Got the top half of a z6. Head and mani. No VC.

What should I do with it? I've been wanting a spare top end so i can build a motor but now i need a bottom end.

I'm using a y8 but was wandering what i could do with it.

 

Seriously?

 

hmmm...this is one of those real thinker questions

 

Yes.


I think i need to clarify.

Is there anything worth doing to it to put on a y8 block or should i build a full z6 for boost?

 

Set it in your garage and cover it with a towel.

 

OMG
Search Z6 head on Y8 block.

 

Not wanting to do a swap for my car. was just wanting an extra motor.

should i stay all z6 or do a mix and match between the y8 and the z6??

 

Z6 would be my choice to build.

 

The pretty much what I wanted to know.

Is there a way to build up a torque convertor to handel a lot of boost so i can stay automatic? Or should i build the z6, with manual trans and then just find a manual shell to drop it in?

 

Ditch the auto.

 

There are kits to beef up the auto trans...but I agree, ditch the auto.

 

Was thinking that answer was coming, but hell, driving in Denver traffic with a stick, sucks..Majorly sucks.


Whats a realistic boost number to shoot for...or build for for that matter. I still would like to be able to hit 120-140 on the highway and be able to pull away from traffic when i pass.


Edit: I'm looking for a D16z6 block...correct?

 

Wow...I knew you were a moron before. But now.... holy chit

 

I didnt know you were a **** but now I do.

 

if your ever looking for a cheap modified stock torque convertor hit me up. I have one when mine was auto but the trans did not last long for me ... it stalled at 2800-3k rpms... if your looking for a bigger stall u will have to buy one ... and I recommend beefing the trans up if u plan on boosting or stalling any higher then 3k

 

If you want to make power at mile high Denver you will need the forced induction forum. To do it right takes money. If you're going to spend the money you may as well work with a B18 platform.

Plan now and save money.
