Ya everytime i look at my tb is see him! Its kinda creepy! Lol
So now that i have my baby up and running ill let ya all know what went on.
Well i got the brand new L92 long block from the local chevy dealer. It was $3816 gor the ling block and my buddy in the parts dept waived the core charge of $2500, but with tax $4200 out the door. I had to swap my oil pan over to the new block.
In thr process swapped in a new oil pressure sensor, starter and a few other odds and ends, i cleaned up the intake and trimmed some plastic then painted it a black metallic high time engine paint, then cleaned up the ports and tb opening, went through and polished the tb mainly cause ibwas bored but im pretty sure it should add like 50 wheel horse being all shinny now! But over all didnt get to crazy.
I did realize that the engineers of these body gm's needs to be throat punched, who the hell puts a engine a inch away from the fire wall? Theres pleanty of room to move it forward just a inch and give some damn clearance.
But over all pretty easy job, oh ya you have to turn the engine side ways to get it out of the engine, lol
My only issues is my oil pressure is constantly at 60+ psi unless in park then its down to 40, is this normal? Lol the old motor ran at 30 to 40 psi. The other issue is im have check engine light for knock sensor low input or something like that and tcm connection issues, but no driveabality issues.
