Some new 60V6 products

[TiredGXP]

what kind of mine do you have?

2005 Grand Prix GXP with 81k km (had it since new) mods to date are fairly minimal - 918 springs, Harlan Sharp 1.8 rockers, K&N drop in (airbox modified to draw from fenderwell), magnaflow catback, HP tuned.

0-60 is a severely traction limited 5.5 sec, even with the 255's on the front. Never had it at the track, so no idea what the 1/4 would be, but probably somewhere in the mid 13 second range.

There isn't much room left in the engine compartment!!

I would much rather have a 3.6L swap over a 3900....

It will be interesting to see what the future holds

The 3.6L is a nice piece, but is way complex. I just don't see it ever becoming popular due to its need for the entire computer to properly function. One mishap with its vvt and that engine is toast. I can only imagine the tuning headache that would pose as well. I have heard of one company that modifys the stock ecm and wiring harness so it can be used in buggys though(not cheap and you have to use dbw).

This is why i am pushing towards a 3900! But knowbody commented on my comment about the 3900-add 2 cyl,thing? Don't get me wrong,i love my 3100 60 engine and all others,but just imagine how crazy that thing would sound? I have a 3500 sitting at my uncles out of a 2004 malibu,can i make it a 3900?I don't see the 3.6l becoming popular for the same reasons either.

The 3900 heads are based on the LS1's. The bore is even the same as some LS1 pistons... So yeah just go LS1 :P Besides 60degree's is not balanced for a V8. 90 is...

That 3500 you have is an LX9, the 3500 that is closer to the 3900 is different. The 3500 that is like a 3900 is just reduced stroke, but same top end minus the variable intake.

The 3500 lx9 your uncle has is easier for a swap and is considered a gen 3.5. That is what a lot of us have swapped so far. Not many gen4 3500/3900 swaps yet. I only know of Joseph's that is running. The Gen 4 has the variable cam to deal with as the major obstacle, and might not fit some cars due to the cam phaser sticking out.

[Nightingale]

The vvt isn't an issue if you use the gen 3 timing setup. Thats the route I am taking, and should be getting my set of cam sleeves from killerbv6. Of course there is still the issue of clearence due to the phaser, but nothing a BFH can't resolves ( just messing ).

We've added a new item to our list of products. We made some SS adapters for clutch master and slave cylinders. These will allow people to use braided lines or connect different slaves/master cylinders when doing tranny swaps. We plan to add 90 degree version of this fitting in the near future. A couple of other styles are being made as well. They will be useful for making remote bleed hoses and adapting to other types of cylinders.

The new adapters are:
AN-3 to Pin Lock (comes with new o-ring)
AN-3 to 3/8-24 Bubble Flare
AN-3 to M12 x 1.0 Bubble Flare
AN-3 to M10 x 1.5 Bubble Flare

Cool. Do you offer any AN fittings to convert from the stock threaded fuel lines (found on most 89 and older GM cars) ?
The stock sizes are 3/8 and 5/16 (Are the fitting bubble flare too?) . If so, how much? If not, do you have any places in mind to go look into?

[CNCguy]

I don't know what the fuel line type is called and have no idea where to get any at this point. I have thought about trying to come up with a solution for some swap applications. Here's what the bubble flare looks like compared to a double flare. They are used in different applications and will usually seal in the bottom of a bleeder seat. Some S-10s and F-bodies used them on their slave cylinders.

Here's what the fittings look like.

Ahhh... I didn't read your post very well and was thinking of the newer style. I may be able to come up with an answer for that. Let me see what I can do as there is a 3.1L Camaro engine at the shop. I think it has fittings like that. If so, I can get some measurements from them. Maybe an adapter to AN-6?

If that is the size it works out closest to be then that works for me.
Having the female style would be great too. The return line out back uses the female style going into the sending unit hard line ( sending unit hard line has male end) .

I'd def buy a set. Let me know how much.

IRC..... AN-6 is 3/8 OD tube. I'll post on what I find.

[1988GTU]

ok. See about some 5/16" stuff too if you can please.
