I'll take the Lancer Shelby off your hands free of charge! :thumb: I'll PM you my address ;)

Ugghh.....FINE! We'll let you off *this* time.

Yup....my car has some rubbing in the same areas.

That might have to do with the muffler. A good muffler will make a world of difference in the sound.

I'd like to hear how it sounds! I've never heard a street 3.3/3.8 opened up. I have a feeling it might actually sound pretty good.

LOL, yeah, I was just giving you crap! ;) I think that'll work pretty well for you, actually!

Looks a little small. I'll PM you my mailing address so you can send it to me so you can have more room to find a better one! ;)

Thanks for the refresher! I knew I was close, just wasn't 100%. I appreciate it! :thumb:

Wasn't there a change to sequential fuel injection in '91? If so, there are 2 problems. 1 is that there won't be enough wires to run the injectors individually because the harness is for batch fire....

You were trying to run it on 3.3 electronics, right? I wonder if it was lean, or the ignition timing was mucked up for a 3.8. That probably is different, just like the 2.2 vs. 2.5 timing and fuel.

The FSM I read was a maroon manual (1990), and it described the torque management like it only happened exactly when the upshift would occur, nothing more...and it was only on the 3.8. Thing is, I...

If you have the CCD bus connected between the 3.8 SBEC and the TCU, the TCU will send out a "torque reduction request" to the SBEC under WOT shifting. I don't *think* the bus is used for anything...

I saw a 4.0 torn down to the heads and it didn't look anything like the 3.5's from Intrepids and such. I just looked at AllPar and it states the engines are related, but I also remember seeing...

I could swear that somewhere along the line I've heard of the 3.5 crank being used in a 3.3. If you have access to a machine shop, almost anything is possible, and if you have access to prototype raw...

That crank is 100% cast. Isn't the 3.5 crank forged and that was the whole stink about using it? Seeing this, it looks like the forged crank info for the Can-Am engines was a myth. That sucks. :( The...

Agreed! I will give it a look just for grins. I'm pretty set on my decision. I used to be all about having gauges for everything in the cabin, but there is simply too much to do while driving at...

Maybe it was 6800, but I know they could go higher. Yes, the 3.3 valve springs can be used in the 8V engines, BUT, they HAVE to be shimmed correctly to get enough seat pressure, otherwise they will...

The 3.3's that were used in the Shelby Can-Am cars had a different cam and those engines were spinning something like 7500rpm (though they did have preproduction 3.5L cranks in them).
