I talked to Nolan and he wants the engine which would be fine if they could do it within the mounth but there two months behind, and then he wont disclose any secrets which is understandable.So im in the dark at what todo.

Re: engine rebuild

...there are people on this board who know the Canadians there (Mark and Nolan) fairly/very well. They are very stand-up guys who DO know what they are doing!

Re: engine rebuild

If you want it done right suck and up and let nolan do it. Chances are a local guy will cause you more than 2 months downtime and more money in the end.

Re: engine rebuild

Listen to these guys, Mark and Nolan know their stuff.

Re: engine rebuild

Hey Rob, glad to see you joined the site :tup:

Honestly, it will be worth the added downtime to have Campbell do the motor, it will be done right the first time, which may be worth more than you think, Jeff is right, it's more than likely it could more in the end with more downtime than you would expect if you go the other route :2cents:

If you do some searching around the site you will quickly find out how knowledgeable Nolan and Mark are.

What was your truck # again? I couldn't find it on sportmachines.com, the only red/red with just pics and no owner had a roof rack.

Let's see some pics of the truck and some of the work you've done.

Re: engine rebuild

The engines already tore down so im going to carry on this rute .The internals not as big a deal for me or the machine shop as the externals im going to stay close to stock just put good parts back in it.turbo size and make,injector size and so on i'll have to read about i guess. Any info on turbo's? I read someone talking about Mitzu has one alittle bit bigger than stock! Pics i'll get and iforget my truck #. i'll get that on! and once im done the truck i'll probebly come up to Edmonton for your meet.

You will really sorry if they put the wrong internals in and your doing another rebuild just after putting some mild mods on. Since 4.3 aren't usually performance motors, most shops will treat it as such (the don't suggest a strong motor either). If your look for bigger turbo/injectors a stock style rebuild is not what you want, the factory internals are marginal at best and leave no little room for error.

If I was going to rebuild a motor and have a local shop do it, I would do as much research as possible and bring them the parts. At the very least makes sure they use forged rods and pistons, make sure they use correct compression ratio. Make sure you very involve and communicating with this process. Let them know how much HP this motor will make and convert it to a Small Block Chevy V8 as a reference. For an instance if you think make 450hp, multiply it by 1.333 (8cylinder/6 cylinders) and tell thems like a 600 hp SBC just missing 2 cylinders.

I would personally have Campbell Automotive do it right once.

Re: engine rebuild

X2...My Sy has several bent stock rods in it. The ONLY reason I'm not worried about them is I have the makings of a new forged bottom end sitting there (including another block). I would not suggest running stock rod/pistons to anyone unless they wanted a disposable engine. It just won't live with any kind of boost on it.

I totally agree with you.I blew two rods right thru the oil pan on my syclone so now i'm building up.

Re: engine rebuild

A local shop is doing it and i am trying toget all the right parts! thats what im asking ! if anyone that has rebuilt there engine or knows of someone who works on them and is willing to give me some advise even if i have to pay for the correct info, to let me know what works and what doesn't right from the internals too the externals.I dont want an extreem build i want to drive it to california and back and still be able to kick some ass with out blowing the truck up.

Re: engine rebuild

get some vortec heads < 96 and up 4.3 heads they flow way better>and the turbo your talking about is a 20 g mitsu turbo should put you down into the 12 s

 

[speedfreek]

Re: engine rebuild

Thx bud! The turbo, do you have a part # or a place to call that would it in stock?. Any other goody's that work well together that come to mind wood be grately appreciated

 

[11secty]

Re: engine rebuild

i dont have the part numbers but look on ebay just type in 20 g should be able to get a new one or rebuilt one for about 5-7 hundo or go onto a dsm web site and you should be able to get one there comp cams also has a nice cam set up for you thats the one thing that i didnt do now i,m screwed oh and a nice air to air set up for your intecooler
i would buy a nice intercooler off of ebay in one side out the other and have a local exhaust shop run the pipes otherwise one like mine cost about 1400 which thank god it was already on the truck

Re: engine rebuild

Just a little heads-up, don't take your truck to a dealer to have powertrain work done, they have a tendancy to screw things up.:2cents:
