3.4L Build up

[HullPerformanceRacing]

Well, my oil pump or something went yesterday..oil pressure dropped to 0 and my valve train is tapping like and SOB..along with huge decrease in power...so I'm starting my 3.4L build sooner then expected.... Got mostly everything for my turbo setup, minus a few odds and ends..along with that I'm pulling the motor and checking the tolerances in the cylinder, possibly just re-ring the motor but might end up with aftermarket pistons and rods as well....fabbing up a custom upper intake manifold which will flow alot better than the stock plenum, and will also incorporate a LT1 2X50mm throttlebody, heads are getting ported and polished, and a street/strip clutch setup...should be pretty impressive when I'm done with it...I'll keep you guys posted on the build......

You should definetely keep us updated, this sounds pretty cool. By the way, which turbo did you get?

Re: 3.4L Build up

well of course the drivetrain is going to be noisy if the oil pump is dead, poor lube... replace it
