About to be on engine 5

[jjwalker]

Sorry I havent been around in a while, been some bad times......


But anyway, I dont know if yall remember my cracked piston problem, but instead of getting a new vehicle like I was talking about I am going to get one of these ---> www.jasperengines.com


Just about **** near bullet proof motor, with 75K mile warranty. If it breaks they will 99% of the time just give you a new motor. I am having a cam and raised compression slapped into it.

If I break this motor, someone should really take my lisence away!

[LEADFOOT]

Sounds great. So what motor are you gonna slap in there?

[jjwalker]

it is another 2.8, but not just any ordinary 2.8.

It is going to be balanced, higher compression, and have a very nice cam.

I am looking at 200ft lbs torque before I starting yanking the EGR off again and tuning it. probably 220ft lbs after all that.

[T Man]

you sure do have a hard on for those 2.8's huh? What is it gonna run you? My Boss ran a Jasper eng and trans combo in his cirlce track car and it was quick as hell.

[blazen]

220 ftlb out of a 2.8 thats alot

[Matt 4.3 TBI]

Been wondering what was going on. Hadn't heard anything since you cracked the piston, but I keep seeing your truck around town. You having it swapped at a shop, or gonna borrow a lift?

[Maximus]

Get a 3.4 if you must stay at 60 degrees.A better foundation to keep building on.

[firehawkclone]

YES 3.4(filler)

[jjwalker]

I want to but I couldnt afford to beef the 3.4 up, the beefed up 2.8 is breaking my bank as it is.

matt4.3 TBI, I am going to have a shop drop it in. They can do it in 2 days when it would take me a week.

find a 97^ dohc lumina or grand prix. Most have a 60* engine.There considered throw away cars so you can usaly pick them up pretty cheap. You'll get the advantage of mpfi and a programable comp. They run pretty strong too.

true, the 3.4L mpfi is the way to go unless you can go bigger than that, but i had an mpfi'd 2.8 from an 86 camaro, it was no 383 but it felt nothing like a carbbed 2.8. anyways good luck!

I am getting my truck back with the new motor in it tommorow evening. I cant wait till I can test drive it. The new larger TBI unit is going on it also. My exclamation point key doesnt work so, imagine alot of those.
