is anyone still watching this thread? i have my powdercoated block and ported head for sale... head is disassemled but comes with brand new supertech oversized valves, 42mm intake, 36mm exhaust. new valve guides and seals.. would like to see $300 for the block (also have some misc parts that could go with it) and $500 for the head (valves, guides and seals cost me $300 alone).

got my chip!

[RRIDER450]

got my belt tensioner work. decided to go with an adustable link instead of a spring. i think it looks better and will have more adjustablity. the stack of washers i have on it will be removed and replaced with a spacer. i just did that for mach up purposes.. let me know wat you think so far.

What the???? Isnt that a supercharger for a v8????

[RRIDER450]

its accually off of alot of things. prob the most common is the pontiac 3.8 V6 but you can also see them on the 5.0 stangs. mine came off of a 2000 grand prix. and i got it DIRT CHEAP!! lol the charger is good for a 3.0 motor to a 5.0. so im just a little shy on my displacement but ive seen others run them on a vr6 before.
