I was at the yard and picked up a large port 3100 core motor for $150, and will be working on the build this winter.
The plans are as follows:
Bored 0.60
Camaro 3.1L pistions
3500 heads
3500 LIM
Large Port 3100 UIM
SBC Cam Bearings
Stock Cam
TCE Single Roller (If finished by the time it is ready)
Scorpion Rockers (If finished by the time it is ready)
2.5" down pipe
I am still unsure if I will be using the stock exhaust manifolds, however I might try to fab something that flows a little better than stock while I have it on the stand. Something like the ZZP power log that is available for the dreaded 3800's.
I am shooting for 40 MPG on the highway with tuning, as I was able to get 33.6 MPG on a 3400/3500 hybrid.
Has anyone else built or considered building a more fuel efficient motor?
