I acctually have the pages marked in classic industries for the washer bottle and overflow tank.
And, IMO, the 350 TBI is worth the effort. I have maybe 500 into the 350, on a vortec shortblock, and maybe $50 into the Pick&pull computer, injectors, and spark control module.
More cubes is really woth it, i think. Besides, my engine had 130,000 on it. At least now, i have the base to to more. but i have to maintain emissions legality.

Here's my most recent pics from this weekend, i was in the process of deleting the a/c and puttin my headers on. I still gotta a lot more work like blocking the air hole in the firewall from the a/c and gettin some cut to length plug wires. Also can someone please give me the part number and brand of their upper radiator hose cause the one they gave me at pep boys doesnt follow the stock routing.

That licence plate is mounted very carefully in front of the red bow tie. I really miss it because it just finished of the front end and screamed "Chevy" . CA state laws suck.

Bigreed- the upper radiator hose I got at autozone doesn't fit like the stock one either, I'm not sure why the are like that and I had to cut mine down a bit, but it's not it the way of anything so I don't really mind

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

probably got the TPI hose, not the TBI hose. they are different. I hate that almost every hose is cut to fit.

Al Hasse

The NAPA store I go to does a real decent job. My new hoses fit good, though I had a bit of a challenge with the lower hose because the shop that built my radiator put the fitting lower than stock - the hose sits against the wonder bar and is very close to the idler arm. In my pics above, you can just make out the Gates part number on the upper hose as 21675.

bigreed91

Thanks mine is brand new but i wana replace it with the right one lol

AZ with no A/C is suicide Rob!

robertfrank

Lol it's really not that bad once you get used to it. No I don't have heat or wipers, which is the dumbest thing I could've done but that's why I bought my 91 L98 car to have those comforts ( minus the A/C lol ) It's keeping it's Heat, wipers, interior and stereo. Really I took out EVERYTHING that pretty much wasn't essential to engine function. I gutted the harness, removed all misc hardware and cleaned it up a bit.

gmstrong

Robert frank i noticed that you dont have a ac delete pulley what size is your belt?

one92rs

iTrader: (5)

that is one nice engine bay. i would put a heck of a lot more effort in mine if i was going to swap in an ls1.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

he does not have the stock brackety either. looks like some march brackets or something on there. so basically whatever he says is useless to you for belt size

robertfrank

iTrader: (27)

Yep it WAS the whole March Mid Mount serpentine set up but I decided to go further and go with an electric water pump and a manual S10 steering box. Hell you can easily make the mid mount set up for less than 50 bucks if your good with metal. the biggest expense is buying the new pullies. I made another alternator bracket out of some cheap walmart 3/8th spacers and a 2 dollar piece of 1/2 aluminum for my 91.

yeah you can clearly see its not stock in the photo but sometimes people just dont have teh eye for it

heres mine. keeping it simple!

not bad. this makes me wonder why more ppl dont throw out the washer bottle. i guess some use theres lol but i dont and havent. just a thought. i plan to strip my engine bay once my ac delete pulley comes in. want to drop it all at once. but once again, not bad.

deffinately gotta delete the washer bottle! thats what i did

robertfrank

iTrader: (27)

Jahblah I would DEFINATELY do away with the washer bottle and clean up the rest of the hoses and wires. Plus get a bigger air cleaner, that thing looks terrible.

iggy1991

Thats all that would fit till I moved the ignition coil. Im gonna build a custom intake that pulls air from the hole where the heater box used to be.

Go to NAPA and get one. I tried pepboys and autozone with no luck. NAPA had the right one

jahblah

My ac delete pulley from summit came in and i finally had a chance to start on my engine bay. i removed the washer bottle and all the AC except the part by the heater box on the firewall. also removed the smog pulley, pump, and the hoses on the manifolds. i left the metal spider things on the maifolds and just plugged up the part where the rubber hose went. im ordering my summit headers friday. already got the exhaust setup. guy off craigslist gave them to me for FREE!!! duals too. came off his iroc he had. he had a bunch of project cars and apparently was overwhelmed with stuff. has each pipe running off a header straight back (following the factory route, not literally straight back) with an H in the middle. no cats. its all welded. im off course..ANYWAYS..from everything ive "deleted" so far, WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO WITH ALL THE WIRES THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND????? i didnt just RIP everything out. i took apart and removed the wire plugs but now everythings just laying around. PLEASE HELP!!! and i get a SES light after a bit of driving so please help with that too if ya can

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

well you need to see why teh check engine light is coming on. disabling the AIR system would not cause that.

bigreed91

i have the same problem, i can drive around the city and the ses light will never come on but once i get on the interstate and get over about 60 it comes on and i have no clue why, it also started doin this before i started deleteing stuff

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

I bet it is an EGR code. That plagued me for years. only real fix i ever got for it was replacing the ECM with a FLASH EBL. I suppose if you had the egr system burned out of your chip that would work also

one92rs

iTrader: (5)

buy a chip with the egr delete in it and never look back. and i am all for getting rid of the washer and overflow bottles for 4th gen bottles.

Napster134

Well, here are mine!
Waiting on a braided radiator hose and braided fuel lines.
Any suggestions? (red only) lol

Al Hasse

I have another stock set of fuel lines that I'm going to take to a local hose shop and have them cut the middle out and fit a set of braided lines. With my Vortec intake, the stock lines I have don't want to fit to the throttle body without interference. With braided lines, I can mount the whole thing as stock and run it behind the alternator and along the valve cover.

tlamm

Here is my Completley stock bay....lol

jahblah

do i buy that from tbichips.com? diff website? tbichips.com is kind of a...weird looking website to me. it looks too plain to function or in other words...idk how to freakin use that website not meaning it is a dis functional site though. but how would i go about getting this chip??? i forgot to mention that MY MPG HAS DROPPED TO LIKE 5MPG!!!!!!!!! i was driving and was like WTF MAN!!! i went down the road and my needle moved like 3 notches gas is lowering in price but NOW WHERE NEAR low enough to deal with such horrid mileage.

Napster134

The website is functional in every way possible, simply send an email to Harris and he'll help ya out.

im so slow...THAAAAANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think i could get another EGR valve, like off another car or something until i can get a chip burnt? i know it wont be in NEW condition but im thinking it would be cheaper. plus i wanted to get a chip burt after i finish modding and drop in my 350 tbi. dont plan on buying 2 chips within the same time frame.

this is my most recent pic after i finished my plug wires, still a work in progress
