I am working on a twin non seq. turbo retro fit for my 3.4L powered 1985 camaro.
So far all I have is a brand new 3.4 L from crate-engines.com, a crane cam and buic GN injectors. But all that stuff ( only the engine and cam noth the car) was burned up in a shop fire.
I need a nother engine from crate-engines.com, cam, springs and just about every thing else that goes on the engine to make it work in the car(every thing from intake, wireing harnes to oil pan).

This is the top view of one of the heads you can see the LS1 Ti retainers and the Valve locks. The heads are done.
Here is a luck find that was collecting dust at Twin city speed in brewer Maine. They are Crane Cams gold race roller rockers 6 of 1.5 raito rockers for the exhaust and 6, 1.6 raito rockers that I'm going to use on the intakes. There Crane Cams part #'s are:
25759 for the 1.6 rockres
25750 for the 1.5 rockers
To use them you need the rockers and studs made by crane.
The benifets are about 10 ft.lb (minimum)of torque through out the entire RPM range, cooler oil temps, tigher lash controal and faster acceleration.

Here are some pictures of my new ignition system from sad start to finish.
If your car runs like crap your distributor might look like my $9 total ebay score.

Here it is all cleaned up with some summitracing.com goodies. Some distributor cap (crap), MSD blaster SS coil, and a Holley ICU screwed into the base of the distributor.
