Tom's 3800SC buildup

06.04.03

Tom had taken his car to a very reputable shop in the Dallas area in April. The shop however specialized in LT1’s and LS1’s. They didn’t respond to Tom’s request very well, so Tom had heard I install 3800SC engines. He decided I should build up the motor and custom install all the toys in the motor. Here are the items I installed.

Heads > 2002 6k heads

Intense Head gaskets > these are ultra nice head gaskets

ZZP VS Cam > Nice mild cam

ZZP intake and InterCooler > Well, I am partial to the ZZP unit since they have helped me so much.

ZZP Stage 4 blower with hard coated rotors > nice, very nice.

RAT throttle body > Not big enough for the Stage 4 blower (75.5mm)

Custom Fuel rails > Low profile and fit is excellent.

SLP headers > I prefer TOG’s, but these were ok.

Transmission cooler > needed for the racing that will be done.

IC heat exchanger > some small radiator ZZP came up with.

ZZP 2.8 DUB style pulley > 8 rib pulley.

ZZP Under drive water pump pulley > wide enough for the 8 rib
