Well I no longer have any plan to use this engine as it was originally going to go in my '85. So I'm looking to sell it. It's a mostly complete motor. The intake isn't bolted on. Stock bottom end, stock heads, stock intake. I pulled the pan and checked the rods, everything looked great, I put a new oil pan gasket on it. Comes with intake gaskets, throttle body, water pump, ECU, engine wiring harness. I believe I still have the injectors and rails. Engine was pulled with just under 100k miles from my friends '95 Z28.

$800 OBO. Also probably willing to trade for something. I can get pictures up sometime soon or I can text or email pictures.

This would make for a good swap project for someone. Or i kinda want it as a back up. HAHA

I have no use for it anymore since I'll be sticking with my LB9 for awhile. Jake, A spare engine is always a good idea Wink

Yeah just create it up and send it over! I'll use it as a coffee table till I need it. Haha! That's a good deal for someone who wants a nice power level increase over tpi, it'll bolt right in and fire up if you do a little wiring work. Instantly solves the rpm problem that tpi has that's for sure.

... so what else would one need to make this work?

Jake could probably chime in on what he needed but off the top of my head at the moment this is what I can think of.

- custom fuel lines from fuel rails to body hard lines.
- custom power steering lines from pump to box and to reservoir.
- radiator hoses from another type of car (don't remember the makes or models that fit off hand)
- 3rd gen engine mounts
- need to repin bulkhead connectors for the new harness.

i'll chime in here too, this motor runs great! i actually pulled it from the car. didn't leak, burn, or dispose any coolant or oil! i can personally vouch for this motor.

Ok I'll chime in,
I built an entire new wiring harness including fuse box and relay box because i'm a crazy person but its not required.
Ecm flashed to remove vats and rear o2 sensors
Bank 1 and 2 oxygen sensors
New radiator hoses
I used the 4th gen power steering hose, I just bent the hard line to fit but the fittings are the same.
Throttle cable is different, I have mine rigged for now but am trying to work out a good solution to that one.
Use your stock 3rd gen motor mounts
You have to either hey an AC delete pulley or make a dent in the cross member to clear the AC compressor as well as grind the passenger motor mount a hair to clear.
Fuel lines have to be made, I used high pressure efi hose and efi hose clamps Amy it works fine. I'd like to get custom metal ones made but since I went from crossfire to lt1 it wouldn't work unless I swapped hardliners from a tpi car.

That's about it that I can think of. I had a lot more issues that that but that's also because I went from auto to t56. But in hind sight it was totally worth it for the power I got over my tired 305. Plus I got to beat up on my 350tpi iroc buddies. Smile

Did you put it on Craigslist? I'll bet you'd get a call on it.

What trans is the ecm setup for?

DBL_TKE · Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 1:11 pm Post subject:

I'm 90% sure its for a T56. Charlie could verify that.

charlie6178 · Posted: Fri May 03, 2013 5:46 pm Post subject:

correct. it was a 6 speed car

Bummer.

What do you mean? Just retune the ECU.

Still have it? I might have a home.

DBL_TKE · Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 11:48 am Post subject:

Indeed I do still have it.

blue89 · Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 8:31 pm Post subject:

Hmm. Thats good for me. Im trying to figure out why this wouldnt be a fun engine to put in an old 2wd suburban. Has it been garaged? Any oil buildup or crud? Ill look to see about getting a vehicle speed sensor for the tranny I have to use. This could be the engine I'm looking for.

DBL_TKE · Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:22 am Post subject:

Yup. It's been stored in my garage, covered up and rotated every once in awhile. No sludge build up at all. If you want any more info or have questions just ask away.
