So did your clutch fit and spin freely or is the tranny still just bolted to the engine with nothing inbetween?

quote Originally posted by ericjon262: I'm working on a set of better lifters for the 60*, so I took 3 lifters apart today, 1 3400 lifter 1 "LS7" lifter and 1 Comp Magnum SBC Lifter. The Comp and the LS7 were nearly identical. I also found that if you machined the piston on the V8 lifters down a little bit, you could install them in the 60* and turn them into solid lifters. Pics tomorrow

What's purportedly wrong with the stock roller lifters? Joshua tried the lifter modification provided by the 60 degree V6 store and had trouble with it. You may want to check with him about it.

quote Originally posted by ericjon262: to say the spring in the stock lifters are weak would be an understatement, retro-fitting the LS7 springs should allow me to get close to 7000 RPMs, without any issues.

I believe It's going to take a bit more than that to make it safe and solid for the 3500 to do 7k rpm routinely. Superdave on 60 degree took out rod bearings at least twice in his 3500 from what I recall and according to their lit.., GM did an enormous amount of work in flow, weight reduction and part strength from what I read to get the LS7 to do 7000 rpm. Keep in mind an LS7 lifter has to do more work weight and ratio wise (1.8:1) rockers than the 3500 lifters relatively speaking.

Just be sure you investigate this thoroughly as lifter spring strength also varies relative to the valve spring strength used not to mention how lifter pump up will affect/support the lifter spring. Just don't take any chances that can create problems is all I'm suggesting.

Good luck with yoru build man! I love to see turbo Fieros! Since you are in Pcola, do you ever go to the swamp meet @ the Boardwalk in Oakaloosa? Maybe we could have a little run, eh?

quote Originally posted by ericjon262: well guys, not much to report, I've been making a diligent effort to get the wiring sorted out. I'm also waiting on parts... I did get the injectors installed, along with the 3400 fuel rail/regulator. I've also found a location for the ECM, but I'll need to make a splash guard for it. I also destroyed my lifters that I was going to modify in an attempt to clean them. so it looks as though the real deal will be on my 3500's lifters.

Where are you going to mount your ECM? Thats one of the few things I still have to do on my 3400 swap

You may have covered this already, but what are you doing to make up for the fact that you are turning your power steering pump backwards?

it's a standard rotation pump, with a reverse rotation pulley.
