The L27 aluminum manifold can be drilled and tapped to accept the L67 stovepipe from a 92/93 SSEi.

I can even give you the dimensions and thread sizes to drill and tap for the stovepipe and clamp.

If you're running on the track only, forget it. You don't need it.

Sorry. Hundreds of new posts a day. Sometimes I skim them quickly. If it'* ever going to be streetable, EGR it. Otherwise dump it if you want. But how are you going to trick teh PCM?

i've not even though too much on how to trick the PCM, i'll probably try and run a PCM off a car that didn't have the EGR to begin with.

as for the car... jeeze i dunno.the money'* gonna go into the engine and transmission and it'll probably take about a year for a low budget guy like me to build it up. the fortunite thing is my friend owns a junkyard. once i have a good motor getting a body to put it in shouldn't cost me more than $40.

looking over the bodies i think i'd like to use like a '91 Oldsmobile Silloutte like this one:



i'd just need the body, and the running gear. most of the parts would be stripped and returned to the junkyard. a non-running 16 year old minivan with no title is really friggin cheap. some serious weight reduction and some wide tires i bet i can get the thing to skitter down the track pretty quick. especially with a bottle fed 3800 pulling it along.

Hey Marik, What is the ECM part number on your race-van? (or, should I say the donor vehicle for the motor)

If it'* a calprom based one, we can probably turn the EGR off if we can find a map file for that family of ECM'*.

GM Tuners can turn it off.
