Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

As I always say..you can do it right, or do it over. If you're doing an all new top end, might as well build up the bottom to match. More $ but you won't have to worry about stuff breaking.

yep, if you read up on fullthrottlev6 a guy over there (grimm) who had a zzp stroker motor just broke his crank. rest of the engine is now useless. build it strong enough so you dont break something that will ruin the rest of the motor.
Guess what...no more stock bottom end for this car. Just bought a race ready built up 3.8l shortblock from Abbott Racing out of TX. Oh boy Should help me safely hit 11s.
Here is the new engine setup I will be running this summer:
Abbott Racing Stage 3 heads
Abbott NA Cam (210/220 @ .050 .512 intake/ .512exhaust 112 lobe separation)
Holden VS intakes (lower ported to match heads) from Australia
MLS cometic head gaskets (.052" 4layer)
align boring the mains with new main studs
turning the crank
torque plate honing the cylinders
L36 rods with beams polished
ARP rod bolts
CompCams OE-R lifters
CP pistons (high compression, around 10:3)
new ring set with steel top rings to handle BIG shots of nitrous
new rod/main/cam bearings

Sounding like a bad @$$ setup.... the bottom end on the 3.8 is stout, but i like the route your going, because it'll be reliable, and you won't have to worry about it. What are you doing as far as rear end, and gearing for it.

I already have a 3.42/LSD rear end that I have been running. I also have a TA performance rear end girdle and stud kit for some added strength
