I know a few of you have seen some of the stuff I've posted about my '91 dime. I am doing stuff that shouldn't be done - like a 3.4 60* V6 out of a '95 Camaro (207 CID :thinking:), 5 speed, 4.10 Eaton posi disc rear, 3 inch single exhaust.
This last weekend, I put a 500 lift, 292 duration with 112 centerline in this little weezer, and advanced the cam 4* with a Cloyes timing chain. I got rid of the T body fuel infection and went with an Edelbrock intake and Holley 390 CFM, and a Mallory dual point. Idles like crap - or real nice depending on how you look at it. Sounds funny for a little six banger. I have a 455 CFM Holley that I will take to test and tune to see how it works.
It feels like high 13s now, I am going to try and put in the headers and spray in the next few nights. Tomorrow, (Wednesday) is test and tune at No Problem Raceway in Southern Louisiana where I will be trying to dial it in a little better. The 390 still feels weak on providing enough juice for the engine, Ill try the 455 CFM. If it actually gets a high 13, with spray I may be in the 12s :yikes:.
I know this sounds goofy to you guys running 9s and 8s, but I don't know of anyone else who has done this.
BTW, I was at the track and hole shotted an '06 GTO, went 7/8ths of the track before he passed me at the traps. He pooped himself when he saw that cheesy little 6 in my truck. :cool4: I was running low 16s, he was running high 15s.
I have a Buick Grand National 3.8 without fuel injection on a stand ready to replace the 3.4 - cammed, ported, Aluminum intake, Holley, pistons etc. Damn parts are expensive... Pics to come soon.
OK, enough boring details. See you guys at the track. A prize for the slowest truck? I'm all over it.:rock:

I like the idea of having something different.

Thanks guys, I'll never make it to the big time wheelies or the 8s with this build, but it's still fun, streetable and gets fair gas mileage. It also has a different sound - a lumpy idle six sound :uhoh2:. The stock mustangs and camaros will bum when they get dusted by a puny V6. :rock:
