What valve seals did you use

And No the Rendezvous comes up as a compatible engine with the 05 Impala, Equinox is the oddball, it also has the passenger side intake inlet with no PS pump there.

I have found if you go to a bolt/fastner specialty store, you can buy an 18mmx1.5 nut, cut it in half the long way, and BANG! Instant o2 sensor bung. Then you can just drill a 5/8" hole anywhere in the exhaust tract and weld the nut on. I bought 3 nuts for $3, still have enough to make 4 more bungs . Just make sure you mount your WB somewhere between 9 and 3 o'clock on the pipe to avoid moisture problems from standing water.

you can also get "spark plug anti-fowlers" at autozone and cut the end off then weld that in.. they seem to work great.

I used seals from a '92 cavy 2.2l

thats because it has electric steering...

the nox upper can easily be swapped with the 3500 plenum though so it would be a good source for some of your top end needs as they claim something like 225hp IIRC from the flywheel... used to have one... with traction off and the weight of that thing its like they made it with the soul purpose of nice smokey burnouts

[IsaacHayes]

It's that high? I wonder what's different other than the 3500 style plenum...

[El_Diablo]

wow, i was way wrong, haha, sorry, its 185... dont ask where i came up with the 225 number cuz i have no idea... torque is at 210


this is what edmunds says-

Rated at 185 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque, the V6 has plenty of punch and feels more robust than its relatively meager output ratings might suggest. Expect a 0-60-mph time of about 8.7 seconds.

it really did pull too... i could swear it had more power because for the weight it moved

Well long time no update... Im still waiting on powder coating for certain things... yes I know taking WAYYYY too long. However I got the rear log style manifold and a few brackets Ive been waiting for. I got what I could painted and on the engine...

you guys wanna see a dyno sheet as bad as I do! however that wont be till next summer! as its getting very cold here and Im not putting in another motor with the snow flying!

[ForcedFirebird]

and Im not putting in another motor with the snow flying!

Wuss! That's what you get for living in ght cold climate J/K

[19Cutlass94]

well I got my powdercoated parts back and now the engine goes together!

[SappySE107]

I was waiting to see how the manifolds looked with the powdercoating:P

[19Cutlass94]

Ill get pics up soon. The only part I dont have yet is the plenum. I had them highlight the 3400SFI, and they had to fix the highlight and clear it. I can get pics of everything else for ya They are by no means perfect but they look good!

[19Cutlass94]

Heres a cell phone pic:

Need better pic, but that looks like chrome to me

[torq455]

either chrome or highly polished! looks sweet. a lot of maintenance to keep purdy...
