Re: Teaser alert.....
Did you find out anything else on the engine? I found this if it helps.http://corvette-racing.tripod.com/id11.html

Then came Ryan Falconer, an engineer who had worked on Chevrolet V8s for road racing for many years. He started building engines in 1963 for the Lola GT cars that did Le Mans that year. He saw the potential for building a Turbocharged V6 engine that would be installed on a Lola T600 chassis. But Lola did not accept so he went to Ted Field, who accepted and ran it for the 1982 Daytona Finale. The car had a V6 3,4L twin turbo engine and was an absolute rocket, but retired from the race. Subsequently, IMSA banned twin turbo cars. The switch to a single turbo engine could be easily done, but Interscope suddenly quit racing at the beginning of 1983. Falconer's motor was a 3,4L single turbo V6 with cast iron block and aluminium cylinder heads. The single Warner Ishi turbocharger unit produced 700hp at 8500rpm and Ryan converted the Porsche injection to go on it.

Re: Teaser alert.....
I'll have to verify that once I get it home & on the stand.
From what I can see, it did just fine.

Re: Teaser alert.....
It actually looks like it might fit lengthwise. I was surprised by the overall length.

Re: Teaser alert.....
I thought you already had a newly built motor for the Sy? If yes, will that engine be going in the TY now?

Re: Teaser alert.....
Yeah, I do. It just needs an intake manifold setup & it would be good.
The Sy motor has Vortec heads, so since I don't want to fight with 2 SMOG hassles, that motor is probably gonna get stored until it's needed.
The Ty is gonna get a mild stock rebuild. I just haven't started on rebuilding it yet, because I've been rebuilding the front suspension.

Re: Teaser alert.....
I got it on the stand this morning. I also measured to see if it would fit in the Sy. If I install the aluminum skeleton core support it should squeeze in. Overall length from the bellhousing to the wastegate is 33". That is right at the stock core support.
Here is some more pic's I took this morning.
These might give you guys some ideas for making some log manifolds.
I found 2 oil pressure units. One for a gauge & one for an idiot light?
Mr. Renz, the intake manifold is 2 pieces, but not 2 pieces that were welded together.
It has a lower half which consists of the runners & the top half which is the plenum & bolts onto the lower half.

Re: Teaser alert.....
I probably won't disassemble it, but I am looking to buy a bore-scope so I can look inside without tearing it apart. I'll let you know what I find.
