3.7 build (and then some)
Figured id post in here instead of youngones thread.
Here is a link to my "Now what am i doing" thread. Towards the end is my 3.7 conversion.

Here is the most recent vid.
Here is another lil vid. Driving with my knees, shifting with one hand, holding camera with the other. Hard to tell in vid, but 2nd i was modulating throttle to about 2/3 to minimize wheel spin, Around 70 i start going up hill until i let off in vid for traffic ahead. The engine is still pretty much a virgin with only 650 miles on it.

Temp gauge is normal. The motor runs at 170 deg. It may be slightly off because i pulled the needles off when i did my led gauges on the temp and fuel to remove the green filter and make the red/blue on the temp but if it is its only 1/2 to 1 line

same urethane meterial as energy suspension stuff but put in the potiac GTO springs for shipping purposes went to a Pontiac dealer and the techs just gave em to me ... ultimately I had planned on having my koni yellow sp3 valves reversed in the front so when u cranked em to full stiff it would have been the extension that was tightened instead of the compression stroke

Im waiting on my metal stretcher/shrinker to get here. Just ordered them monday. I took those off a Audi A6 v8 to play with. Im heading out to the salvage yard to pick up a used fender to start the actual work on so my car has less down time.

I may take my Koni Shocks off and send them in and have the valving flipped to control the dampening from up top. Id like to see if they can make the shock valving different to make it stiffer overall.
