I'm only able to view page #1. Won't show the pages after that.


How about fitting the 3.6+" forged stroker cranks into the 4.1 block?


What length rod is available that won't push the piston pin into the lower ring land?


Is a reduced base circle camshaft required to clear the connecting rods?

Thanks for the info. I've seen the "4.1 For Cheap" write up before. It's a bit dated & I was wondering if there is newer info available.


Knew about the Oil Pan bolt pattern difference. Does the original 4.1 Pan have the same shape as the 3.8?


Is the "291" casting found in any certain year, make & model?

How well does the 4.1 liter Block perform / hold-up as compared to the 3.8L 109 Block?

Is there a date range or model of the 4.1 that is more desirable than others?

Will the 4.1 oil pan fit the Regal?

I understand the 4.1 Block will require machining for a turbo oil return port. What other modifications are needed?

Would someone mind explaining the concept behind the aversion to "Cool Guy" parts?


I've been lurking for a while & have seen the term used repeatedly. I think I know what it means, but I'd like some clarification.

ET/MPH and build are in my sig. Car runs 7 flat all day long at 100 MPH without even trying. I'm a vendors nitemare.

With 110 octane fuel.


How much does it cost to fill your tank & how far can you go before you have to return home to your barrel?


Hardly a street car, daily driver, or a touring car.

That's a great looking blue question mark.

Ppsh, I've been fondlin' CoolGuys parts for many years. I started with his biggie nut, and that's when I met Baldwin Beenine.

  Eh?

I am admittedly a little excited right now.  

Are you the one that wants to fondle my parts? 


My good buddy Cleetus McFarland warned me about guys like you.
