wombat Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 what mercruiser parts did you use in your engine and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Old school (early 80's) Swapped the OMC for the AMC head because the designs and manifolds are different. This is just stuff I had laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Also the crank is heavier than the stock 2.5L crank. Pontiac also used that crank in the race versions of the Fiero. Its the same effect as adding a heavier flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 so really all you used was a mercruiser block and internals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Correct. I used the AMC 2.5L head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I stand corrected on my lift, took all the crap outta the back of my truck (transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, spare tire, etc) and the rear raised up about another 1.5"! Damn, now I can take my 1" coil spacers and rear 1" shackles and probably clear 32" without cutting. Here's before I took the crap outta the back on 31's.

outlaw star Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Now I need new sway bar links (one broke installing the lift) and put my track bar on. Might throw these on along with some 32" tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
