  • Do you plan to modify for performance?

    What if any performance upgrades do you plan for your engine between now and next spring?

      Currently refreshing one project while getting started on the next new project. So, all apply. Depending how prices are and turnaround time, I might be looking for lots of port work and some cams.

        Probably nothing as school is taking more time this semester leaving me to work less and creating less funds for the project. Plus a reliable second car is in order if I'm to blow the 4T45 up

          It seems like my income is steady for now. Thoughts center around a small build. Truth is I need a low mile 3400 and would like to have ported intakes/heads.
          Oh and the never ending dream of getting the Beta headers on! To me a cam is too much of a long shot.

          My 95's 3100 has piston slap so bad now that it is doing it in the summer. It was just a winter thing!

              Set of ported heads and hopefully some headers, at the least. My truck needs some work, so I'm trying to decide what to work on first lol

                  I don't know that I'll be able to afford head work...

                    Do you plan to modify for performance?

                    Not really sure yet but I just picked up a 3900 for $90. And my 94 S10 could use something with more power than the 2.2.

                    Anyone think I can match the 2.2's gas mileage with a 3x00? I'm currently getting 30 MPG - 7.6L/100km

                      if you regear it, i can easily see it exceed that.

                      Compare the MPG of cars and trucks side-by-side. Compare the gas mileage and greenhouse gas emissions of new and used cars and trucks

                        I am definitely saying no, and sadly saying that the Mustang will most likely be getting sold soon. Too many bills starting to pile up and not enough income coming in. And then of course, there is having 2 growing girls that are involved in several activities each. Hopefully some day in the future I'll be able to mod another 60V6 (Beretta revival?). I just can't see holding on to the Mustang much longer, considering its already sat stagnant for almost 5 years.

                        Anyone interested?

                          Well......thinking that is a better idea. That hollow cam scares the piss out of me.

                              It'd be pretty easy to source a 3.42 rear end but I'm torn between 3.23 and 3.42 if I went that route. I could always use the 3.23 disc LSD rear end from my Firebird as well.
