need help tryed every thing still stalling

106k is not high mileage really as long as the car has been taken care of. Mine has just shy of 98k and runs like a champ but yes I have plenty of repairs over the years I've owned it. The most 2 serious repairs were head gaskets and timing chain.

Yeah mine happened to be the back head gasket too. Number 1 cylinder specifically.

yep its weird that its been the same on the ones ive done
and ive gottin good at taking the motors apart quicker the the labor book times so my boss gives me the motor jobs
plus hes seen me tear mine down at the shop during lunch wich is only a 30 min lunch and have it back to gether and runing

With all the issues, even at that mileage, do not boost it.

Get another LA1, tear it down and rebuild it. You'll thank yourself later on.

i know ive been looking at all the strokers kits on line a friend of mine just did a 383 strocker at a speed shop in my town and they guy charged hime right around 2500 to bore the blcok and all the goodies my friend just has to reclean the block and put it to gether witch i think is a good price for the block work

Don't bother with an LA1 block, no sense to.

If you want a better engine, find an LX9 (3.5L OHV V6) from a G6 (05-07 models)

welp put the new fuel press on yesterday and it ran fine till to day and then it started to act up again but now i can hear the fuel pum have a high pitch wine noise and then it starts to paulseat and the car shut off so im gunna lean toward the fuel pump now

If you had a problem with one fuel injector where it was so dirty or clogged that you had to replace it, I'd start there first. It's possible the rest of your injectors are dirty as well. I would try take the injectors out and having them cleaned in a sonic bath, or replace them all. At the least you should try running some fuel system cleaner through them. Then maybe look at the fuel pump.


As for supercharging, if you found a M62 blower somewhere for 475... well that is just the blower. And probably needs rebuilding at that price. It's definitely not a kit that you can actually bolt up to your engine and expect to run. Those go for about $3,000. And yeah, I wouldn't really put the money into it unless you already know you have a healthy engine, and know everything about these engines and know how to tune them yourself. There is almost no aftermarket support for these, so you pretty much have to modify everything yourself.
