Re: Swapping from TBI to Carb and I need some pics of carb'd engines

Thanks Sinisterz and jhainer for these pics!!
when I opened the thread I wanted to see new pics of engine bays and I really need some ideas to make my engine bay shine!! sinister your car is really fantastic and I really love your car especially the hood which I love to buy but due to freight to Malta in europe and duty I am sure will remain with the original one!
about the big block is nice but i prefer the small block but its nice too!!

sinister here is my email mrvox1@gmail.com if you wish to send some more pics so I will ask you some questions about some things if you wanna! for example what type of pullies are those and how much they cost and from who?

thanks guys!

Re: Swapping from TBI to Carb and I need some pics of carb'd engines

I sent you an email to a link on my cardomain page, the pully system and alternator are from March...you are looking about 800-1000 for the complete pully system, about 500 for the alternator and just over 300 for the power streeing pump...pricy stuff my friend!

Here's mine - not as shiny as Sinister Z, but hasn't cost me as much either (yet anyways - someday I'll get there) http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l.../cleanbay1.jpg

Re: Swapping from TBI to Carb and I need some pics of carb'd engines

I have a 1991 RS with a 305 TBI and 700R4 tranny, I would like to upgrade my 305 to a 350. What Mods do I have to make? I have a 350 block already?

Re: Swapping from TBI to Carb and I need some pics of carb'd engines

personally, I think edelbrocks look better than holleys, I havent been around engines long enough to know if there is any real performance difference, but I just like edelbrocks because they are basically facing you when you stand in front of the car, but holleys look more like they are facing the side.
