engine swap

[NecroWolf]

i believe my poor old engine in my ty might be on it's last leg. i got a spare l35 sitting here. other than swapping the main caps and the intake will there be any other issues? like the higher compression? i believe it's a 9:1 engine. if i just turn my manual boost controler down i'll be good right?

awesome. trucks been smoking running down the road. so i think the rings might be about done, but i wanted to change my oil first to make sure, i had been tryin to look for fuel leaks and contaminated my oil will fuel really bad. so time will tell, next test is a leak down test

Re: engine swap

Don't swap out the main caps without doing an align bore, you'll open up a lot more problems with cap alignment. The engine should hold together for a while as long as you keep the boost down
