Why reveal all my secrets?LOL Actually, I have been setting up my EFI turbo system on my STF motor which was a 1699cc engine. Now that I have enough of the parts collected for my 2332cc engine I figured the best way to motivate myself to put it together was to pull and sell the little engine. Plus, I feel that since most of my design was built for the larger engine, that that was half my battle with tuning it.

Well I pulled apart the last T-3 short block engine case I bought from the Glenn MI area, and this is what I found.  ,  ,  ,  . Other than a little clean up and Vac of the leaves and stuff, I'm glad this did not sell at the shows I brought it to:) STD/STD/STD case crank rods and cam all with NEW German bearings. I'll put reground lifters in it and swap in rebuilt rods and who knows  |

Actually Mike, I haven't exactly been bug less. I did do some test passes up and down the road last summer and finally figured out that I was losing boost. My throttle body was unable to hold the boot between it and the turbo. The lip wasn't big enough so, I'm back to redesigning it out of aluminum along with a different throttle body. I Know what u mean Clinton by getting motivated  ,, and You've been bugless way to long!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to see ur bug in the 10's   |
