Well heres my hard work,,,have cranked it up yet...whatcha think?


https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=223218

 

looks good man!
id crank it . just to hear it rumble without anything on there. (ive never heard a car with only the headers or manifolds)

 

I really like your combonation of red/black/chrome

Now onto hiding all those hoses and wires.....

Starting a new engine has to be the greatest feeling.....I can't wait till i can do it in a few weeks......good luck with it man

 

its not new...its still my crappy ol 305........

added:

LT1 cam
1.6 rollers
double roller timing chain
new springs
under drive pullies
160 stat
160 fan switch
SLP Tri-Y 1.58 headers...ACS coated
MSD wires, coil and cap
removed all my air crap and EGR

along with the mods in my sig...so Im sure it will run pretty good...yeah I hope!!


I think thats it ....cant remember.......


OH ! it cranks right up, I cranked it and ran for about 1 sec and I shut it off...just that little bit was loud!!!!!! wife heard it inside the house...LOL...


hey FLYNLOW...Im going to head to Charlotte in the next week or so and I'll check out your ride.....Roy and Stacey are good people, I go down there every now and then just to hang out in the shop and talk BS with em....sometimes go out to eat and stuff...they are very cool poeple and run a good business...no matter what some people say on the board about em...

 

Well hopefully either next weekend or the weekend of the 28th, I will be there to pick up the car, so possibly we may meet each other.....I only have met Roy because he met me at his shop on a sunday, and he seemed to know a lot about cars and seemed like a good guy.....

I can sympetize with your hesitance over starting the engine, I will be in the same boat here in a matter of weeks......

 

i dont wanna be a bunghole but why did you spend all this money on a 305, i mean it should run pretty good now but why?

 

I really dont know,,,I just got caught up in the modding thing and well I already had the engine........so why not? it ran 15.4 when I first ever ran a car in my life and that was with a crappy R/T so it should get me in the low 14's? thats good enough for me...yeah right?!........plus everything I got can be moved over to a 350 with no problem.

 

There are some fast 305s on this board, maybe he is about to join the madness.

Looks great, crank her up!

 

I hope so...atleast faster than what it was...

 

DAmmit im excited for both of you, now stqart it and keep it ruinning, and let me know EVERY detail.


I am putting sidepipes on my econo, as well as headers so let me know how it sounds with no exhaust!

 

Why did you yank the EGR?

all smog concerns aside, and computer codes / having to remove it from the prom etc, it does nothing to hurt the engine's PERFORMANCE....

it works to help "false fill" the cylinder w/ exhaust gas on certain throttle conditions ( not heavy or WOT if it's working right and not clogged w/ carbon at the intake ( the cause of most "bad" EGR valves )

Helps even the mixture out, helps gas mileage as well...

Just curious...it's your car....



Looks VERY nice BTW...



sound like you caught the "Mine as well Syndrome"..


Well I'm replacing the valve cover, so I mine as well put new rockers on...and I mine as well put a better cam in while I"m at it ...etc etc etc...



AND BTW..


LOL at u saying "That will be fast enough for me.."


YEAH RIGHT...better hide your credit cards now..there is NO such thing as fast enough.



LOL

 

actually yeah it did start out with just a LT1 cam change and then it went on and on and on...............I removed the EGR to clean thing up under the plenum and I didnt like and tubes that cam off of it. I'm just going to have it removed from the prom and be done with it. Theres plenty of people that run with out it and removing it from the prom should eliminate any evidence of it being there so not cause any sort or problem.

 

bah if i could id remove every emissions device from my car. Lucky you you obviously live in a place with no emissions stuff

 

yeah I do but only for one more year...next year we go to testing.....I'll deal with that when the time comes but for now....Im not going to run none of that crap!

 

Congrats on getting her back up and running again. the engine looks great

 

looks great man, although i say bite the bullet and fire her up
