Building a 3.2 short stroke

[gsmith660]

I have a 3.0 liter to rebuild now the saga begins! 3.2 short stroke turbo build using electronic ignition, m\Megasquirt 3, Garrett GT35 turbo euro, exhaust, twin plug

[gsmith660]

This is what I am starting with. It is rougher than I expected but I will take what I can. The machinist I went through is now requesting that the seller supply the parts that were unusable but the internals so far seem to be in good reusable shape. More pics to come as I break it down.

Making progress good thing I am not using these pistons and cylinder they are a mess

[gsmith660]

On the left side all the exhaust head studs were broken expect the same on the right side as well

You'd be surprised how nice the outsides come up, after a decent media blast then vapour hone...

I am getting 3.2 P/Cs but I may clean them up and if they are good may sell them

I have never been able to get money for used 3.0 p&c’s.

Why is this in the Turbo subforum?

Because it is a turbo build

Well you answered my question about how much force I need to use to get the cylinders out

I think that's a great platform to start with.

Have it broke down to the case. The seller admitted he had no idea the condition of the motor was so bad and may be issuing a partial refund. All the major components will be off to get cleaned and checked and a plan be made of how to proceed in a week or two

[gsmith660]

Pulled the sump plate and screen and was pleased to see no metal on the magnet or the plate that’s a good sign.

For a turbo 3.2SS what oil pump does the brain trust recommend?

[flat6pilot]

I went with a 964 pump with turbo piston squirters on my 3.0l ---> 3.2 turbo build.

Did that require case mods other than removing the .8 mm squirrels and installing 1.2 mm?

[gsmith660]

All packed up going to get cleaned and checked

[gsmith660]

Some of the bits waiting to go back on after I get this put back together it’s gonna take time because this took me by surprise so I have to wait until money is available to buy parts I want.

Where did the motor originate? Are you turning the cab into a turbo cab? Was this car just sitting in someones driveway? How does a motor get that way?

Its been turbocharged for 9 years I recently blew up my 2.7 experiment this motor was in Florida and the seller had no idea how to store a motor so it was left to the elements. I have had this car since 1983
this is what I started with
