I found a pretty good deal on an almost-complete 6 bolt stroker motor here in Des Moines where my car took a crap on me. Basically it just needs cams and gears and it's ready to be put into my car. As a bonus, the guy is willing to help me for a weekend to do the swap. The motor has all the bells and whistles, I can't remember exactly right now what was put on it, but it totaled around $6000 for everything new, it has about 800 miles on it, and safely revved to 8500. My friend only made two passes on it before the car got destroyed (severe vandalism) and he parted it out. I believe he got 8 seconds in the 8th at 14psi with a FP3065 turbo.

For those of you who might know him, it's Mike Clark's motor from his green 1g, I believe he had a Haltech EMS on it. This is the guy who helped me do all my car stuff when I lived in Iowa a couple years back.

Oh, I forgot to mention, it comes with a flywheel and clutch already on it and balanced.

I should be picking it up this weekend and maybe doing the install over the next week or so. I'll post a complete parts list and pictures when I get them, I'm pretty excited for this.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

280 cams/adjustable cam gears

A smoother shifting tranny and you are setup for a very quick ride.

I would say clean up the motor and engine bay while you are in there, make it perty. :)

All of a sudden the turbo is a little small for the motor....

Also, since I'm a noob, what would adjustable cam gears get me over regular ones from Mitsu? I can get Mitsu ones for free, the guy has some laying around he's throwing in with the motor.

Just use the stockers, and don't sweat the 20G's size on that stroker, it'll just spool like a 16G! That rocks!

Use stock cam gears since you get them for free.

Yea that would be fine. The 20G will make it spool nice and fast!

Yeah, that will spool yesterday.

Mike Clark, there's a name I haven't heard for awhile. Came on the local board years ago saying everyone was an idiot and his car would theoretically run 9's or something. He got booted from NABR for that stuff.

Oh yea. I knew the name, but couldn't figure out who it was.
