I will be making a brace I'll probabily tie it into one of the head studs, it's 16 Guage tubing which I thought was sufficient for the build... I'm hoping! I can always have headers professionally built later in time! :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Explain the adapter plate? We're going to file off the inside the tube of the drivers side of the engine of all the discrepancies! Also me too it's been in the works and it's already drug out further than ide like! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Some slow but sure progress... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

I used the Camaro harness and computer. There was lots of wire that came out of the Comanche harness, and a good bit that came out of the Camaro harness, but in the end, it all looks clean and works really well. Obviously that won't be the case for a turbo... I bolted the 2.8L motor mounts to the 3.4L. All the bosses are there and tapped. If you want to keep A/C, you need to figure out how to use the camaro mount on the pass side, but you should be able to use the Jeep mount on the driver's side. FWIW, the Camaro frame is actually quite a bit roomier than the Comanche, so it might not work anyway. Take a few pics of the Camaro pass side mount for me if you can! In '86, the 2.8 was externally balanced. By the late 80's, it was internally balanced, as were the 3.1 and 3.4L's. So you need a flywheel from an internally balanced engine. I believe the same applies to the flexplate if you're doing an auto. You can see the weights if you look a the original flywheel/flexplate. I suppose you could have a machine shop mill the bosses off, but I found it far cheaper to buy a flywheel for a '90 2.8L S-10. The Camaro flywheel has a deep dish to it for some reason, and doesn't work with the Jeep transmissions. Much of this is in my build thread, linked below... Good luck!!

I'll get a picture when I'm back out there, I wonder if I could trim the mount up a bit or relocate it a little towards the rear to keep the pump... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Also, why do I need that flywheel? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Thanks a ton! This is very valuable info to me as I'm about to drop the motor in here soon, I'm not sure if the pass side Camaro mount will work, it's oddly long. Also, how did you go about using the Camaro intake as far as wiring up EFI goes? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Pulling the old engine now! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Well, I just blew the head gasket on the 2.8 so time to throw the 3.4 in! I was driving and it got really hot and stopped at my uncles, I popped the hood and there was steam coming from the Carb cleaner from a hose that connected to the valve cover! Then I pulled the dip stick and steam barreled out of it and it had milk on it :( I got 228,000 out of the 2.8 and I see no use putting in the work to change the head gasket when I have a rebuilt 3.4 sitting in my shed! So I see this as more of an opportunity than anything seeing as I work from home now! :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

just bought all these for $400 should make the process easier!! 60gal compressor, 16" drill press and a JET ban saw! Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Lots of pictures, turbo manifold in the making... Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Everything's from different places Jegs, Summit, EBay, ect... I should of made a bull list w/ links. The turbo manifold is the hardest part. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I'd like to know who it is! I've seen a Red one and a White one in almost perfect condition! If anyone knows who it is let me know, I'm in Charlie Company MTIC Lance Corporal Ochs!

Here are the cuts I'll be making with the plasma cutter some time this week!

Slow progress but just finished fabing up the header flange

Didn't get much done last weekend, I was in a rush all weekend, but I did get the exhaust flanges made out of 3/8 steel.

Starting the header build tomorrow! I'll post pictures of my progress.

It's pretty balanced with the speakers though, it's sort of hard to put it into words. With different types of music it can deffinatly overpower the speakers.

I'd still like an answer... lol

dittoX3I will get pictures when I go home this weekend! I extended the 3 studs coming off the wall and put a nut on it. So it's got the 3 studs holding it on each side, and it was a very tight fit. I bet it could hold a decent amount of weight before giving!

That's for sure!

Custom header tubing just came in

More pictures and the Turbo!
