Re: Short Rough Idle After Start Up

Sounds like lack of fuel or a large vacuum leak.
Check your TBI base gasket.
Also manually work the EGR valve. It could be stuck open.

Re: SBC L31 to 700R4

The converter is not supposed to be bottomed out in the pump.
1/8" clearance is ideal. Use flat washers between to achieve that clearance.
Your flexplate IS installed correctly.

Re: PCV Routing Question (305 SBC)

Did you also swap to a vacuum advance distributor?

And if that intake manifold is an Edelbrock Torker II single plane, then this is completely wrong if your engine is stock or nearly so.

Re: Some questions during install of my new 406 SBC - street/strip/show/autoX

I am no expert on this, but I would think that you need a breather somewhere to let "filtered" air in.
Otherwise the vacuum pump could create enough negative pressure to suck in some of the gaskets.

Re: 400 SBC options

They were using spark plugs that were TOO SHORT.

And the 2 center exhaust valves are severely sunk.
