1st place in best conservative hard top 80 to 89. 2018 Piston power show.

 

Here is my 509 bbc. I made the headers on a frantic rush after a sbc to bbc swap and needing to get the car back out racing asap. Qfp 950 brawler on top

 

Think you'll make the move to a more conventional header arrangement in the future?
While I appreciate all of the aspects of the forward facing header something in my old traditional bones looks for the old school approach.
I didn't much care for the Super Comp version of the big block swap headers (as installed on the 86 TA/502 BBC swap) as they swoop out to the rocker panel area however seeing as that you can build your own....


Hooker Super Comp 2226HKR

 

Well done.

 

 

Heres mine. 377 SBC with 850 Holley Quick Fuel.

 

1985 L69, Factory Non-AC Car.

 

I really like the stock look of this engine bay its very impressive and also it being a Pontiac with the dual snorkels.. Very well done.

 

IMAGE NO LONGER AVALIBLE.

 

 

First time ive seen one them put in a Thirdgen, cool setup. Bet it moves along pretty good in a much lighter thirdgen. Good job.

 

Its fun to tweak and tune.. with good gas I can push 15 lbs.. I've reworked the orig design enough to allow for the extra boost.. Did you also fit a Pontiac block into your 3rd gen?.. I used the RH battery box and stock 1980 wiring harness, all my stock gauges work.

 

 

 

Couldn't resist posting some evolutionary pictures.

What do have for headers on that monster MSgt? The 86 TA with the 502 BBC had (still has actually) Hooker Super Comps. Very difficult to manage on the bottom side.

 

Question Matt: I've "heard" you race. What's your shift RPM (if you don't mind my asking)?

 

the 372 got shifted at 9k. the new engine is 427 inches and it seems to be settling in the 81-8200 range.

 

I'm running a set of Dougs Long Tube headers; they fit like a glove.

Catching up on this oldie...

9K!

Doug's went on the "fleet" 69 C10. Nice headers. And tri-Y too.

Very clean.

 

 

Getting there...

 

MANUAL QUADRAJET !!!

 

Here’s my 305HO I’m swapping to 350 this year I have the engine already

 

327 SBC New Demon 625 cfm. A lot like the old quadrajet, smaller primaries with larger secondaries.

 

Stock air intake. Not planning on changing anything. This has a Rochester carb. I was surprised but this car is about as original as it gets

 

355 work in progress - Edelbrock AVS2 carb. Waiting for silicone elbows to get clearance on drivers side....

 

Export LG4 305. Edelbrock Performer 2101 intake, Accel distributor, M4ME Quadrajet, Lunati 420/443 cam, 1.5” headers. The air cleaner “just” clears the hood liner with the intake and fresh engine mounts.

 

My most recent adventure. i'll see this weekend if this works as cool as it looks.

 

Yabba dabba!
If nothing else Matt, it certainly has curb appeal!
(When did you turn your headers to face the right way?)

 

i built the new headers and full aluminum under-car exhaust in spring of 2020. I also recently built some tailpipes out the back at the end of last year. check out the video on the tailpipes here

 

@mw66nova Beautiful!!!

Which Cylinder-Heads do you have, moving all the Fuel and Air that your Dual Pro-Systems 4150s provide?

Truly Beautiful! ...the Engine is; no arguments will be had here.

I love it!

Quick shot of mine, new to the forum! 84 T/A with a built glide, and a 406 SBC with a Barry Grant 1050cfm 4150 four-barrel.

 

Have a 1984 Trans am with very low miles. 5.7 liter engine, carburetor with air induction. I will post my car shortly, but I am looking for the rubber adapter between the breather and hood. are they available as after market?
