stealth blazer?

NikFu S. · #1 11-21-2003, 03:19 AM

let me say first i really hate trucks. all of them all the time forever because they are big and tall and shine lights in my eyes on purpose and pull out in front of me cuz they are 4x4.

now, does anyone know anything about the chevy blazer? someone seems to think that 4.6 sitting in my stealth is a blazer engine. that would just bust my balls if it were true.
i know that truck engines arent made to rev hi, but this thing revs at 9k. maybe it has really puny cams now?
what do you think about a chevy mounting to a mitsu tranny?
i know almost nothing about his car and acquired it sorta under the table if ya know what i mean.
tryin to figger it out.

edit: on the subject of american engineering, i must say im really amazed by the new gto. go to the site and dl the sound clips. very sweet.

Blazers = GM
Stealth = Dimar/Chrysler

How could they be the same engine? Beside the 6 in the Blazers is a 4.3L (Vortec depending on the year)

Heh.

Anyway, the engine in the stealth is a mitsubishi engine. If Blazers use mitsu engines (they don't) then it might be.

Never heard of a Blazer with a 4.6. Pretty sure they have always used 4.3L six cyls.

Blazer's and Jimmy's always used the 2.8L or 4.3L six. No way would anybody put either of those engines...or any of the engines from any of GM's trucks...or any engine from just about any truck...in a Stealth. 1 - it would be a complete nightmare to fit (the stealth's engine is transverse (lat) mount, and the blazers are all longitude mount, so it would need the tranny and rear end too). 2 - it would, in just about every case, be a step back from stock. I've heard of people putting truck engines in classic muscle cars, and even in that case it's generally a bad idea. So i would have to say NO WAY is that possible...at least not within the realm of reason. Cause ANYTHING can be done, but you'd have to admit that an idea like that is a pretty bad one under anyone's line of thinking.

Almost forgot, on the subject of the GTO...that's one breathtaking car. One of my best friends put his order in about two months ago...the car is scheduled to be delivered dec. 8th. He can't wait. He got Black with the red leather interior, 6spd, and the non-premium stereo (he's got a really nice Infinity system waiting to go in when he gets the car). You should see the color combinations for this car. Purple with purple leather?! not too sure about that one. I was surprised to see the number of changes on this car. Even though they used the LS-1 engine configuration, the Generation III setup uses a completely different block this time, and even a new tranny...the old 6-speed was a ZF unit...the new one is Tremec...they didn't specify the gear separation though. The ZF unit was really a 5-speed with a second overdrive. This new unit may be a true 6-speed. Also, the GTO has a 3.43 rear! That's a tire fryer for sure. Im really happy to see all the changes coming at GM. The new Bonneville has the 4.6L northstar V8 (275hp). They keep promising a Grand Prix with the 4.8L V8...built on a more compact version of the Bonneville platform...but they have yet to specify when we'll see it.

its just too bad that the GTO looks like a Gran Prix with projector headlights. were they trying to put people to sleep with that styling?

i just wanted to know what Gm engine is a 4.6. the original stealth was a pure base model and probably slower than an svx.
it was going through a conversion to make it an R/T stealth, but it was never finished.
supposedly the mechanic ran the numbers and he says its a gm.
whatever is in there is transverse to my recollection.

on the note of cams, it is my understanding they control rev limit.
bigger cams equal a lower rev do they not?

anyways i told someone its a 4.6 v6 and hes all "oh, so it has a blazer engine" so thats why i was thinking maybe cuz he sounded really sure.

Was this the same guy who told you you could bore an EG33 out to 3.9L?

NikFu S. · #11 11-21-2003, 04:16 PM

no.

Subafreak · #12 11-22-2003, 08:11 AM

Why do you think this motor is a 4.6L? Does it say 4.6L on it anywhere? Does the car run right now? Does it look like the motor belongs there? Does the motor have a timming belt? If so it is not any GM motor. Are you sure it's not just the motor that belongs there and who ever is telling you all this 4.6L GM crap is just a moron? I think the 4.6L might have been a Caddy motor as a bored out version of the 4.1L, they were V8s thoe and they were huge pieces of crap so I hope you dont have one of thoe in it. You really need to post some engine bay pictures of this thing before I start thinking you are just full of crap and are screwing with us.

Phast SVX · #13 11-22-2003, 09:02 AM

the mitsu v6 is a 60 degree v6, all 5 runners on intake manfiold is sloping from the middle down the left side of your engine bay can be seen in one solid pieve with 6 bumps, kind of reminds me of a foxbody mustange manifold switched and sloped a bit,( if you are looking at it standing at the front with the hood open.) Converting it to an R/T would include side skirts and some different bumpers, NOT THE ENGINE. The r/t Turbo is the r/t aeropackage with all the goodies that the vr4 came with besides active aero. IT would require 4ws, awd,and would be quite the waste of time to convert., if you ha a stealth ES or even an R/T coupe you have 222hp, 3.oL mitus engine. If you have a basemodel stealth you have a 158 hp 4, but that only came in certain years (over 93 i believe)

If you think you havea GM motor, and its fwd still, then its not a 4.6. You could Theoreticlly put a 3.1 v6 in it, or maybe a 3.4 from a lumina but come on....this is getting rediculous.

NikFu S. · #14 11-22-2003, 12:31 PM

as i posted before its RWD. thats one reason why its confusing. part of the r/t conversion was swapping the tranny, which has been done, and as i said it was not completed.

also the point of this thread is to help me figure out what exactly it is, being that i cant examine it because its sitting 60 miles away with summer tires on it and i cant drive it back home.

im not asking anyone to believe what i say as if it were written in stone just answer my question to the best of your ability if you think you can help.

monday i am going to see if my starter relay is in and if it is, i will trek out to big lake and install it and take pics and see how it runs and what not.
til then, just hold tight.

also, bruce and i came to the conclusion that a 4.6 would be a 'stang, though im not sure if its the gt or the weak one.
from what i remember the engine is sideways and its possible its foreign.

Phast SVX · #15 11-22-2003, 01:59 PM

if its all werid like that i wouldnt call it an r/t converison. doesit look like this.

anywayys get a pic, and if it were a mustang engine it would say ford on it somehwere, just ook around and you shouldnt havea problem. Or find a vin on the block and see what i says
