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.

Do you have any progress or install highlight pictures on the build Kris?

And thanks for the unnecessary courtesy...I don't mind any posts in my build thread that show badass j37's getting down & dirty.

fsttyms1

The removal and progress pics start around P.28

You should have said skip the first zillion pages of that thread! Lol

I love how quick it revs.

Are you planning on building your own longtube headers?

fsttyms1

I did. I said "towards the end is my 3.7 build"

Yep, along with the dual throttle body setup.

Hey those gauges came out real nice. Do you have any more videos or pics to see some more of them? Looks like you used blue led's

aameghoo

yeah I would love to do something like that with mine. Tried finding the DIY but everything is dead

Wait till you add the "and then some".

Nice. Is it me or does your temperature gauge seem to be a bit higher than normal? Or is it compensating for the bigger engine?

fsttyms1

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

With more power, larger wheels were needed








Yes i know. They are very dirty.....






Now to get some 275/35/18s on them and get them to fit under the wheel wells





.

fsttyms1

Now to do some cutting and welding to make the wheels fit in the wheel wells

I am interested to see how your fender work turns out.

I have been planning on doing the same thing for a few years now. I will most likely do it next winter.

typeR

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

yessss driving with your knees is so pro lol...some times when im eating i shift lefty lol

Now if only i had the power you are making

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.

fsttyms1

Winter time is killing me. With little 215/55/16 snow tires i have spun them dropping to 3rd to pass cars on the hwy. Talk about weird/scary feeling.

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.

fsttyms1

No i need to find them and get them installed.

fsttyms1

Im still rocking the stock tl-s tb. Im still fabing up the dual tb setup (wife wont let me buy a new tig after i broke mine so i have to pay a guy locally to do my aluminum welding (for now) and its hard to fab something when you cant tack pieces together But yes, i have in the past with a 70mm blox i was playing with and a mustang 80mm i played with using the stock dual spring setup.

Not the best video, wish one could record the audio better.
