My sierra build....

[pt_y2k]

Well since my tramper sierra decided to shit herself last month ive decided to go all out and do it someway right this time....collected my new shell last friday nite,she's a 2.9 12V V6 with a little niceys like koni's,polybushed,ashley system with scorpion rear box,its got a cossie spoiler and grille so must get a cossie front bumper to finish off the aesthitic side of things.Im going with a 24V BOA Cosworth lump which i should have in my possesion middle of the week.Doing the conversion is being made much simpler by already havin a v6 shell,it means i dont have to change the tank,lines,pump,box,flywheel and starter!! im hoping with a few little mods to have bout 220bhp and over 200lb ft of torque,all n/a of course!! Still undecided on what rear set up im going with yet,either 2l back drums,push in shafts and my "custom" handbrake for those of ye that saw it in my tramper or disc setup,bolt on shafts and a hydro which is proper the favoured option with the extra power!! So heres a brief spec list of how it will be all going well in a months time,im hoping to put the car together for D-rift on the 4th july and strip her down end off season and seam weld the shell etc when all nigglys ares sorted....

90 Sierra Sapphire Shell
24V BOA Cosworth

Is that lump very heavy paul?

[pt_y2k]

I dont have or could never find tech specs for the weight of it frank but the block is actually quite small and it has two alloy heads which helps,that coupled with the removal of automatic tensioners,air con pump,possibly power steering pump should be alot less,ive a manual alternator tensioner put on mine and all il be running for a start is that,water pump and bottom pulley,should help power a bit too!!Must make up my downpipes both with decats,lighten my flywheel,blank off the egr valve,short ram intake pipe,removing viscous fan im hoping for over 220bhp and well higher that 200lb/ft torque!!
