Okay... this is going to be the first engine Ive ever built. Im thinking that if I get a standard 3.8 block that it doesnt have the turbo return holes setup, and that the block may not be able to handle the stress of turbo/turbo's
Im sticking to a budget of $2,000 to start and im relying on you guys to help me out. I was thinking if i get a junkyard block or get mine reconditioned, what GN parts will work on this engine (ie cranks, valvetrain, cams, flywheels, headers, turbos, valve covers, ect.) Im probably getting in WAAAY over my head but I want to attempt to do a twin turbo setup, the problem is is finding the proper exhaust headers.
So will the above GN parts work on this block???
1) I wanted to go t-type or gn heads ported and polished With valve covers
2) Smokey yunick or offenhauser hi-rise intake
3) demon 650cfm blow through carb
4) now heres the hard part to go single turbo or twin turbo. I can find 2
budget turbos, and find stock t-type/GN headers but I cant find a good
twin turbo header setup
5) Earl brown covers with a cloyes douple roller timing chain.
6) Oil pump, I dont know......
7) balancer, I dont know....
8) lt1 springs, lifters, ect
9) I found some neat forged pushrods that are never supposed to flex. I also
picked up some dog bones.
10) forged pistons, wrist pins, Journals, connecting bolts
11) I need some rocker arm ideas.....
12) Ill get my transmission rebuilt later.
13) I found several 8.5 rear ends at the local pull-a-part that I might jump on
so gimme your opinons please.... no polluters...... here I go...
