yes, electronic and very easy to get megasquirt to talk to them.

What about a 3.8 swap, then Turbo that. The endeavor I drove today would really scoot, even though it was a heavy sub

A heavy sub? Hmmm I'll hafta get my Pentagon buddy to talk Ramius into defecting over here with one...

I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!
Not too intereste in the 3.8, it's a neat swap though.

Hah, that didn't even cross my mind, I thought you were going for S.O.B.

Well, it's pretty much official. DOHC parts I've acquired are for sale and I'm picking up a spare 3000gt sohc next week!
Looking forward to pictures of progress. Have you decided on a plan yet? Besides going with the 12V SOHC of course.
to being different
going to squirt it?
I want to build a sohc 3kgt too. Therefore i applaud your efforts.
Coincidentally i have a DOHC to swap into a k-car.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
I'm picking up the spare engine and awd drivetrain w/mounts next week.
From there I will tear down the engine and rebuild/refresh it with mostly stock parts. I will make the ring gaps around .020 - .022 for some safety. While I'm doing this, the cams will be sent in for a regrind (still researching where and what grind). Also, the main girdle bolts will be upgraded to DSM head bolts. Once the cams arrive, I'll send the heads and cams to KMPerformance to port/polish/assemble, opting for a slightly oversized valve in the process. I will probably slightly port (most likely just port-match) the intake manifold/throttle body. Ignition will be a simple coil upgrade at first with better plugs/wires. Fuel will be set up for e85 and tuning will be megasquirt. Turbo kit will be made by yours truly.
That should cover the basic plans.
I will entertain the idea of forged pistons while enjoying the setup above
Vigo - in need of a fully built shortblock for your dohc build?
woo
hold off on the dsm headbolt as main girdle bolt idea, i want Brent to chime in an comfirm this. He did it but he might have some crazy reason as to why you shouldnt or why you should!
I read up on one of his threads where he mentioned it. His failure was due to a tuning issue but the cheap peace of mind isn't a bad idea.
Thanks for the offer but picked up my dohc for about 30$ the only money im planning to spend it is a full timing set, and possibly an oil pump and bottom end bearings. I stop spending money on motors right around the $400 mark.

okay good. feel free to read up on his forged motor build, on turbododge.com Lots of good stuff in there too. he ran into about every possible problem i could think of. one thing that would have helped alot would be the megasquirt, which you are starting out with from the beginning
Yeah i think that the majority of his problems were due to his crazy amount of timing he was running, due to the N/A ecu. That will be gone immediately.
yeah for sure. we still run a bit of timing though with boost
i havnt blown up with this map
i tend to get alot of non 6g72 guys yelling at me that im running way to much timing. they are used to negative numbers and max of like 14 degrees when in boost. LOL
Good buy, wish I had your luckThanks for the offer but picked up my dohc for about 30$ the only money im planning to spend it is a full timing set, and possibly an oil pump and bottom end bearings. I stop spending money on motors right around the $400 mark.

That is a fair amount of timing. If i remember correctly, you're boosted fairly mildly though correct?yeah for sure. we still run a bit of timing though with boost

correct. ive brought that map all the way to 190kpa. i would continue to drop timing in the same manner if i upped the boost.
they just think its crazy to have 28 degrees of advance at 175kpa... lol CARS are not univeral
