G36 Monkey's 1999 4.3 Stroker. Paint Pics Post 397 :)

[g36 monkey]

You guys are making me blush

Thanks for the compliments. I love it, and I can certainly deal with getting picked on. I have come to expect it. At the very least I can hold my own.

I loved building it, can't wait to build something else

*cough* Single Turbo *cough*

I would run a supercharger if I did boost

That's a possibility. When I got a big bank I might build another block for boost. This one is well suited as n/a

 

[bonestock3.8DTH]

Im feeling a single turbo like Ryan suggested can you say like 400+ at the tire? ;D

 

[g36 monkey]

I believe I can achieve that with a supercharger. I want power all the time, no lag. I know, I'm picky. I have room to be as that is imaginary for the time being ;p

OORRRR Pill it till you kill it then a supersix engine and a turbo or supercharger even better idea!

 

[g36 monkey]

lmao, you go ahead and buy me a super six long rod 4.3 and I'll be glad to put it in. a mere 8 grand capable of withstanding over 600 horse.

then buy me a supercharger and i'll do it ;p

you could do a coyote swap for that kinda money...

 

[g36 monkey]

no, I could buy a coyote motor for that kind of money. no transmission, unless I use the T5, but then no bell housing. Then I have to get a new drive shaft, computer, and the list goes on.

I did something thats the same motor but with a bigger stroke.
With the coyote I would have to finagle and do all kinds of custom bull I don't have the time, money, or patience to do to my daily driver. the car that can't be down for very long.

Thanks for the input though.

You can build a good 4.2L/4.3L cheaper than buying one from SSM. Or find a used built motor. (That's the route I took when doing the 4.2L.)

Going against the grain building a v6, man love, and small mammals heating their nuts, what a great thread lol. Congrats on doing something different and coming out of it with a clean install that works awesome.

 

[g36 monkey]

Thanks for the compliments


Lilroush, I know, I was just saying if I decided to get lazy haha.

 

[g36 monkey]

Alright, little update.

here is the front brakes (13" PBR probably off a mach) and the SVE lowering springs, and prothane bushings everywhere. Only the body side iso on the front, both iso's in the back.

While in there we did the inner and outer tie rod ends and ball joints.

There is no coating in the center of these brakes, and the calipers don't grab the whole thing, that's my only complaint, the rust. I am going to make it black.

Yes I know "rotors and paint zomgz he's crazy" I am a taping boss, and clearly the only area not being grabbed is rusty lol. The back was already done.

We also got bored and shot some "eye liner" on the front bumper. I hope Dal doesn't think I'm copying too much ;p

Pics:

Stock brakes (ballin red calipers!)

Loading down with parts

My dad and my buddy giving a hand (Whitey on this forum is my buddy)

Me and some 5 o'clock shadow opening boxes haha

Felt like something was supposed to be in there.

Painted the fender liner too, as you can see Note all the nice shiny new parts.

The red on the pads is just that anti squeak stuff haha

Lowered, not much, but enough to make her look nice

The eye liner.


Hope your happy now Dylan

 

[bonestock3.8DTH]

Yes! Veddy happy brakes look awesome behind those wheels cant wait to get my tig ol brakes but looks good man! That "eye liner" looks awesome

 

[clark98gt]

I like the "eye liner" mod. It is something subtle that looks good.

 

[mygreengt]

if your referring to me as "Dylan," its Dillon, JERK!!

the springs should settle quite a bit more.

 

[g36 monkey]

mygreengt, or Dillon, I was referencing Bonestock3.8, who is Dylan ;p

Thanks for the compliments
And yes they are slowly settling, every now and then I jam my fingers between the fender and tire and the gap gets smaller.

I think it looks nice, and it feels like a whole new car up front

 

[Anchor-Room]

I believe I can achieve that with a supercharger. I want power all the time, no lag.

= Roots or Twin Screw.....

man if I were to call everyone a jerk that messed up the spelling on my name I would be ranting all day long. Half of my credit cards are spelled wrong even after trying to correct them....

 

[g36 monkey]

htf do you mess up Scott?

Anchor-room, whats your name so I don't feel awkward calling you anchor room.


And I know I can do that
