Well, .030 over should be alright as long as you don't have big power plans then...

You can do as you mentioned with the stock motor IF you change over to the turbo injectors, computer, vam, etc....basically do the complete swap except for the actual swap of the engines.

u say .30 should b alright. does that mean there will b a problem in the future? and i do have a computer, vam , injectors , and vam harness. thanks 4 your help!

today i got the big vam and a 8a-lb3 is this a good computer or not it was free.it all came from an 88 tc automatic. i can also get a pc-1 for $40

I said it should be alright because boring an engine .030 over is simply a waste of cylinder wall strength (removing cylinder wall material). Most people don't have any trouble though unless they push over 300hp.

The LB3 is a great computer.

Where the EGR position sensor wired are ct that connector off and splice into the three wores there. They are color coded and its easy. Other than you have to run one wire through the firewall for the VAM.

Hey stinger what do you mean by not going any father than .030 over. Dude think about the extra 2 cubic inches. In 302 terms thats almost enough for a "stroker motor"

 

[351wcoupe]

ok cool you got a computer then very good. Now I'll drive up and wire it for you if you give me the merk harness and stuff.

well u can come but it would be a long ride. since u told me so much i will meet u 1/2 way, lets say some where in manasas.i have comput.wire harness,vam and i believe all the sensors or at least the ones that were hooked on at the time. i payed $80, lets talk! $.
