Here are some specs: Swapped motor at 130k (Still Stock) New: Clutch,Brakes,Axels, CV joints, Struts, Shocks,Tires, and Stereo Im looking up to the members of this forum to give me some really good feed back on some things I should do, Maybe Some oppinions on it. Go ahead and shoot all opinions accepted.   I now have the GT Tower Bar  I have Replaced the corner light  I put a new grill on, And I have a fog/driving light on each side of the license plate  She left the Stereo for me  Here us the Cluster for all who are curious  Well there She is.....

:-*another coupe. ;D
Glad ya found us man, it's great to have new members.
Anyways, as to suggestions? Get a GTS coupe wing, tint it, and paint it. Then new rims on it, anything other than the stock steelies. It will look 100x better. Not to mention, the sexiest 4th gen was the GTS coupe, IMO.
What kind of plans do you have for it in the future?

Just FYI, you don't need to do a DOHC head swap when you have DOHC already. Pop off the valve cover to see what I mean.

I really have a DOHC? Weird i was told it was only a single. Im not sure what my engine code is either. The reason why I thought why I had single because the GT's have a diff head. Looks More DOHC. And the GT have a 150 mph TS and a 7.5 REDLINE. Some Explaining and some tips would be cool about getting more HP out of my motor. Thanks for the Info tho nice to know. Totaly blew my mind.

The 150mph speedo and 7.5K redline is the GT-S.. not the GT. You share the same engine as the GT. Your engine code is 3sfe. there is only one belt-driven cam gear. The exhaust cam is driven by a gear on the intake cam inside the valve cover. You have 115hp and 125ft. lbs. stock. The ST/GT has the FE head, the GT-S has the GE head. The '86 GT/ST has a 2se, which IS SOHC. You have an 87. |

Well thats some good info to know. Thanks for the info. Know another question. Would it be worth it and would it give me any performance if I put the GE head on there. I figured it would be a nice mod if it was a good Idea.

I figured it would be a nice mod if it was a good Idea. It's would be a great mod, but with the level of work involved, you might as well just swap the engine. The FE block is weaker than the GE block anyways. |
