350
sorry about the dirty airfilter, it has been replaced

 

Modified L6 mated to a 2004R

 

Hey Zepher, whats up with the FE heads? Is that a B-body LT1?

 

Yeah, that is a B-Body LT1 350 from a Caprice.
Only thing I am using from it is the block. If I could go back in time knowing what I was planning on doing, I'd have just got a 4bolt main LT1 block, since almost everything on my LT1 is coming off.
I've got LT4 heads, LT4 Intake, LT4 Hotcam, Forged TRW Pistons, gonna get some Eagle Rods, new pushrods, possibly new lifters, I'd like to get a new crank, electric waterpump, etc....
I bought that complete LT1 for $1000, sold the heads for $125 and the intake for $75.

 

Hmmm

 

that picture wasnt of my engine. it was somebody on the first page of this thread. anyway, he talked about it some i think. i posted it because i doctored it some to make it look like mine as far as the colors of everything. but, if you are curious about what was moved and stuff....i think the owner posted about it on the first page of this thread. good luck searching through all those posts

 

its a little late but......

 

Mines a real sleeper, hehe.. no pics, but the 350 came out of a '79 Z28, but now has the deceased L69's aluminum intake, manifolds, carb, dual snorkel air cleaner/scoops and valve covers. Its not much for motor, prolly around 200hp/275ft-lbs but its a hell of alot more fun than the 305 it often passes for, hehe :lala:

 

... in the summer sometime, the 350 will be rodded-out a little more though. I plan on headers, true duals (sidepipes?) possibly a functional cowl hood (2.5"), new intake and probably a new cam and/or roller rockers.

i'm guessing that would boost it to about 275-315hp, no?

 

just a little 355

 

can someone tell me what exactly an "edelbrock performer rpm" manifold does?? why is it better? i have one on my car and i dont even know why. AND are Carter competition carbs any good? cause i have a 4bbl one and i dont know if i should upgrade.

 

Here is mine

 

what

 

heres my pos

 

here you go.

 

Dang I lost all my pics of my engine... maybe there are 1 or 2 if you do a search on here lol.... I think I have to talk my friend into taking some pictures.
I have no dyno figures on my motor but I have been told anything from around 275-320 horse.
I believe the former because I need to get the $#%#@% engine tuned to to the computer.

 

Mine

 

Dang those lt1/lt4s sit low down in there dont they. Least you know you will never have clearance problems with the stock hood like I do. How hard was it to hook up all the wiring and stuff on the lt4?

 

Hehe Yeah Hood Clearence will never be a problem.

The wiring is not to bad, Things go along better if you use a current FI car to do the swap on.

 

ahem... cough

 

heres the ol' daily beater... See sig for engine combo.

 

haven't done anything to the beast....yet

 

Ok, I'll bite. Just promise you won't laugh at my empty wallet.

used circa 1980 crate 350 with 426 heads, Hedman shorties, Performer intake, and a Holley carb.......not worthy of pics, obviously

Here's mine -

 

wow, the thread is ALIVE AGAIN!!!

 

Cool, a chance to update mine Taken last night when I put the new Demon 750 on for chits and giggles.

 

beadblasting is like sandblasting if you've ever heard of it, instead of using sand they use small glass beads that are blasted through a gun run off an air compressor to remove the old paint or clean the metal, etc.

 

what the hell is the difference? its used for the same purpose as sand isnt it?

ps. its been really nice out here and i finally got to license the camaro. YEE HAW! had it out tuesday, got a ticket wednesday

 

yes it's used as the same purpose as sand. But there are many types of blasting abrasives from glass, sand, plastic, to walnut shells. They are all used for different types of metal. Some would do damage to one kind of metal while the other type of blasting media would be fine. They all have their purpose.

 

here`s mine

 

ok how do you post pictures?? damn rookies...........

 

you have to get the picture on the internet. easiest way is to put it on your readers ride page, and then use its address when youre posting it.

 

Here's mine! I love opportunities to post pics of my engine



and



Holley says 425 HP at 6125 rpm and 425 ft lbs of torque at 4250 rpm or so....someday I'll get it on a chassis dyno and see what she's got at the rear wheels

Last summer's project

 

Not quite finished yet...

 

Here's mine. Yeah, it's dirty. Been sitting at the exhaust shop waiting for me to bring new springs for header to ground clearance. Still a work in progress.

 

Here is my old engine when I pulled it out:

 

Heres mine. Just got er in there a few weeks ago. Runnin around 375HP.

I have to add mine for posterity. I think I'm lucky if I'm pulling 180 HP:

 

A SBC out of a Mustang?!?

Man, I have a completely stock '89 LO3 I have never cleaned it (84k miles) and I white glove that block and return with some dust on it maybe.
