Great video I’m putting a 215 into a 60 rambler wagon. I have lots of questions. My 215 has the angled oil filter that’s in the way of my heater hose. What’s the best way to relocate a 90° filter adapter? Or should I do a remote filter with an oil cooler? Keep in mind I’m not racing with this motor however this little wagon is going to be pulling a small 1200 pound camper
@t-bodyperformance770 3 ай бұрын
There are a number of other Buick oil filter adapters between the V6s and all the 63+ v8s have a few options, you just have to run a later metric oil filter as well. I actually needed not only the metric 90° V6 filter housing but I had to also add a 90° adapter from a 2.8 V6 to clear the core support on this particular car. It worked out rather well plus gave me an extra oil pressure port that was not available previous

Cooler oil is always welcome when your Towing things, an oil cooler may not be a bad idea add mounting a large oil filter adapter would be very easy at that point and add additional oil capacity

Yes because the spindles are same you just need the proper bracket for the caliper just know Fiero brakes are not an upgrade in anyway and the 5 lug pattern is odd small 5x100mm pattern.

Do you want to know who designed it or who casted it? It was most likely cast in at least 3 different foundry's. Different company's used different combinations of internals to meet their needs. This engine probably has some old origins and got pushed all around the corporation. Personally, I would prefer if it where Japanese over German.
@t-bodyperformance770 6 ай бұрын
Once Opel left it to the Brazilians they cast their engine there in Brazil. The North American versions were cast here stateside after they figured out what needed modified for the US market. The US 1.6s were sent to Venezuela and marketed as 1.8s as an addition note.

@t-bodyperformance770 6 ай бұрын
It's the cone and cup as a set which is how the proper bearing is sold as the cone typically isn't available separately even though your using the rotors cup (race) it's common application is Ford transmission output shafts and couple machine applications. It's not the easiest to get from parts stores, it's best ordered from a bearing supply to get the correct ones
@t-bodyperformance770 6 ай бұрын
Oem interchange number looks to be E1FZ7025A (likely the oe Ford number) and the Timkin lists the cone as JLM67042 and cup LM67010. You also need seal number 152563SB-H sometimes the seal number carries TCM in front of that number.

I don't, but for offroad purposes, the distributor gets full vac signal, and the egr gets a timed port if your keeping it. If equipped with an auto, the transmission has its own vac port near the rear heater hose on the intake, and 82+ also have a lockup vac switch on the drivers inner fender that gets full vac. If the car was an AC car there will be a black vac reserve ball also over on the driver inner fender that gets full vac. The rest can go away

The way it sits in the car these will be custom for this application, I've ran through most of the shorty and tight tuck headers and there is something that will interfere somewhere with them. All the Rover stuff does fit these however. I have a set of flanges ready to build them. Been waiting on the starter to get figured out to see what room was left. You should see the crazy headers the old Hooker Headers 3.8 Buick swap kit had. One of the tubes on each side went around the front. Trying to avoid that. The exhaust is the tightest part of every swap in these cars for some reason.

In theory, as long as you're not to over torque the fasteners and cause damage, and nothing mechanical was to happen to stress them outside normal operation infinitely. If one was to ever be damaged, you can even repair it easily with the proper tools, so even if one was to pull or wear out and not be trustable, it can be restored.

@t-bodyperformance770 9 ай бұрын
Be aware with the S10 axles you may also need to turn the hub down in the center to fit the stock wheels. Some aftermarket wheels for 4x4 pattern fit without this because the hub hole is larger, this is how we lucked out with the race car. The chevette wheels will need the hub turned down or removed to fit. As far as the pattern it's just a matter of getting it centered and drilling the holes straight. A jig to hold the axle in a drill press is how I normally do them. Most machine shops setup a drill guide but if your measurements are good you will be fine.

@peterfaggella3120 ya now keep in mind many S10 axles are not cast centered perfectly and the centers are not all as thick so some will inevitably be off-center when you start and might also be thin when done. I have gone as far as making a 57.1mm hub on the lathe, turning the s10 hub flat, then making the new hub bolt on through the center as well when they are really off or just ordering replacement axles with the hub size and bolt pattern on them. Being as this is in class, there's an opportunity to show some lathe stuff anyway!

Another option is the front mounted oil pump in the timing cover. That came with distributorless ingnition in 1986. The cover and pump to source is a Rover part they used for a few years. Bolts right on and takes a bunch of the turns out. Another point to watch for is the cam bearing oil supply point. The oil comes in at 12 oclock. The lifters push the camshaft down, allowing oil to spill out at the top. What you want to do is grind a groove from the oil eed hole to about 0230 to 0300, as viewed from the front, in the cam bores. This will supply cam oil in a tighter clearance location reducing leakage and providing a better oil film on the cam bearings. The cam bearings are installed rotated 80° to 90° clockwise to line up with the end of the groove.
