Finally posting my 3400 build

[johnnymossville]

The cam and pushrods that I ordered from the 60*V6 store arrived today. Looking good I've got to say. Been really busy and haven't had time to start porting everything yet. I hope to get that finished this weekend and then I can start assembly. Have to order the TB, adapter, and FPR bracket from the store in the next day or so, but I'm sure it won't take long for them to get here. I need to get a chip for the OBD1 ECM cause I don't really want to fire this thing off with the stock calibration in there. Superdave was going to help me out with that, hopefully he has had time but I know he's been a busy man. I'll try to post some pics when I get ready to assemble everything just in case anyone is interested.

Yes we all are interested ...as many pics and as many details as possible...PLEASE

and thanks for the thread

[johnnymossville]

Ported everything Saturday,when time allows I'll polish it all. 65mm TB, TB adapter, and FPR bracket are on their way. 60*V6 Store has awesome parts and service. Thanks Ben.

Poor oiling system in comparison to other motors out there.

I also didnt think you could get 530 lift on LS6 springs... But maybe I'm wrong.

I dont think you can. the cam I have is 478/480 and they are very close to coil bind. I dont think you could get a 530 lift from them. Maybe the comp cams springs you could

I'll check for coil bind but hopefully they will work. If they bind then I'll buy some Comp Cam springs. It is true, the more performance you want the more money that you have to spend and I still have to get a chip burned somewhere, then I have to address the trans. The trans will have to remain stock for now while I save the money to buy the performance parts to rebuild the spare that is in the shed.

yeah the comp springs are good for a 550 lift on stock heads and coil bind at .660

but yeah check the LS6 to see if they will work!

[johnnymossville]

The TB, Adapter, and FPRbracket came in this morning. Very nice pieces.
60*V6 Store, good stuff man!

[Superdave]

you should invest in an ostrich.. it'll make tuning that thing alot easier. lol

the LS6 yellows are taking .559 lift on moonwell's 3400, no idea how but they aren't binding and he's making craploads of power..


generally speaking .510 or so is safe for LS6 yellow springs.

I thought moonwell had LS6 "Green"'s, or at least i thought i read it somewhere..... or did i accidentally have some of the brown acid? lol

[zofo61]

Stay away from the Brown Acid Man

[Superdave]

I thought moonwell had LS6 "Green"'s, or at least i thought i read it somewhere..... or did i accidentally have some of the brown acid? lol

aah, you are correct.. i just asked him.

he's running the greens.. not sure what the diff is.

[johnnymossville]

Okay, in my very limited spare time I assembled my TB and checked moates.net about an ostrich emulator. The price isn't bad but just how does it function? How will it make tuning easier? The description is vague and maybe someone could explain it to me.

[johnnymossville]

I've been busy and the progress on the build has been slow. The UIM and the LIM are done and I'm finishing up the heads now. Just recieved my Comp Cams 26986 springs from the 60*V6 Store today, thanks Ben. I gave into the horsepower gods and I'll have some 3.4 iron head pistons here in the next few days. That should be good for a power increase and make tuning fun. When the engine is done I'll start on the trans. with a Alto Red Eagle rebuild kit and a TransGo shift kit.

[SappySE107]

Compression is your friend, and its really not too difficult to tune for those pistons

[torq455]

yeah don't stop short with stock compression or you'll be wishing you had done things differently!
