would have cost sourcing out. It's nice having your own machine shop



Corey went above and beyond quality, thjough. All the balancing/matching is time consuming. At $45-100/hr for a machine shop to handle these things adds up fast.

Damn, and i thought my $3500 was bad.. by the end of this year i'm expecting to add a grand to that.

two questions... first, how long have you been a male prostitute? second, how many dollars per horsepower did that cost??

(5300 divided by your HP)

anyways, i hope you enjoy it, you undoubtedly spent many cold nights out on that block workin it.
