It would be nice to be able to buy pre-bent like this.

eliminate all those areas of potential cracks. any place provide this?

willmoodom

I'm looking to have mine modded for RWD too, but want the egr left intact. Gives me the choice of using it or not with a block off plate.

willmoodom

due to all the people running custom manifolds and many people complaining of cracking. What determines the integrity and longterm condition of the manifold? I assume it was the amount of heat guys were producing with 30 and 40 lbs of boost with the big turbos. The most I will run is 20psi on ...

willmoodom

No word from you. Have you sent off the 1G turbo harness?

willmoodom

Thanks a bunch DJ! If it wasn't for you prodding, I would have been assed out. Definitely was ready to call it a day and wait till tomorrow. I haven't remove the engine yet. For those that don't know, I drove my 06 impala and the trunk is how I transported the block. LOL Will attempt to get it out ...

What day are you going to Crazy Rays? I can go in the mornings if you want to go together. I'll have to be back at work in B'more at 3PM though. It won't be the first time I've come straight from the junkyard to the office.
That's tight DJ. I'm looking to go either Friday or Saturday. Most likely ...

who has the best prices on wiseco pistons and eagle rods? Both separate and as a combo? Average low prices I'm seeing on the combo are $739-750

Today I took my fist step towards 63/64 project. I purchased the entire topend from a dsm guy for 3oo. should have it by friday. next is sourcing a WB g64, but have'nt been able to get to crazy rays yet. I may be able to get the eagle /wiseco combo at a slight discount from the guy I bought the 63 ...

Disregard that DJ. I may just go with the rx7 tranny. Mines is on it's way out anyway.

willmoodom

DJ, I'll take that drive shaft off you. PM me your details.

willmoodom

for guys doing the 4g swap in a rear drive or starquest platform, what are you doing for the driveshaft? especially if engine is moved forward a few degrees?

Anyway top determine if a block has been overheated? I doubt the seller will dispose that info. honestly.

willmoodom

you know, I envy you guys who are capable, through experience, of assembling an engine. I think that is the ultimate rush knowing you can go out pick up a piece of shit and 2 weeks later know it will be pushing what you want it to. Not worrying about how many miles is on the engine. i think I'll ...

willmoodom

so far I've only spoken to a shop called rings and bearings here in rockville Md. I dont know about them folks.

willmoodom

I've seen people spend 5x the amount they had to on an engine only to have it blow up due to some external problem that would have happened regardless. They could have built 5 for the same price had they avoided all the little stupid things that 50 years of machine shops have convinced people they ...

My uncle is an amazing welder and he didn't want to go near my exhaust manifold. Most welders say that welding cast iron never turns out well, and if it does, not for long.

I think it would be safe to say we'd all like a top mount cast manifold. I'm sure we could get a dozen people on here to ...

willmoodom

just to answer my question, I guess they are nothing. Part of the casting

willmoodom

I am seeing more holes on the head than the gasket has. Those little slits right around the cylinder of the head,there are 6 of them. what are they for? the slits are not on the block.

willmoodom

You always started the work with dip clean and magnifluxing, then you would 'line bore' the mains and re bore the cylinders making sure the cylinders were exactly perpendicular to the crankshaft, and the crank is in a true straight bore, then depending on the size of your piston ,you would set your ...

willmoodom

I assume the ss would fall apart, but a cast I figured would stand up especially since the only thing being cut and rewelded is the mani to head flange. How often are the flanges for sale on the questclub site? I'd love to have a custom header but I've never welded nor can I afford someone doing the ...

willmoodom

I used Scat rods and they seemed fine. Be sure to inspect everything though even though its new just be be sure they're quality is up to par.

No clue about CP pistons. Would they even offer an 87mm bore that would work for a 4G64 with a DOHC head?

If you don't know, I wont mess with them! but ...

willmoodom

You will need to speak to a machinist (or a few) and explain to them the specifics and they will have a pricelist for common jobs and should be able to give a quote for oddball things like oil squirters.

Required in most cases

Hone (bore if necessary)
Polish Crank (turn if necessary)
Deck block ...

willmoodom

has anyone attempted cutting the flange off and turning the many upside down and rewelding for a top mount? would that work?
Or maybe closing the bottom and welding turbo flange up top?

willmoodom

I am pretty much decided on the wiseco piston for my g64/g63 hybrid however, what's the deal on cp pistons?
As for rods, eagle H beam are a strong runner, but scats are sounding real nice too. Any thoughts on cp pistons and scat rods? My power goals for this engine is 400. on a side note, the main ...

willmoodom

Concerning the 4g64 wide block, I am still trying to decide on the wiseco/ eagle combo or the wiseco/ scat combo. Meanwhile what work do you guys recommend getting done to the block itself. BTW, This is for the g64/g63 hybrid and will be using the g64 crank in a rear wheel config. Is there a flat ...

What about the engine mount plates you made? I can definitely use a set of them. How much? Looking to donate to your travel fund.

Okay, taking another look,crank timing sprocket/gears need changing, so the g63 cam gear stays in place. what crank sprocket/gears to go with?

willmoodom

Yes and No. take for instance the first site you linked me to regarding cam gear and timing. That link tells and labels the parts that will need to be changed but it doesnt state what to replace them with. The tranny was very informing because it gave me choices to go with that WILL work. I assume ...

After dealing with the Quest I've come accustomed to having a msm for any work needing to be done. I do have the electric manual with all the 4g engines in it but prefer something dedicated to the 4g64.

willmoodom

I've been doing a lot of researching and reading on this site and I'm coming across some issues that haven't really been concluded such as the timing situation concerning the difference in 63 and 64 cam gears, flywheel/tranny/starter combination. and a ton of other stuff. some of the posts touch on ...

I was hoping for a freeb. oh well, guess I'll have to buy one outright. Thanks for the reply.

would you happen to have one laying around?

thanks. I know about the haynes and chilton, but I was hoping for a manufacturers service man.

any 4g64 (truck version) service manuals available? would definitely comes in handy with these swaps and build ups.
