High mileage and with a turbo
#5
I work for Borg Warner Turbo so I'll probably source one from there.
I will need to first run the numbers on the engine such as displacement, anticipated HP, airflow etc and see what I come up with. Do you have any recommendations?

The engine mount to the tranny is the same as the 3VZE. I should be able to swap oil pans from the 3VZE to the 3VZFE. I will use the rubber motor mounts from the 3.0 and build some plate steel blocks to mount on the 3VZFE and then fab these to the rubber mounts which will bolt to the original truck frame mounts. This will be the easy part.

Its like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Start with the easy stuff and continue till the puzzles all filled in......Ha we'll see.
Old 3VZE block is being steam cleaned and mag checked at the machine shop along with the oil pan, windage tray and oil pick up. When I get these I'll bolt up oil pan get engine in truck and work on the mounts. 3VZE will get rebuilt for my other truck.

10 psi would be nice. I might even go so far as build the engine to be turbo specific. Lower the compression and at least clean up the heads bit. This way I wont have to worry about controlling huge timing issues with a higher compression engine. I still want to run cheap gas. A friend of mine who is a Mega Squirt nut suggested we do two timing maps, one for go and one for mileage. My truck has two fuel tanks in it so I could even use different fuels......but that's for another day, after its all working.
