Can You say 9 lbs of boost?

it is.. that was temp for mocking up the bracket for it

I did this... need to clean the engine bay.. I know it looks like it in the photo but the ALT pulley doesnt rub..

the 3800 is a great engine, makes good power and will last forever if you take care of it. the 3800 is a 90 degree V6 but the trans is a 60 degree pattern, so find a Camaro with a V6 and 5 speed and take the trans and pressure plate, since the engine you have is a front wheel drive you will also need a pilot bearing, as far as the drive shaft goes the end cap for the Datsun rear will slid into the Chevy one so its real easy to Fab up. mine has a painless wiring harness but the Camaro one will work because all series II N/A 3800s use the same PCM and are all pinned the same after 96, if you get a automatic trans PCM you will get Cell codes for it. If you have anymore questions hit me up. I realize I have a 510 and not an A10 but I know the 3800 in and out so if you have any question hit me up.

Engine and tranny installed, had to cut the fire wall, it was just easier than pounding it, im going to rivet a patch in place and use high temp Aircraft Fire wall sealent to seal it. going to install trans mount tomorrow and hope i dont have to get custom headers.

. Just fits on the driver's side

Updating from my phone.. So pics will be in several posts... Installed the mounts.. If I had a chance to do it again I would find the same size stock bolts just longer and stronger... Instructions said drill out the holes... Don't dont donit, u will never get the back bolt in and be able to put a nut on it, there is just not enough clearance, so I will just weld the back side to make up for it. Also the mounts set the engine really low and really far back. I think the stock exhaust manifolds will work just need some messaging on the passenger side. Ok enough talking here are the pics.

4.3 chevy is a good option if you don't mind the hate mail you may receive, powerbyace.com make a really good kit to install it and all you have to do is clearance the firewall and tunnel with the 5# hammer. and drill a few holes. not sure about the exhaust manifolds yet but it looks like they will clear fine.

The powerbyace stuff is nice, directions are clear also. I got the v6 stuff Im working on installing right now. I talked to the guy since his shop is like 1 1/2 from me. really knowledgeable and has been doing this stuff for a loooooonnnng time lol.

absolutely love the green truck.
