This is a warning to all. Here is what happens when you leave your GS at Tri-Shield Performance and Jim decides he needs to take on yet another project:laugh: .
Found the Engine... Here is what came out of the GS. This engine is going to make its way into my 1967 Riviera. You might ask: What is going to end up between the fenderwells of the GS? Jim is going to build me an engine that is approximately equivalent to the Level II iron head engine found on his website. I am glad the weather is bad right now, otherwise I would probably go crazy awaiting the day I will be able to exfoliate a set of rear tires:3gears:.
Ken, Is that engine going into the Riv as is? I've heard that GS run and the 113 cam makes it sound prretty wicked! Mine by comparison sounds like a pooch but, I was having trouble NOT roasting the drag radials off it last week. Can't wait for spring:3gears:
Man, that Yardley gets into everything around here. Just the other day he was as large as Godzilla, now he fits in my engine compartment. Are there some magic mushrooms and white rabbits involved here:grin:? As for the GS: Repro coolant tank is definitely on my "to-do" list. The engine that came out of the GS does have the 113 cam. We are changing it to the The "Yardley" cam (288-94H) for a little bit more manageable idle at the same power level. Should be better for the heavier car with tall gears (3.08 Posi). The new engine that is going into the GS was actually going to be for my Riv. However the cylinder heads I have would not allow for the "mild" engine I was looking for due to excessive milling. So, into the GS it goes. Because Jim is building the motor, he has control over how the thing goes together. This allows him to tweek the combination to make some serious power and make the GS "idle like a sweetheart".
Not to forget about Chef BoYardley and his Rivioli. And his day in the deserted desert. I'm sure the Yardley cam will work well for you in the compination, just I'm pretty sure that he will experience motion sickness at about 5000 RPM.
