i have an 86 z24 cavalier with a 2.8l mpfi motor. its a gen 1 ironhead with a distributor. im looking to build a motor up for it, and i know i have a lot of options out there. here are some ideas im toying with
1)a 2.8l HO from a fiero
2)a 3.4l camaro
3)a 3.1l lumina apv
i need some info for all of these options. here are some specific questions for each
1)what fiero did the 2.8ho come in???
2)how hard is it to redrill the starter??? what was the hp and torque on this motor stock??? is there a fair bit of aftermarket for this engine??? are the rwd mount holes in the same spot as a fwd block, or am i going to need a custom mount??? what is the stock compression of this motor??? will my intake bolt on???
3)will my complete intake bolt on to this motor??
i want to keep the ironheads so a newer top end swap is out of the question. im looking to keep compression around 9.5:1, and im looking for 200hp without nitrous. im planning on juicing this motor in the future. im also looking to run high 13s without juice. what would be my best brt??? right now my car realy stumbles above 5000rpm, and the low end isnt great either. my best run is a 17.43. i want something that has a good powerband, i dont want to favor low or high end.
