Just an off the wall one here... have you considered just finding a LSJ in a junk yard and swapping in the rotating assembly? You'll get the forged parts and the lower compression ratio... then you can up the boost.

GL at the track, cant wait to see your times. Would have been fun to run our cars together and see how they both perform. But im not anywhere close to you lol.

well, i am actually the manager of a junk yard in joliet, il. so finding another motor wouldnt be too hard, but im not really looking for any more power out of this thing because my dad and i have a 1967 chevy II that has a 383ci stroker, with 12.5:1 compression, that we race at route 66. that thing is crazy fast, it makes about 600 horsepower on motor, and is built for a 300hp shot of nitrous.

I don't think anyone's tried it yet... but I don't see why not. The LSJ is simply a de-stroked 2.2 with stronger internals. The cylinder bore is the same... sounds like it would just slide right in.
Now getting the computer to figure out what's going on might be more problematic... but who knows.
Just some food for thought.

well say if you were going to swap the f35 onto the l61... couldn't you just use the f23 flywheel/clutch(or even an upgraded one)? Or does it not line up?
