Thread: GTP CompG with L26 Bottom HELP!!!!!

I know people have run them with great success and made good power. I just wouldn't trust one on a high hp build over an L67 or 32. I've heard of too many horror stories. If I somehow managed to blow my original L67 I'd probably look for another L67 or 32 over an L26 or 36. The supercharged bottoms are much more KR forgiving than the NA bottoms. Just my opinion and preference.

He has a top swap (bottom swap) and maybe adding headers.

This is not a high HP build.

It's a get it running build.

I know that, I meant in general. Regardless, I'd still opt for an l67 or 32. Just my cup of tea..

You are recommending throwing away his current motor and starting over with used L67 L32 motor. Have you looked and priced one lately?

They want $1,500 for one with 150,000 miles.

No. Never said that once. All I was implying is that, to me anyway, they are no more than a cheaper solution when replacing a 3800 and that I myself would stick to a supercharged bottom end for reliability concerns. To each their own, I've heard of guys blowing L26's on stock pulleys. They have the weakest rods in the 3800 platform.

ummm, is 898 WHP enough for you? Because thats what ZZP did on a stock N/A block. Only limited by the trans.. Seems to me our N/A blocks will put up with plenty of power.
