Wow, Kinda forgot about this thread. Here's the thing. My 'how to hop your V6' (or something like that) and that stated that one could use the 3.1 pistons to raise compression to about 10:1 , but only in the 3.8.. I was more interested in the 4.1. I remember reading of someone using the...

(Ppppsssssst.. Novaderrik. I just built a .060 283 with forged flat top pistons, Comp ex268, Vortec heads (self fully ported w/comp springs) aftermarket carb intake, Ruggles q-jet, 200r4 little higher stall, 3.73 yota rear in a long bed Mighty max.) Kinda excited to finally get it running. The...

I had a 'race shop' here in the memphis area tell me that they could mill about 060 off the head and with the right intake gaskets, the ports wouldn't have alignment issues. BUT, with zeroing the pistons in the block AND then milling the head could run into problems. I remember way before I...

In my old "how to hotrod a V6" it stated to use the stock 3.0 piston in the 3.8 and that really bumps the comp. Near 10:1 since they're flat tops. I can't do that since Im going with the 4.1 (040) You know, i wonder if it would be comparable output between a .040 4.1 and a 030 3.8 using the...

DON'T FLAME ME AS SOME OTHERS MIGHT NEED THIS INFO FOR THE N/A engine. Who knows, on a 3.8 he might be able to chuck them up in a lathe and slightly dish and have them coated, with a thicker head gasket it might come out the way he wants and still have cash in his pocket. 2-300$ sure is better...

This fall I will be finally putting this 4.1 with a th350 into a little Mighty max pu and need some things.. 1-- a matching set of pulleys/bolts 2--alt bracket/bolts 3--air cond bracket/bolts 4--NON computor HEI distributor that's not worn out.. I"ll probably need a couple more things...

I got side tracked a few.. Would you have any, GOOD, pre-compute, HEI distributors? Still @ 38654 Errol

The cap on this odd fire was throwing me. they are just 1-6 consecutive around the cap, molded in. E

I KNOW.. Dang-it.. Well, now i gots one to sell.. I'm up wif da hi port stuff yo. (sorry, this place gets to me, and I have to vent) Too bad that I can't take it back for a credit. Thanks again for your help.. You must have 3 of you to answer all these posts that I read. Hey, So...

I kinda figured that.. I just didn't want to spend the extra $ to buy a 'new' one. BUT, they do sell a Pertronic point replacement unit for the oddfire..?:D I'd like to see what it looks like ANywho, the thing that gets me on the 90/120 is that to me it shouldn't matter to what raised...

Now I was just at a yard and scrounging around looking for an older V6 and saw tons of the earlier intakes.. Can't remember which was which (they all look alike to me except 4 the Caddy) I think if the intake bolts will line up then one could theoreticly (?) just swap the throttle body over to...

??.. I thought I did.. I'll do that right now.! OH, btw. I found a 60+ Special with a V6 in it and nabbed that one. The lower gear is barely mared. So now it's off to find a Pertronics II or III that will fit. OK, so on this one, there are the six raised portions. 3 sharp and 3 FAT.. The...

Thanks for the invite sir.. I'm kinda short now too. Gotta get this truck running (big 96 chevy) before the end of the month, haul some stuff to scrap, clear out the garage and weld in my hitch yadda yadda.. I'm not reall happy unless I got 10 irons in the fire and hundreds more planned...

I DONT' KNOW WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING.. I GET SIGNED OFF AFTER JUST A FEW MINS.. AND Lost a whole big letter reply:confused: that I really don't feel like typing again. Yes AJ, It will be going into a 88/89 Mitsubishi Mighty Max.. I've built it up some but, it was a 1-ton and I just cut the...
