Inline 6 with turbo

[John McIntire]

I'm with ya on doing something different! The trouble I'm having is just finding the basic info on these engines! Is it a 230? a 250? What oil does it take? How much? What kind of filter? Just the bare basics. I bought Santucci's book, and it good, but doesn't have the basic info I was looking for.
I belong to inliners, and browse there once a week maybe just to get some more knowledge.

John, I'll get you some pics this weekend hopefully, as long as the weather cooperates! Can't wait to pick your brain on some stuff!

You guys can aske me anything.......I really like the engine for the most part......the only shortcomming is that is pretty small and if you build it for boost most likely the part throttle performance is a compromise.

At least thats what I found out. I had a GT4788 which is quiet large. All I wanted to do is keep my foot in it!.LOL

Things I know

Darton Makes the sleeves...
Coan will make the flywheel adaptor ( has the blueprint)
The torque convertor will bolt in thru the starter hole
Kip at Cam Motion will grind the cam..he has made some billet cores (expensive)
Anybody can make a fab manifold.
Use the stock injection location..works perfect
Replace the rear cam caps with billet as they break in time
Will need a lower girdle if you make big boost.
Stock crank is ok
of course you could run any good rod and piston combo
Ferrara makes the valves & springs

If I was doint an NA engine I would twist the engine into the 8000 rpm area to make some decent HP...the four valve could care less

I think to build this NA you sure need to change the sleeves first thing....the junkyard engines almost always have sleeve failure.

The cores run about $250.00

Here ya go John! This is how she sits now, I'd love to keep her this way, just upgrade the steering, suspension and brakes.
