I Have A 150k Mile 1987 Gn Motor In Need Of A Rebuilt My Brother Just Gave Me A 1984 Totaled Regal With A 4.1 .
Can I Rebuilt The 4.1 And Put All Of The 1987 Gn Parts On That Block ? If No Why Not? If Yes, Will More Cubes Equal More Power? |

Re: 4.1 Vs 3.8
4.1 will have a 14 bolt oil pan vs. the 20 bolt pan.
Other than that, here's some links to help: http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pict...lockguide.html http://www.gnttype.org/general/rebuild.html http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pict...s/oilpans.html http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/recipes/41recipe.html

Re: 4.1 Vs 3.8
Thank You Very Much For The Advice I Will Rebuilt My 3.8 Motor As The Only Thing Wrong With It Is The High Miles And Very Little Smoke.
Now Are There Any Specific Rules I Should Follow. Like Oversize, Piston Type, Cam Size And Roller Lifters Or Not, Ect. I Never Have Time To Go To The Track But I Am Pretty Shore I Race More Than Does That Do Go To The Track . I Will Drive This Car Every Day. And I Don’t Have A Million Dollar Budget. I Don’t Want To Start With The Bolt Ons To The Have To Take Them Of And Then Rebuilt The Block And Heads . I Want A Strong Solid Foundation Now So That When I Have The Money For The 1500.00 Turbo And The 1000.00 Intercooler I Wont Have To Do Anything Else. So If There Is A Rule Of Thumb Or List Of Them What Is It Or Where Can I Find Them. Thank You Very Much For Your Time And Very Valuable Advice. Dave. |
