I have a complete change over for the '95 and up vented opti. It includes the vacuum harness, electrical harness, front timing cover w/ new gaskets and seals, MSD coil and a like new GM vented opti (less than 3k miles and ran perfect). I removed the cap to inspect it and it looks like new inside.

If anybody is doing a doing a cam swap now would be a good time to upgrade to a vented opti. You will also need a later model cam and timing chain set. Looking for $350 for the whole thing shipped within the continental US. Will not separate at this time. PayPal ok. Here are some pics:

I'm doing a stroker and i have a 94 Z28, i was wondering what is there difference in opti's from 94 to 95?

 

The 95-97 use the vented version of the opti, which was more durable. Also a water pump failure wouldn't normally kill it unlike the non vented ones. You can get more details here:

By the way if you decide to upgrade to the vented opti you will need a 95-up style cam and timing set. I have a new GM "Extreme Duty" timing set available also.

 

I'm using a Custom Cam by Loyd Elliott/Bret Bauer, and using a 96 Corvette block for my stroker. Not using the block thats in my 94.

 

I"m pretty sure that their cam can be used with either opti. You would just need to set the dowel pin to the correct length. Check with Lloyd as he can confirm this one way or another.

It really has nothing to do with the block that you're using. The difference lies in the way the opti itself is driven. If you follow that link I posted above you'll see what I mean.

 

Yea i understand what your saying, i'll keep in touch i would like to have that setup cause i've heard alot of good things about the 95 and up opti's and alot of bad things about the 94's. Only problem thats holdin me back is the money right now gotta few bills to pay.

I'll offer 300 shipped. Whats the price on the HD Timing Set?

Sorry can't do $300. This is already a great deal! Just price all these parts and you'll see what I mean. New "HD Timing Set" is $200. I'm also including the roller bearing for the water pump drive because you will not be able to remove the stock one w/o damaging it.

 

Alright no problem.

How much do you want for everything shipped with the timing set to 85206? thanks.

Would you sell everything except the opti? If yes, how much? Thanks

 

Right now I'm waiting to hear back from 96azhawk, but I'm looking to sell everything together. Might consider parting out if it hasn't sold in a few weeks.
