Reusable rocker bolts
Intense pushrods
Meziere EWP
Rollmaster DR timing chain
8 rib SC belt
Bonneville tensioner
Alt relocation bracket (unless I talk him outta it)
Ported LIM
S2 ZZP IC
Gen V ported
3.4 MPS (gonna change to a 2.9 quick)
Frozen boost FMHE
Meziiere IC pump (20 gpm)
60lb injectors
ZZP IC pump controller
LS1 TB
SSAC headers
PRJ fuel rails
Tim King transmission
ATI torque converter
and there's more I'm forgetting



The piles of parts


Checking it out


Dirty wires


Cleaned wires


Here she is.. (This motor was in my Bonne)


JP Single timing chain that I ran. Considering..this looks good.


Here comes a DR




the money shot (I always take this picture)


GM FSM tells us to use RTV at the bottom of the gasket



And back together


Took the wrap off the transmission and noticed it'll need work before going in. Dinged up axle seal and VSS sensor is broken




Need to order
1/4" NPT plugs
1/2" NPT to 3/4" hose fittings
Washers for IC bolts
LIM Gaskets
Gasket material for IC gaskets (make own)
Metal to mount IC
Rubber to isolate IC pump
Lower conversion gasket set (on hand)
Permatex 26B gasket maker (IC gasket)
GM Pipe sealant with PTFE

That is one exciting setup, thumbs up, keep it up!

[SilvaMan61]

very nice. thats a huge step up from stock.

[matt5112]

oooOOOOoooo....

Should be quick.

[Odi]

i need to leave my car with you for a month...

[TLSheff]

You know Im bored when I find my way back home to see whats kickin on the dark side...

That will be one mean GTP... and is that a Gen V or a nicely bored and powdercoated Gen III SC on the table?


btw I feel for that tranny going in with the history behind your beastly motor... hope you gave the guy the 411 on the number of trannies that engine has destroyed

:mg <epic... your engine to transmissions

lol from the other forum where I noticed originally... except I noticed the ported GenV blower at the top... very nice he should be happy until your motor breaks the axles

its a gen v minichopper had done a while back. the tranmission is from tim king. i bought it when he had that group buy going on. you dont think tim's transmission would stand up?

[Wrongwayislost77]

Tim is the only alternative I would consider besides Dave over at TEP. I think that comment was more in reference to the fact that this engine has an appetite for trannies than someone knocking Tim's work. It's some kind of bad juju kinda thing.

i am skeptical about the axles. i ordered a set of vogtland springs to bring the car back up to a decent ride height. along with engine mount spacers i hope to have the axles close to in-line. i have B&G spring that has the front to low

[matt5112]

full size and spacers?

Might be tight.

[foursixer]

hood clearance???????we have to see what we working with.

[BillBoost37]

It will likely need cradle spacers. Which are easy enough to make/buy.

Len, I told you I have a problem with tearing input shaft reluctor wheels off the drive gear in the trans. Most guys never do. I think my right foot was a little overzealous most days. I sent Tim a pm to try and ensure if that input shaft is stock or not. If it's stock I'm going to be questioning it's durability when you pounce on the throttle. If it's not you should be good to go.

Tim built my first trans when he worked at intense. I slaughtered two of their LSD's (common) and then started killing reluctor wheels (4-6 in total). Reluctors tend to dig holes into the channel plate very easily. There are other guys putting down much more power than I did w/o any problems. Only question is..did I put it down more often and harsher, I think so.

Yes.. that's this motor

bill, this is what was done to the transmission.
All seals, clutches, bonded pistons
Hardened 4th hub shaft
300m input shaft
3.29 gears and 7/8 chain
shift kit
All valve body and spacers plate mods and updates
All new solenoids

[BillBoost37]

300m.. nice! That'll do the trick for taking in the power.

[MrPoopyButthole]

bonerific!

[16MustangVet]

See your doing the s1x with 1.8 rocker combo hmmm dont know if many picked up on this but ive talked to bill before about it and it should have more lift than the is3 cam i have. I want to see HP results forsure!! and looks likea damn fun build!!

^^^ Precisely. I never knock a good tranny-mans work. I just know the history behind this motor and its appetite. It is the exact reason why Bill learned how to dive into a tranny and build one back up that would hold... and how to control the right foot

Judging by what its got in it tho, Im sure if you take care of it and don't beat on her TOO much... she should hold up nicely

[BillBoost37]

TL..I never learned either of those. That's why I sold it to Len.

My appologies, I stand corrected

[BillBoost37]

No worries...it wasn't right telling myself that many times "at least the bolts won't fight". When thats the upside of pulling the trans, it's time to move on.
