dropped her in this last sunday.... you can see its the 350HO, vortec RPM intake, Holley 4160, Hedman Hedders, and MSD SC wires.... still a little work to do before shes outta the garage, but its coming along!

 

looking good. what's up with that fuel line? not connected just yet?

 

no its on there... we just attached it to the old hard line...kinda hard to tell in fuzzy cheap camera pics

look beside the alternator

 

looks like a LOT of extra braided line on there then.

 

ya... i wasn't gonna cut it yet, in case i came upon something cheaper, i could package it back up and get my 20 bucks back

 

all i have to say is TOTAL SWEETNESS!!:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

haha, thanks... we've put a lot of hard work into her so far...

we're so close, If I can't get it running by monday, I'm selling it...










HAHA.... just messing
'Brandon

 

ok... maybe this coming weekend....

 

Don't rush it. Get it done right and you'll be happier in the end when nothing breaks.

I've been seriously considering this engine for my RS. What did it run you?

 

Looks good man, keep up the great stuff!

 

The engine alone ran me around 2700$, i bought it from summit and since i live in ohio i had to pay tax.
(A lot of money for me being 18)

that doesn't include every other nit picking detail i had to buy either, but i got a steal off my neighbor: 50 bucks for the 4160 and dizzy... we've spent at the most 100 bucks to rebuild them, so i saved some money there.

I've just got to get the wiring straightened out, and the shift kit in the tranny... then, then, it should be out of the garage....

But, the way i look at things. I spend 1300$ for the car, me and my grandpa painted it for free, and now i have a 3500$ engine in it.

....A brand new car, almost, for under 5k... how many ppl can say that?

thanks guys,
brandon

 

Looks like its ready for buisness.

 

Looking good so far.


Reading your sig. we definatly need to race . Too bad it'll never happen.

 

hell I'll post a pic of my motor since our shizzle is similar.

I really need to replace the thermostat housing.

 

haha... it'll have to be from like an 80 MPH roll on the highway.

I doubt I'll have traction otherwise

where u from?

 

can you take a closer pic for me of your power steering pump?

I can't seem to get mine lined up...

 

AZ

How much HP do you estamate to be making with this setup? As for traction a roll would be a good idea seeing as how 2 gear burn outs just flooring it ins't a good thing in a race .

 

Hell i wish mine would line up. Thing squeaks sometimes.

 

Well the book says 330, but i'll be happy w/ anything over 275 at the rear wheels...

... should be plenty of power to get some kills on the street around here... assuming i can get traction.

Vortec,
...I see we're on different coasts then huh?

 

haha... those chrome flashy ones are only like 7 bucks ya know?

 

9.99 here LOL. OEM replacement w/o the sensore is like 15.00.

 

hahaha, no wonder then...

 

Beware! I got a 'chrome flashy' one from Schucks a year or so ago and developed a leak at the housing. I thought that the o-ring wasn't sealing so I put a gasket on it but it still leaked. After pulling it, I found that the housing base was warped about 2mm! Cheap *** made in Taiwan crap!

 

lol...shoulda gone mr gasket

 

BTW.... ITS UP AND RUNNING!!!!

haha

...turned right over, set the timing at just under 8 degrees running 93 through it.

holley i got off my buddy after a quick rebuild is almost perfect tune, runs real strong.

open hedders sound awesome...:hail:

highly recommend this engine

once i get the shift cables and tv cable sorted out I'll be on the road... to bad i realized today i need a new radiator, likes to leak on me.
