    Sorry, Didn't finish, much less start my thoughts...

    I will be happy to hear about your results. the pics above are of one car I built. I still have yet to hear that 1.6 ratio can be used without lower end driveability issues... If i knew they worked, we would be using them.
    Thank you,

      You should be using 1.6 rocker arms they are awesome and help performance in many ways. Reduction of friction and higher lift on your cam. No reason not to use them. I had them on my old motor and it ran great. Low end driveability is not a problem. go to www.ammperformance.com and look through all the iron head stuff for v6 camaros. What kind of valve covers are those... Fiero ones? Anyways that motor looks clean a holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator would clean up the look of the stock one. They are billet and I have one on my iron head motor right now. I will be selling some stuff for iron head motors soon like comp energy pushrods and prob my afpr. I have spare intakes heads, a throttle body, and soon to be a 37,000 mile motor 3.4 Iron head bone stock. Anyways I am looking for bolts and stuff right now...but I need to know how i can switch my computer to a FWD one that can be tuned.

        The PCM can be changed to a FWD from the same years. We have done it before, but would love someone to program these.... Yes we are using the same year FWD PCM that comes with aluminium heads without any problems!

          I need a fwd PCM that can be tuned though.... I cant use the alum head pcm because i have 3.73 gears and i need compensation for that. I might just have to figure something out who knows. If i decide to go to a different computer then i would def sell this one and when the new motor goes in and I know everything is ok I will sell the 37k mi motor. Im trying to get an LT1 throttle body fabbed up to the 3100 intake manifold so i wont have to switch sides for the throttle cable since this is in a camaro.. and i think it will be pretty neat too.

            I have used longer throttle cables out of the FWD cars of the same era as the 93-95 Camaro, so if it is only for the reason of throttle cable, don't worry.... Although a bigger TB wouldn't kill you in what you are about to do! 3.73 gears with a stock PCM would kill you for top speed! I guessed our 3.91 rear end gear ratios (in stock rear ends of MGBs) would place our top speed at around 80 mph- not a good thing. I just leave teh VSS disconnected from the PCM, there are no negatives to this other then-
            1) I can get big tickets
            2) I dont get 28 mpg, I only get 24.

            But then again, I am using mechanical speedometers and aftermarket units that do not require running through the PCM.

            Just some thoughts.

              My computer now is tuned for the 3.73's and I dont have a speed limiter anymore, but if I did go to the fwd computer i would be screwed unless i could get it switched around and adjusted for a mix of camaro and fwd lol. Yeah I think the throttle body will look pretty sweet on it and it should help it breath a bit. I'm workin on everything right now. If you have any thoughts or parts that might help me out let me know. thanks,
