Hello all, I have used this website for lots of useful tips and information, but only recently have I started posting. Here is my deal I purchased a 1986 Camaro with the 305 carb motor. I have put in its place a 355 Holley stealth ram engine. I am using the wiring harness and computer from a 1989 GTA, I have all the equipment to burn and monitor my own chips I have a 2000 stall converter with a transgo shift kit in the tranny and the rear end is yet to have anything done to it. I have not yet had the joy of firing it up, I work weird hours, I am an Operator at an Industrial chemical plant in Texas on the gulf coast. Modifications that I plan on are very simple, 3 toggle switches 1 for fan 1 for the ignition, and 1 for the fuel pump, which is a holley inline fuel pump since the carb'ed motors had a mechanical fuel pump. Another modification is the addition of a B&M shifter. I am sure the mod list will get longer but that is all for now. I am going to post a few pics so you can take a gander or use them for information. Thanks!

 

Damn, dude. You need either a bigger image, or a better resize.

 

sorry new to posting will try to get it right

 

Yeah I'd love to help once its easier to read. Crop that massive white border out of the picture.

I don't think you will need the 3 toggles, the 89 GTA computer will control them for you.

 

I like the fact that I will have switches, don't know why just always wanted a car with toggle switches, some of you out there might understand. And since I can make them useful why not? Plus I made an aluminum panel to go in place of the stock shifter cover (see pic).

 

Very cool. I just converted my 86 over to a 355 HSR and I'm gonna fire it up this week. My main problem was converting the distributor over to a remote mount coil (86 has in cap) so it took a while to get parts, wire, mount the coil, and set timing. If you have any problems check www.stealthram.com as well.

 

Here is a better picture of my HSR project engine, almost there.

 

Here is another pic for those who are interested.

 

Where did you mount the ecm and drill the fire wall when going from carb to hsr?

 

The great thing was I didn't have to modify anything, it all went right where the carb computer and harness went.

Direct bolt in!

 

looks good i'll be doin this too when i do my motor swap

 

i plan on doing an aftemarket efi set up on a project im starting to plan...hows the tunning wiht the holley setup...iv hurd the least bad news about it... i just think in pics it looks too much lik the stock tpi set up what do u think?
