FWD L36

[ellik]

are there any pysical differences between the FWD L36 and the L67 (heads/ intake) that would keep you from bolting an M90 or M112 onto the FWD L36 engine. I know the L67 utilizes stronger pushrods and a lower compression, but I dont know what if there is anything external that would keep me from doing it. Are the accessory locations the same? Everyone says that the only thing keeping us from doing it in our RWD apps is the orientation in the engine bay. Is this really correct? Intense-racing lists the M90 and M112 upgrades for the L67 only. Was wondering about this. Is it only for the internal component strenght? We can run 6-7 psi on our engines so I wouldnt be too concerned, just wanted to know if Im going to run into problems.
FYI - this is on a Monte Carlo, not an F-body.

Dude just go to the ZZP site or the Intense sites they have Centrifugal SC kits for those cars. It would be much easier of an install and get you much more power.

unaregueably, but they are also more than 3 times the cost.

Im pretty sure its that simple but i could be mistaken. also if you do this there is an air to water I/C that bolts between the engine and the M90 and i would deffinately recomend that.
