looking into building my bullet proof 3500 now that i have lost another rod in the 3400 i have put together a list of stuff that i will we doing. im trying to find a 3500 locally with the 7484 crank.
the block will get stripped down and bored .020 over for the custom made wisecos i ordered some time back. im going to mate the piston to a set of 4.3l v6 h beam rods and have the big ends of the rods shaved down and the rotating assembly balanced. im looking at getting bens stage 3 turbo cam and the comp cams springs from the store along with the longer pushrods. i was wondering if ill need the bronze gear with that cam? i am going to use a stock set of 3500 heads mated to my 3500 lower and a ported 3400 upper.my only real issue seems to be getting a external crank trigger seeing as the store here on the site is out of stock.
is there any complications with bolting my 3400 front cover to the 3500 block? so i can keep the mounting of the tensioner alternator and powersteering pump the same? what about the bracket for the axle shaft on the rear of the block will it line up? and what about the a/c compressor will it bolt to the 3500 block? i never could line up the bottom bolt on my 05 3400 and i didnt have any issues with that.

05 3400 w/3.5l top end, 42.5lb hr injectors, t3/t4 GARRETT .63ar 60 trim, front mount intercooler, greddy rs BOV, tial 38mm wastegate, 3" exhaust, high flow cat, 180* hypertech thermostat, fidanza flywheel, TG LSD, spec stage III clutch, ffp udp, walbro 255 lph, ffp dogbone, Ingall Camber Bolts, GM strut tower brace, z51 rear sway, fe3 front sway, new 92 5sp tranny, 92 subframes, poly control arm bushings, poly sway bar bracket bushings, poly endlinks, poly z51 bushings, carcustoms poly mount, kyb shocks and struts, eibach springs, battery relocated to trunk, TGP 2 bar map sensor, DHP Powrtuner, euro headlamps with 6k HIDS, euro tails, viper 791xv, Bfg drag radials, Goodridge G stop SS lines
