i am doing a dek swap in my 95 max and i just got the dek motor 2 days ago....40k miles on the motor great condish 500 bucks!!! a steal! and the buildup soo far is goin great!!! i will be posting pics up tonight of the progress!

 

What the hell are you going to do to it?

 

well i got the motor and it was all apart bare block and **** soo i had to build the whole thing up...stock pistons stock rods...ima be doin cams and ****.

 

What cams are you going to use?

 

probly 3.5....herd good things about them

 

im thinking of doing the same swap. whats needed for it to hook right in the car. im sure ur doing cluch and flywheel right. rpm switch needed at all?

 

yeah u just have to cut the injector wires on the harness for the dek and splice them into the de harness and other than that its pretty much direct drop in! and u have too re route sum vacumm lines and bs like that....yeah im doing the fidanza flywheel and a competition stage 4 clutch..should be making sum really nice power after i finish

 

nice thanks!

 

If your going to do all of that you should do a similar or better setup then dandymax he is faaast. I know there can be faster n/a. Good luck building it.

 

well for now its ganna have to stay pretty bare my funds are kinda low hahahaha but sumtime soon when i save up that motor is ganna be REALLYYYY NASTYY!!!

 

Jesus, why would you get such an insane clutch...

Are you going to be pushing 400+ftlbs? Then just get a stage 1... you're going to rip your tranny apart.

 

I know it would be difficult to drive but how will it be hard on the tranny?

 

A...the clutvch handles up to 350...b the clutch grabs like stock...and c it was cheaper than stage 1 2 and 3

 

and d....my max WILL have sumwhere around 400 hp one day soo...mine as well buy it once dont have to buy again ya know

 

400hp...... we all have dreams. Maybe one day.

 

From which 3.5L?

 

i wanna runn the same cams that dandymax has in his

 

Dan bought S1 3.5 cams and made them fit in the dek motor.Trust me this is not a direct bolt on. You have to make them work because of the smaller buckets and higher lift of the cams.Plus the power he is making comes from lots and lots of studying,tuning,tweaking ,and some other little go fast goodies he has added.I don't mean to speak for Dan but going with the same set (AS I was doing until I decided to go with 3.5 swap) it takes more than throwing parts together on the 3.0 to make the kind of numbers he is seeing.Plus some VERY good driving just watch his vids.If you already have the motor apart I would just change out the dek intake cams for some regular 3.0 de intake cams since they have a little more duration .This is for the budget minded person because I'm sure you could pick up some used 3.0 cams relatively inexpensive and are a direct swap. Good luck either way you go.

 

I have DE cams i will sell you pretty cheap if you want them...
