well thanks very much shanec, i'll imagine that beer coming my way tonight lol.

What do you figure the total cost is for this project?

hammeron

well total cost the way i did it, is shown in the parts list of the writeup. it's going
to vary a little depending on where you get your parts and whether you go with
ARP hardware or OEM TTY hardware.

basically it's a good chunk of change.....

Definately possible.

You would also have to change out the wiring harness and computer since the 4v uses a different PCM and wiring harness.

I ahve seen it done. However, if you are wanting to make big power, the 3v heads flow just a smidge under the 4v heads and actually make more under the same boost with certain blowers.

If you put a good set of cams on the stock heads, or ported your heads or pruchased a new set of ported heads, you would make a huge amount of power.

Hammeron,

was looking for the parts list with a break down. Couldn't find it.

siggyfreud

I didn't see it either.

Hammer, you should join me over at PSI (hopefully on Friday afternoon) for a dyno. We'll do a dyno face-off!

Seems strange in the grand scheme of things that a new shortblock is cheaper than a supercharger. Or...guess I should say it seems strange that a supercharger is more expensive than a short block.

hammeron

it does sound like fun! i have a tuning guru of my own though and he's gonna sprinkle his magic dust over my engine, sometime in the next week or two.

i'm expecting 480-490rwhp with a conservative tune.

hammeron

not to worry, shane dug it up....guess i didn't hide it well enough lol.








i hear ya, but superchargers are nice and shiny and produce more smiles than boring, old blocks of aluminum.

siggyfreud

I agree. Except when they go boom. Then it's not so boring.
