Title: Something to think about...... Post by: FieroBUZZ on May 09, 2003, 11:59:27 am We all see lots of car clubs with similar cars. If we get our chit together this will be an awesome lineup.
4 cyls: 2.5 L 6 cyls: 2.8 L 3.1 L (Steve) 3.4 L (warmed over, Tyler) 3.4 TDC (Graeme) God knows what he'll do with it 3.4 DOHC (Nick) and a garage too! 3800 S1 s/c (tired & stock,what's his name) 3800 S1 s/c (freshened up, Eric) 3800 S2 s/c (nice and new, Dan) 8 cyls: 4.6 Northstar (Aaron) 4.9 Caddy (maybe, I heard Lee was doing one) SBC (Nick) All this variety with the same basic platform. Quite a feat for an old car nobody seems too impressed with. Be afwaid....be vewwwy afwaid!!!! ;D Title: Re:Something to think about...... Post by: WillEV on May 09, 2003, 12:20:00 pm Don't forget me

just so you know, the TDC and the DOHC are the same engine etc. The Twin Dual Cam moniker came via SAE (why?) and the better descriptive name of dohc is generally used now. My plan is to turbo charge it. Getting all the parts together but it will take some time and doing as the entire engine will be rebuilt for that purpose (cu$tom pi$ton$, etc) :o But a neat summary. Makes one think! or worse yet, imagine! Title: Re:Something to think about...... Post by: fiero1 on May 09, 2003, 01:01:53 pm 8)For some reason i would not trade my 2.8 for anything when it goes it's going in for a rebuilt ;D ;D,im trying to keep this car as original as possible,actually last night i was at the corner stores 2 young lads came out of their car came over & they did not have a clew the make of my car i thought they were pulling my leg but to see the look on their faces when i showed them the pontiac name on the rear bumper.......go figure ???
Title: Re:Something to think about...... Post by: FieroBUZZ on May 09, 2003, 06:41:30 pm ELMER? You'll hurt my feeling.......
I know they're the same, I always thought the two names were a kind of version cutoff to distinguish years. I had my DOHC fun 28 years ago with a Fiat 124 Spider. Give a guy a swollen spindle and it goes straight to his head. 8) Title: Re:Something to think about...... Post by: fiero308 on May 09, 2003, 06:45:02 pm sorry; the accent fooled me. It IS Robin Williams, isn't it???? ;D
We need a quad 4 and a turbo to round things out a bit. (as in don't wait for me - my project list just got derailed by buying the 3.4... :o) Title: Re:Something to think about......
