i need to clean it up. then engine itself is painted gloss black. the front accessory brackets were bead blasted so they are clean and the intake was just bead blasted so its clean also

I'm glad you like it. I wanted to keep things simple. A/C, and heat, I could live without. I don't drive the car when its cold, and if its hot enough to require A/C, then I will stay at home! I cut all the wires, vacuum tubes going to the heater plenum, just past the firewall, in the engine bay. I then took all of the plenum out, made plates to cover the holes, and presto, all done. I want to get the drivers side better also. It still looks to cluttered. It was pretty easy, but if you ever plan on using your defrost, heat, or any air movement at all, don't take it out.

82z28 if you are refering to my engine. those are breathers, i have 2 because my pcv valve it right in my intake manifold. usually on tpi cars and what not u have a pcv valve on one valve cover and an air tube goin to the airbox allowing air to follow in the valve cover. thats the best i can explain that

<b> with stock exhaust manifolds im sure your not over 300 RWHP</b>
You can make over 400 N/A horsepower with the stock manifolds on a small block 355.

about the breathers,
i have a pcv valve (a little hose going into the valve cover?) on the one valve cover and the oil cap on the other.. did u just replace those with breathers? how does this help the engine?

i didnt replace them my pcv valve is in my manifold. i have the ramjet 350 so i didnt need to put a pcv in the valve cover because it came with one. and i still have an oil cap. i just needed to put somethin in the holes that were there. so i put breathers. and it does what it says it lets the motor breath. i didnt notice any performance because i went from a v6 to a crate motor

<b>And I'll bet the exact same combo could make well over 450hp with headers.</b>
of course it would. I never said Stock manifolds should be used, Ever, in any application, even stock. heh.
I just mentioned its possible for somone to make over 400 horsepower with the stock manifolds.

This is the motor thats going into my '85.
377 (new block w/383 crank)
10.6:1 compression
AFR 195 heads
LPE 219 cam (originally bought an LT4 hot cam but decided against it)
LT4 roller rockers
Eagle rods and crank
Superram (just the plenum and runners...have quite a bit of porting to do on the base)
No way thing will breath through the stock exhaust so i still need a good set of headers and a cat back.
Right now this 5000 dollar piece of metal is still sitting on a stand, taking up space in my garage as i haven't had time to drop it in, not to mention i have a few other odds and ends that i need to take care of (new fuel pump, ecm, etc etc)

Yes, that is the same car. Been through a lot of changes these past 3 years that I've owned it.
And yes, that is teflon tape, which I didn't put on.
My friend was putting part of this setup on his Honda before I got it and he was using tape. I'll be using paste.
Here are a couple of vids of my car,
This one is with the carb on it,
15.04 1/4 mile run
Video with the new TPI setup
