glad to see you found the site. i'll swing the car by tomorrow afternoon maybe so you can check it out.

 

After a few years of screwing with fuel injection, I came across a killer deal on an awesome carb. Hopefully I'll see single digits at the track this fall n/a.

 

Heres my 1985 IROC with a 355. Edelbrock Cam/Lifters/750 Carb/valve covers/ and air cleaner. I've also got completely stock "416" heads on her. She's pretty mean. Please check it out. Sorry it aint as pretty as all the other cars on here, but she is mine. http://s789.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=100_2928.mp4

 

here's mine

 

^^^Spray can black that's exactly what i did^^ but no powersteering??? ive noticed alot of ppl on here do not have it, what is up with that?

 

frees up 10 or so hp, and knocks down nearly 30lbs of weight off the very front of the car...but it makes it a severe pain to drive, especially with a spool.

 

I need help I just swapped from tbi to carb in an 89 rs. I need to know what I need to plumb in my fuel line to a Carter carb I have an in line regulator that is 3/8 npt I'm having problems with it leaking with a hose clamped on it so I want to do it all in steel line. What kind of threads is on the frame from the stock steel line? I need to get a female connection from that. Plus ???????

 

I've been doing some work on the GTA lately.

Before/As received:



After(still need to clean up some wiring):

 

Here is my 388 sbc.

 

these are from a place called black mountain precision. he makes a kit with power steering also.

 

Race Engine

 

My 355 swap

 

Why are you still running the a/c compressor? Pick up a a/c delete pulley and shed that extra weight.

 

Glad I looked at this thread... Now I know what power steering bracket i am missing. Here's mine, 305cid with an LT1 camshaft (true double roller timing chain too!), Edelbrock 600cfm 4bbl, stock HEI (stock for 1975 anyhow) and blackjack longtube headers mated to glasspacks. I got plans for a moderately built 350 eventually. Gotta convince the wife to build a big block for her '70 Camaro first.

 

What is that you are doing for a heater? Am I seeing that right?

 

I have none and also no controls. I am looking to get some just not being very proactive about it.

 

yeah I need to do that. truth is im going to try and get pullies and pumps from RCR. and have a underdrive race setup. I dont like the serpentine design so i havent put any money in it.

 

just an update with a crappy cell phone

 

That's one funky intake lowridetractor, I have never seen anything like it before. Looks good, the pics didn't turn out all that bad for being cell phone pics.

 

thanks i dont think im gonna run that intake for much longer. i dont think its sealing right. i had to use 1/8 inch gaskets and its still not right. probably put my performer eps back on.

 

Can't go wrong with Edelbrock, they make a pretty decent product. Be sure to post the new updated pics!

 

Here's a few before/after shots...I still wanna clean up the wires and all and scrub the firewall and wheel well humps.

Before:


After:

 

 

92 BBC z - where did you get that air cleaner? i want it and i want it now!!! lol that is awsome!

 

 

What this ole thing? J.C. Chamber's outta N. Carolina (they do alotta NASCAR around them parts) he has a Ebay store.

 

Daytona_83, you had better keep an eye on that upper rad. hose because the belt for the A/C can come in contact with the bottom of that hose. You may have the updated bracket that holds that hose up but I can't see it in the pic. Just run your fingers over the bottom of that hose and feel for groves. You can see the bracket in this pic.

Auggie

 

Here is the one my wife and I are working on. It's an 85 camaro base model that had a spun bearing in the original 305.It now has a 350 with a edlebrock performer rpm intake and a 600cfm edlebrock carb. And it's all under the hood. Now I just need to get a piece of the y-pipe remade and it's ready to roll.

 

Had to trim some of the hood to get the air cleaner in there. Still seems sturdy so far.

 

a drop base air cleaner will be your friend. it'll allow you to run a taller element without increasing the over all height of the air cleaner.

 

Can't run one of those w/an edelbrock electric choke carb....sucks

 

very true. thats why i had to cut the hood. plan on a scoop later but for now it fit with about half inch of space

 

It is possible. You just have to spring for the slightly pricey fuel line kit. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8131/

I believe that other companies makes this same kit for half the price. Works good.


EDIT: I just realized that you might have been talking about the air cleaner. I used http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOR-65905/. I did have to use a small spacer adapter for it, but would fit under my stock hood (that is before I added a carb spacer to it)

 

Just got this in a week and a half ago. 350 with vortec heads. Need some cable management, but as long as nothing touches the headers or gets caught in the belts, I can live with it.

 

383 stroker with 750 DP HP series.

 

My newest set of problems... right after the first time it started, hasn'n been cleaned yet. Very nice driver... torquey as hell, makes as much HP as my 350 did, and is much less of a headache to drive on the street.

 

355, Rpm heads, DartII intake, big roller cam, Hooker comp headers, 750 holley VS with proform main body and billet baseplate

 

Crazy-Sick-Nasty!!!!! Great Job dude! for real!!! Super clean. No PVC for the valve covers? does that work well? bc that's what i wanted to do!

 

Hey thanks for the good coments. As long as the breather's have good gromets, they serve well as positive crankcase vents.

 

Theres mah baby.

 

now that is exactlyyyy what i wanna do to mine, mind if i ask if u changed out the intake? itd help to delete a lot of the emissions crap on mine..

 

 

To the guys that took out AC. What is the plastic housing on the passengerside firewall. Half of it has the AC that I can see on my car was cut out. But what is the rest of that housing closer to the fire wall. Also all the wires that are connected to the AC. Can they all come out without a bunch of rewiring , or is there other stuff mixed in with the AC wire harness

 

It's a AC delete box, you can get them at hawks for about 150 or so. And you get to keep the heater for winter. And yes it can come out without a bunch of rewireing.

 

Here is mine

 

heres an update on mine. i swapped the stock 305 heads for 041 fully ported and built heads (all crane cam components)

 

Here is mine!!

 

Still not everything ready because not finished yet frome tbi to carb!

 

Your looking good, did mine a couple of years ago, runs good and strong. Best thing I ever did. Good Luck with your ride.

 

Your car looks great! Not to mention your engine bay looks mint. I have been very happy with my 350 ho. It pulls really good all around. It beat a local lt1 with some mods too...
