yes the engines with the chain drive will bolt up from what i am told and they are shorter in length and put out more power they also have a 8 bolt crank flange so finding a manual transmission fly wheel is not a problem . yes my camera sucks on my phone
Thanks, I think I've found one here in Denver with low miles at a good price, I can see a set of 180 degree headers feeding twin turbos, should sound just evil...
The tensioner really should be on the slack side of the belt. The belt tension while trying to pull the supercharger under full boost will pull the tensioner back and cause the belt to slip or be thrown.
simple idler pulley bracket finished i need to get the AC pump so the belt runs right and it would be nice to have AC. belt adjustment will be manually done i have bought 2 5/16 heim joints one right hand thread the other left hand thread but they dint have any aluminum hexagon rod to make the adjuster
today i degreased the engine the best i could i use oven cleaner let it sit for about a hour then pressure wash it off nice and clean and tomorrow i am going to replace the timing belt and i think i am going to stack the head gasket so it lowers the compression
I have decided to not stack the head gaskets after talking to a member over at motorgeek he has supercharged his 4.2 engine and runs 10 pounds of boost through a intercooler and said he sees about 8 pounds at the manifold and has not had any detonation problems he said he is making just over 400 horsepower so i figure with the use of the water / methanol injection i should be fine with the 15 pounds of boost and should be making 550 plus HP just enough to have fun
i took all the plugs out of the engine i bought a few week back and did a leak down test and its not good so i pull the head on 1 side and there it is water in one of the cylinders and rusty mud on the top of the piston in another so i dry them out and clean them up then i turn the crank bringing the piston to bottom dead center and there it is pitted cylinder at least a 1/16 inch deep so i call the bone yard i bought it from and send them a picture and thank god they are good they are sending me another engine i bet they check this one out better before they send it

What a fracking pain in the azz, your not having the best of luck with the 4.2, hope the replacement is good.
i just ordered Injector bungs so i can use the more common 14 mm injectors and i ordered up some injectors i plane on having the engine all in and running by the end of January but i don't think i will have the water / methanol injection on so i wont be running it to much and i wont bring it into boost

well i put the new timing belt on with a new water pump so that is all set to go now and this next week i don't think there will be much going on in the shop so i should be able to get the engine all ready to go in . I sure have been having fun with this build
2. That idler bracket may not be stiff enough to maintain enough belt tension to drive the blower. Keep an eye on that if you find yourself fighting belt slip or not making as much boost as you should be.
thanks will the belt is 136 long 31 inches longer than stock and i agree the idler bracket is not as strong as i would like so i am going to try to build one out of some 1/2 inch thick aluminum
i started to build a new idler pulley bracket and it is just as ugly as the other one i built out of steel but i will shape it and sand it to make it look better and i am going to need some one to weld the aluminum

Thanks wftb, i think i need to upgrade my transmission but i am gonna try this one but i don't think it will last because of what i am told from transmission guys
