well after a couple of months of nightmare with my 2v engine found a ggod deal on a 2005 3v engine , initially i sent my motor to be refreshed , ported and polished my stock heads and ordered a bigger cam from comp cams (270h ) that's when my problems began , to make the story short we had to pull the effing engine down three times and the last time i decided i had enough of that **** . made a deal with my long time friend mechanic and i am one happy camper . not only i shaved a couple of hundreds pounds off ,but the car pulls much harder up to 6300 rpm .
mods : underdrive pulleys , jlt intake , bbk x/pipe , magnaflow catback , 4:10 gears and a custom tune .

 

i like it! something different

 

sick dude!!! how much was 3v?

 

Pretty good deal. Did you have any clearance issues?

 

I got the engine for $1000 , and we made a deal , he'll keep my old engine as payment for labor , I kept my bbk long tube headers , which i sold for $ 250 .

 

only clearance issues is the stock hood , I had to buy a cowl hood instead , found one for $ 150 .

 

Nice swap man
