Grandprix1 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Don't really want to use a spinning sanding disc on the head or block anyway, gasket scraper is fine. Be careful when you use the razor blade to make sure you don't nick the surface. Brake clean can help remove stubborn gasket material. If you ever find yourself over on the west side of Frederick, can you see if the W Express on W Patrick St still sells E85? Ok. Yes I can do that.

I know there is a station in Damascus which is like 5-10 minutes from me that sells all sorts of fancy stuff. They have race fuel but not sure if they have e85 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk digitaloutsider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks lol. I can fill up in Breezewood on the way there and back, but it's nice to have a more local place in case I end up having to do a lot of driving around.

I can fill up in Breezewood on the way there and back, but it's nice to have a more local place in case I end up having to do a lot of driving around.Yes that's true. My plan is to start with the stock 3.8 pulley and let the car get used to it then slowly drop pulleys if I can. From the looks for the supporting mods I could go to a 3.4 I believe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Without headers, 3.4 is too small for for an L67, let alone a top swap. You really shouldn't do a 3.4 without rockers and headers. Nas Escobar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Do you have F&R plogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix1 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 No. I'll do fronts after the swap. So then I can probably only run either stock or a 3.6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Don't go below a 3.6" without headers or F&R logs (and a 3" downpipe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I do a 3" downpipe will it still bolt to my 2.5" stock cat back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yep, it will. Your 2.5" DP will work for now, but I wouldn't drop a pulley until you get a 3." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be moving more air now so that makes sense. I'm giving the car 500 miles or so after the swap before I give it a hard run to see what it does Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix1 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 What do I do about the cut fuel lines on the fuel rail? Will mine swap over? And how do I get those off? I didn't want to break anything in the fuel rail Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 You need the disconnect tool to get the remaining stubs off. 94 olds vert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks for bringing this injector plug issue up guys, gotta check to see if I need to swap plugs on my top swap project. Grandprix1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix1 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 So I'm not sure if I'm getting parts from this guy... he looks at my messages when I ask hey what did you get off the car today. Does the ICM work? No response. I'm kinda nervous. If any else has the pulleys and harmonic balancer please let me know. The list is on here somewhere I don't want to get screwed over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There's cheap little plastic ones at the auto parts store that work.The metal one with the swivel they sell didn't want to work for me. When you insert the tool just push the line on like you're trying to seat ti really well at the same time and you'll catch the barbs. Some fuel lines don't require a tool, they have wing out the front or square buttons on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fuel lines don't require a tool, they have wing out the front or square buttons on the side. Ok I bought those cause I wasn't sure what size I needed. I heard back from the guy said he hasn't gotten the parts off the car yet as he's been busy... I may go ahead a get the ICM bracket off a car at the JY. Lady I work with has a special edition 01 Grand Prix GTP. Doing wild things to it. said she will probably give me her Black GTP badges cause she wants silver to match these accents she's doing.

Imp558 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 when you go to the wrecking yard take your new fuel line tools and a small screwdriver so you can practice on one that you don't care about Nas Escobar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
