Im finding that with my SOHC 3.0 and the route i originally wanted to go with twin plenums. Good thing i picked up a montero lower intake. I think i'm going to end up going with one large plenum with a 80mm TB from a q45. I have two of them already lol....now what to do with my plenums i bought...
spray them black and JB Weld them on top of the hood.... it'll look trick.

HAHA it'd look awesome. Kinda like those hood scoops that use double sided tape.
short block assembled and ready to install!!!
the turbo dodge aluminum fly wheel on a Kia/Mitsubishi 3.5!!!!LOVE IT!!!
Hmmm didn't know you could find them in Kias, will have to look around, there's one or two yards within striking distance that do engine sales.... or all you can carry sales... which would probably mean I'd have to carry it out in two doses (i.e. stagger with the block, then with the heads) but would still be pretty cheap. We didn't get Mitsu mitsus until relatively recently so there's nothing of them to find.

I got my 3.5 out of a 02 Kia sadona van! the timing belt snapped and the shop sold it to me for $40! and the cool part is ALL of the mitsubishi 3.0 DOHC and VR4 parts fit perfectly! only need to keep the 3.5 intake due to the block being taller!
mock up is complete!!! these are the 2 intakes I am thinking about installing!
and it looks like a got a lot of room even with the radiator installed!
Looking good, it went straight on the mounts?
Ah yah, that's a point, half the world believe these are interference.

all the mounts matched except for the right hand! that one i need to fab up. and yes it is an interference engine! that is why I got it for so cheap!!!LOL it bent 20 of the 24 valves!!!! but the pistons are fine and the motor now has new rings and bearings! and soon twin turbos!!!
ohhh these ones ARE... guess I was meaning half the world think the 3.0 is when it isn't.

it isn't a 3.0. it is a 3.5 DOHC! I moved up from the 3.0 same motor just 10mm taller.
yes, got that it was a 3.5, but originally thought it was also non-interference like the 3.0, but a lot of people think the 3.0 is interference anyway...

working on mods to the intake and throttle body! 70mm TB from old duel intake! the tape is holding the JB weld in place till it drys. I plugged up a few vac ports and the PVC ports in the lower intake. I hope that in the morning I will be able to powder coat them and do the finish assembly on the intake!
Wow! I didn't know all that had happened! Sorry to hear about the bad luck, but it looks like maybe things are working out anyway. I suppose I need to go look at TD and read up on my threads over there! LOL I haven't been on there in months!
Joe, the 2" pipes are because he is running twins. 2" pipe is actually overkill for one of those turbos but easier to use. I stick with larger 2nd ring gaps then top ring gaps to prevent ring flutter. Not sure why you went so big unless you plan on some serious tuning problems. Found that much smaller gaps still achieve piston invulnerability. Did you break the glaze on the cylinders?
BTW the record for a 10:1 4 valve stock shortblock with oem gaps is 140mph in the 1/4. Motors would never hold together for him though. Bent rods or butted rings breaking ringlands.
6g74's have baby rods so those will go before your pistons. Stock for stock a 6g72 can handle a lot more power then a 6g74. Harder to get there of course.
