This thread's got me motivated to sell off my 3.0L parts and find a 3.3L.

Got u mtivated to go black!!!!! Lol.

I always wondered how a Taylor front half would go on anything from a 2.7 block and up with just carbs even the original carbs?
it that an easy path for more power at higher revs?

[baja200merk]

Bush says the front half is a small piece of the puzzle. They will help but there is no miracle setup, its about 1000 little things that make power and take eons to do correctly.

Gary- Any updates or are you still in moving mode?

Yep always the story
whoever tests most, wins

Making headway.
My pistons spent 2 wks waiting on my machinist before going some place else. They had them back to me the next day but I did pay the going rate to have them done there..
$168. but that ain't bad.
I left an additional .010" on these to tighten up my squish band a bit.

Kevin, yes. Been working on the new place every day, all day for the last month. Trying to get the motor together before losing my compressor w/the move until I build my garage and then pole barn.

*EDIT*
Forgot, here's a couple pix's. Cut pistons and the cut stocker I drilled through to check dome thickness.

And powerabout, if you mean the X front 1/2 they do make more power but are a bitch to get the linkage set up correctly and near impossible to get them to open in sync.

fired mine up today hope to do some fine tuning tomorrow and hope to get it in the water tomorrow afternoon(i hope)




sounds good tho started real quick and sounded pretty stout

[Instigator]

Very cool Beef. Good luck.

[baja200merk]

Pistons look great but I like short skirts

Beefs lit off hope to get the gordon/timing advance/yamaha choke solenoid done today. That should help us find the thin spot in these domes

Squish ended up slightly tighter then I thought (rookie mistake) but only .003 should be fine, there is no part numbers to transfer on these pistons

How much port work did you guys do in that thing kevin? Just some routine cleanup or?. Mid bore carbs?
