finally cleaned her off somewhat and charging the battery to move it so she can be towed


the huge motor i got in there

 

sorry about the cell phone pics the cameras dead. also was running out of light to take pics of the body and interior

 

So where's it going? What are you doing to it?

 

im takin to my auto class to relpace the head gasket and my plans for it are slp intake,headers,magnaflow catback, pullies, port and polish head and tb since ill have the heads off and then im thinking maybe some new wheels

 

Right on! I'm doing the same thing to my Camaro too! If you look at my build thread you'll see it. I didn't know there was an SLP intake for the 3.4L? Can't wait to see your progress!

 

^Here's the SLP 3.4 CAI. It's actually to a LT1 car but it's the exact same thing. It'll bolt right up to a 3.4. I almost bought it before I got my hands on a used K&N CAI.

Ah, I didn't know the SLP intake for the LT1 fit on the 3.4L. Now, what would be the HP gain versus the setup I have now? I'm building a box to go around my cone so it sucks cold air behind the headlight and I am extending the CAI pipe to go right to the throttlebody. This is my current set up:

 

Well if you want the best performance, you'll extend that pipe all the way down to the air dam area where the air comes from. Then make a little plate that blocks off the engine heat from the air dam area. Just like the K&N CAI does. Basically the air filter can not be seen from under the hood of the car. You have to get under the car and remove the air dam to see the filter. Here's a pic of my K&N CAI. The SLP works the same way as mine. It goes all the way to the air dam area.



In this next picture you can see the heat shield down close to the filter...



As for HP gain, you won't gain much. 1-3 at most I'd say. I've heard that the real gain is in the MPG's when you do a decent CAI.

 

yea the cai i have in there now is from the previous owner and im not really likeing it it seems to me to extend down wayyyy to much

 

its tow day! all ready to go
the only real defect in the body is the smallish area of rust on the hood but its not too bad
as you can see the windows came tinted when i bought it so check that one off the list. sorry about no interior pics forgot to take them but all in all pretty excited because work on it starts monday
