Vanguard 18hp Build
I wanted to share my progress on my Vanguard build in hopes it may help others looking to do the same. My goal was to build a reliable more powerful Vanguard that would run on 93 octane. This will be replacing a stock 16hp engine that came in my Terrain 1500. I will be sure to post the pro's and con's of the swap.
Build: 18hp (35CI) Block ARC Billet Longer Connecting Rods Factory 18hp machined .085 from the crown Cheetah Cam w/ new lifters 23hp (38CI) Heads with minor porting and fresh valve job Upgraded Valve Springs and Shims ARC Flywheel 23hp intake manifold with PVT billet Mikuni Adapter Mikuni TS36-68 pumper carb w/ UNI air filter Custom header/exhaust with walker 22229 muffler Allstar catch can Block after soda blasting Pistons with long rods prior to machining After Machining Mild porting. Mainly just cleaning up sharp edges Ball/Brush Honed Cylinders New Carb Side Cover Governor Hole Plugged Ready for Assembly! |
