Re: Want be Long

Yeah, getting an 8.1 installed. Hopefully I want regret selling my other motor, I already miss it alittle. If im not happy with the 8.1 I will probably add a whipple Super Charger to it. I think it will be enough by itself.
Still gotta buy the 2" shafts and a trailer.
 
Re: Want be Long

Yeah, I also found out you can gain 18 HP at the rear wheels by changing the plugs. Sounds skeptical, but there is actually some proof. Found it on Dieselplace.
 
Re: Want be Long

Its the Plugs, you have gap them at .045 or something, there is a thread about 8.1 Mods on Diesel Place.
 
Re: Want be Long

It would seem like that motor would be a great base. All that displacement SUCKED down my the GM engineers for fule mileage.

Open that sucka up and it should be a monster.
 
Re: Want be Long

hmmm....I need new plugs on for my 8.1 Avy and a tune....
cant wait to see your rig up and running with that thing man.

Re: Want be Long

Talked to Woodlee today and they haven't really messed with it yet. He is busting ass trying to finish up Uncle Bobs buggy. I told him from the beginning that I am not in a hurry as long as its done right. Plus we might have some other ideas goin on.
 
Re: Want be Long

Yeah Woodlee has it in the shop, been mocking up the motor.Plasma table tore up so he had to get it fixed. I had to order some headers because the stock manifolds wouldn't work. Hope to have it back in the next couple of weeks.

Some pics I stole off Woodlees myspace page.
