  • Gen 2 Flowsheets

    Might be a work in progress? Lets just get started and see where it goes. 28", 3.700" bore. PAP % 100cfm +5% 200cfm +1% 300cfm +1%

    Starting off with the bare head, using clay to bellmouth the port inlet.

    Next we will put the intake manifolds on, with the throttle body and all vac ported blocked and untested ports taped off. This shows flow distribution between all runners.

    This is the comparison sheet for the middle port using the same head. Test 1 is the bare head, Test 2 is with the manifolds and throttle body. Test 3 is gasket matching the upper to lower and blending. Test 4 is removing the throttle body. Test 5 is removing the upper intake.

    Another version of the above but simplified progression. Bare head, full intake no throttle body, gasket matched the cylinder head to the lower intake, and then gasket matched lower and upper intake on the gasket matched cylinder head.

    • Using an adjustable pushrod for lifter preload
      by SappySE107
      Our engines use non adjustable rocker arms, so pushrod length is import to lifter preload, which is important for performance. Incorrect preload does change power on the dyno, or in extreme cases, the ability to run well or at all.

      There are 2 options for the adjustable pushrods, a shorter option custom made for wot-tech for use on 3100/3400/3500 LX9 engines. These measure below 5.700", which is very short for an automotive engine. The other option is a Comp pushrod that measures...

    • Gen 2 to Gen 3 Top-End Swap
      by bszopi
      The 3100 and 3400 engines are called Gen 3, because they are the third generation pushrod 60V6 engines. The reason for the swap is simple. Flow and design, both of which the Gen 3 triumphs all previous generations. The iron heads don't have splayed valves, D shaped exhaust ports, or in some cases even the larger valves (1.42/1.72). The Gen 2 Aluminum head engines are the most popular to do this swap, but no matter what you start with, the same steps apply. The Gen 3 parts have D shaped exhaust po...
