MrMeanGreen Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 As most of you know, I'm doing a forged 347 buildup on the Formula for the winter. I eventually plan on running a turbo kit, but for now, will stick with the Procharger setup. I'm trying to see just how much power a P-1 can make. Anyways. I'm going to pull the engine next month and start on it's disassembly for the new internals. I will be keeping the stock crank, albeit having it balanced and polished. I will be running Diamond forged pistons, 8.5:1 compression ratio. I'll also be using forged rods, ARP rod bolts, and Clevite bearings. The 6.0L heads I have now will be ported and polished, and I'll also be using the LPE/Weiand intake I picked up last month which IPS has now for some polishing and powercoating. I'll also run a hefty cam, somewhere in the 228/234, .595/.595, 114lsa area. My stall will be back, now at a 3800 and 2.3str, along with a freshly rebuilt Stage IV tranny from Berberich. However, I've never undertaken an engine rebuild before. I have all of the 1998-specific GM service manuals for the F-Body, along with the tools and resources (minus an engine hoist). I will need help this winter removing the engine and tearing it apart. After it gets back from the machine shop, I'll need assistance re-assembling it and getting it back into the car. That being said, there's beer and food in it, along with my charming personality Again, this won't be for another month yet, but I'd like to get this out now so people have plenty of notice. Thanks :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Anthony, Good luck with the new build up. I would make sure you have confidence in who ever you get to help you do the build up. If I am in town, I will be sure to swing down and give you a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug1647545489 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'd help but I'm up at school a lot now. I can offer some advice since I tore down/rebuilt my first motor 5 weeks ago. Once out of the car it's easy. I did one of those new GM 4.2 I6. You'll need a couple measuring tools like a dial bore guage and some plastigage, etc... Just stay organized. Label/mark everything. I'd have to say that's the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's cool. The engine itself will only make 400rwhp by itself. It's the 20psi of boost I'm looking forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'd help but I'm up at school a lot now. I can offer some advice since I tore down/rebuilt my first motor 5 weeks ago.

I'd have to say that's the most important thing. I agree on the organazation part. I have mine torn down right now, and i musthavel about 30 zip lock bags filled with something. I also suggest taking some pictures as well. Remember take the time now, cause it will save you in the end. And when you want to take it out I can help, *be the muscle* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
