i was just reading that...the differences are what you stated above with the addition of stronger rods...i am just wondering about the wiring harness and if i could still use my current pcm and just adding the l32 bin file

correct i forgot to mention about the rods. i dont think the harness is different between the l67 and l32 but im not sure. the pcm should work fine once tuned for your setup.

do this! only negative would be the higher compression pistons in the NA block but its not to big of a deal. just make sure the SC is in good shape (rotor coating, shaft play)

the parts are used, from a salvage yard, but they are making it into a kit...found it on car-parts.com...i think i have another way to go!!!!...with the higher compression, there of course will be a little more power, especially with the mods we have already been talking about...but more of an importance to keep KR down...

with higher compression you will run less boost to make the same power is all.... only thing that sucks though is the l36 pistons skirts are not as thick but there are many guys that use the l36 bottom end on sc and turbo builds so i wouldnt worry to much about that.

one other thing i wanna suggest is when putting the heads on use either arp bolts or studs (i would do studs there the strongest) this is not really needed but a reassurance thing is all and the arp stuff is reusable unlike the factory torque to yield bolts that are not reusable.

yes, i was looking up the arp head studs just as you posted...i have used these on some of my small block builds years ago...damn i'm getting old LOL..and are much better than OE bolts...i think the studs also have a better clamping force to the block with their design and yes, reuseable

Gen 3 m90. One thing to keep in mind is whether you use a gen 3 or gen 5 blower you still need to use a series 2 l67 fuel rail
