3.4L pushrod Swap (lots of pics) (Page 2/62)

The last shot of the 2.8L in the car.

A couple of pics with the craddle supported and unbolted.
An easy trick to getting the front craddle bolts out that I found is to take the nut off and push on the bolt then use a jack to slowly jack up then it will just fly out. The backs just lower down to the stands.


I used a chain hook to the trunk latch and a forklift to raise the back, with the craddle unbolted the back is much lighter.

Cool pics, keep 'em coming. A couple questions though: where's the standing in the engine bay picture? And just wondering, what was the reason for the low oil pressure on the old engine?

no standing in the bay as I am the one with the camera
And the low oil is a broken lifter, which in turn, caused the engine to get the rod knock

I found that the back manifilod was cracked. Luckly we have alot of parts around

And I found that stock manifold has this crappy restriction in 2 of the ports.

After a quick porting job there are gone.

this might be good for a couple of horses, mabey.
