Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
depends on the powerband you want.
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
Well which spark plugs do you guys recommend for the swap?
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
Honestly I would START with AL605's. After your first oil change I'd go a tad cooler...you can toss NGK TR55's in there but I always just stick with the copper route...AL104's.

Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
TR55's are TR5's gapped to 0.59" from the factory...
They're still copper.
You're going to need stuff for your vacuum lines.
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
with those headers your probably gonna need to get an 02 extension most likely!!

Ok when you say that what STUFF do I need?
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
Some vacuum line between maybe 5/64's and 7/64's and one 3/8" hose for the evap.
And a T fitting to go between the LIM nipple and the FPR and the MAP sensor.

you dont need a 3/8" hose for the evap. you can use your existing evap lines. you shoulda nabbed the vacuum lines off the L67 you took apart.
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
you kinda do.
the only thing that should be coming off the TB nipple is the evap. Everything else either gets vacuum from the cap on top or the nipple on the LIM.

I got it today. :th_winking:
Re: Top Swapping I have questions.
don't reuse any of the stock vacuum tubes, most likely they are dried out and cracked. buy new rubber hose and re-do them.

That's exactly what we're doing, and he wants a clean looking install, so we're doing all factory tubes and hoses. :th_thumbsup-wink:
