    She'll never look this good again lol....



    First Mod



    Led to.....













    And....Damn.....




    Buick L67 and trans





    Immediate plans....

    Still have to pull the oil pan to see exactly what I'm dealing with. Assembly has been sitting for a year. Minimal rust but bugs EVERYWHERE.

    I plan to get into the bottom end and clean up what I can. Hopefully everything in the pan will look promising.

    With that I'll swap over all of my accessories and replace gaskets.
    Aluminum oil pan

    L67 bottom
    105Springs
    1.8 roller rockers
    Intense pushrods
    Stock NEW timing set
    42.5 injectors
    L26 pcm with tables adjusted
    Modded LIM
    L67 Ported heads
    speed daddy headers
    Custom nocat-back
    L67 flex plate and torque converter are going on too

    Once this setup is up and running I'm taking the old L26 and rebuilding with S/C bottom end parts.


    Updates as I get around to them. Thread will be pic heavy

    Getting around to pulling my arp heads studs to swap to the other engine and this BS happens! I take too much pride and care in my worth to deal with stupid stuff like this ugh!

    Hex hole stripped with the proper size so I had to force it out. I'm sure I can still use this it's just aggravating to keep running into stupid problems.



    OK done b....ing.

    The weeks are just dragging by and I get my first check from this place on Tuesday. My service manager at work says buy the parts through us and we can just do it through your payroll. Ha! Heck no!

    She'll be going back together with

    Buick L67 Bottom
    L67 Heads P&P
    1.8 Roller Rockers
    IR stock length oil restricted pushrods
    Very slight port on intake just to clean up casting
    105 springs
    Gen V polished in & out
    3.4 ZZP pulley
    Speed daddy headers to custom exhaust
    FBody front brakes
    Kyb struts all around
    Front & rear strut tower braces
    I have an L67 torque converter and flex plate I may use. I hear the stall is just a bit higher and it should bolt right up.

    Yup starting with the 3.4 because I believe I should be able to with these mods and a good tune. Cam and craziness will come down the road when I rebuild the L26.

    I should be able to use the L26 computer with tables from an L67 as well. Have my new map sensor and I'm hoping I'll finally be able to use my LQ4 MAF with that size pulley.

    87K is what I was told. It was completely assembled along with a trans and turns over smoothly.

    Ha yeah they aren't much to look at. I cleaned them up and put a couple coats of tire black on them for a nice deep matte black finish. All I need for now since the FBody brakes fit behind them.

    I appreciate the SUB!

    I get paid every 2 weeks at this new job so bigger bumps at a time.

    Just sold 2 Gen 3s, but my sale thread isn't going very well. I'll be adding a trans to the list soon.

    I want get an XP cam, but time and money are short. This has to last a while and the other block will get torn down after Evas running on the L67.

    I finally got around to snatching the oil pan off the old engine and found chunks of piston inside. Whew.



    No gasket on the aluminum pan. Sounds good to me!
