Welcome to the site! Any plans yet for the car?

[C3B2A]

Yea ,i plan on eventually rebuilding and turbo charging the engine. In the end i would like the car to be putting out about 400Hp.

Welcome!

I'll be the first to say it.. 400 HP out of a 3.1 could happen but you'll spend a ton of money and it won't be very reliable.


The 3500 swap is growing in popularity, i was the 2nd to put one in a Jbody (a 91 Z24) and have also helped to put one in a 92 Sunbird and an 89 Z24 locally. With the more modern engine you gain a ton of potential for power and reliability, there is also better aftermarket cam and piston choices so the sky is pretty much the limit.

Are you a member on V6Z24.com?

you leave that poor 3.1 alone, it's trooped along all these years and it probably deserves a break.

put something younger in it 3400 or 3500 + cam/headwork/big turbo will put you up to 350+ whp. more than enough for ANY j-body.

welcome to the site. check out v6z24 like dave said for the rest of the car, but you'll find anything you need for your engine, here.

I think that if you shoot for 300hp, you will be happier, the engine will live longer and you won't be overpowering the transmission and brakes. Believe me, 300 ponies makes for an impressive little inertia party without breaking the tire budget.

300 is realistic streetable power for the MPFI 60* motors, 350-365 made it a project every other time of pushing it hard, dont go over 300 if you want it to live. The SFI engine is the way to go.
