thanks go with ls their ausome motor to start withlike abig block sky is the limit terry

 

where did you get that strut tower brace that looks sick?

 

Any of you guys fitting these carbed motors under a flat hood? Mine looks like it ain't gunna fit once I get an air cleaner.

Anyways, here's my almost done 355

 

The good old LG4 on its way out:



The 355 waiting to replace it... hoping to have it in this weekend!

 

where did you get that dual air cleaner? and how much did it set you back?

 

looks like a ramairbox box

http://www.ramairbox.com/

 

Yep, it's from ramairbox. I bought it used with the hoses and snorkel.

 

I actually have the same question. Mine looks like a tight squeeze as well.

 

new toy, 850 ultra HP

 

Looks nice Matt, I have the 750 Street HP version and im very happy with it.

 

Would you happen to know part#? I would love to get one my self.

 

 

I found this at the ramairbox website:

82-87 GM F-Bodies ( Camaro, Firebird )
14x3@110 air box, AF3 air filter, 14AL/Fbase,
14AL/CCover, 2x G28108 Tubes, 917 Intake, 918 Intake, Stud & Nut
Sold as Kit part # F14x3@110 stg II H.O.

 

Just got this for 1500 bucks on a lean sale. lucked out and met the guy who built the motor so I got the whole story, anyways lots of work ahead for me.

 

You mean a "lien" sale?

 

installed:

 

yep i ran a holley with a 1.5" drop airbase cleaner with a 3" filter and it JUST fit under the stock flat hood.

 

lol, my carb mounting flange is above the hoodline...

 

yes I knew I spelled it wrong but I didnt care,

 

it looks like you run a really tall intake. if you stick with a normal height intake you can squeeze a 3" filter under the stock hood. my pic is an rpm airgap with a holley street avenger carb on top

 

he also he a ls engine swapped to a carb setup, not a small block.

 

well the LS is still a small block, just a gen IV small block. but yea, its a whole diff story with an carbed LS swap.

 

This is what my 1984 Firebird engine looks like. Its a 355 with 9.0 to 1 compression. Callies lightweight crank, crower rods, je short skirt pistons, dart 200 heads, .520 solid lifter cam, edelbrock victor jr. intake, QFT 750 carb with E85 conversion kit, msd distributor, edelbrock nitrous with 100hp shot. This engine goes 11.32 @ 121 mph on E85 and 11.61 @ 117mph on 93 octane, The car went 10.70 @ 125 Mph with 100hp nitrous. I didnt have time to shoot the nitrous with the E85 setup. Heres my 10.70 nitrous pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O70ewShLG2A

 

97 vortec 5.7 edelbrock highrise and 750 carb

 

Vortec 5.7, Edelbrock highrise and QFT/Holley Hybrid 750 carb

 

you know what i meant.

 

Here's my new build

 

Not sure if I have contributed earlier....but here is mine.

 

Here is my new project. Its a 350 with Dart heads,Team G intake, Pro Systems custom 780 carb, Mallory Unilite distributor, Comp Cams custom gind cam, Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers, BBK underdrive pulleys.

 

My new 10:1 355 just before it went in my 84Z. And my brothers early Xmas present to me, he smoothed and painted and stenciled my factory manifolds!

 

If I see you around, hopefully you'll let me hear that run. Looks mean.

 

Just had a few extra hours and pulled all of this out. (computer is now garage art)

Yeah now more clutter! Easy spark plug changes!

 

i have the same issue with trying to fit under a stock hood

 

my 2/4 setup

 

what size carbs are you running?

 

650's

 

here's a few more. just got it running i still need to tune them

 

Here is mine, 388 sbc Brodix aluminum headed w/ 3" true dual exhaust.

 

Hey Grod98, do you plan on racing this at the track and what rpm range is this setup going to run in? My RPM range for my setup is 3500-7000, and I shift anywhere from 6800-7000 rpms. Yours I'd imagine with the tunnel ram would be what around 4000-8000 rpms, but not with a none roller valve train setup as I see that the motor still has the stamped steel rockers and not roller rockers? Although I have not seen too many 383 sbc running that high in the rpm range as I thought they were designed for huge torque at a lower rpm range. I've seen lots of 327(331) and 350(355) make full use of a tunnel ram running anywhere up to 8000-9000 rpm and still be able to drive on the street.

 

Will post another pic when I rebuild :P

 

I see lots.of issues with both grod and project rs's setups. I imagine that both will be alower than 12.00. Too many mismatched parts, like you said no roller valvetrain, shorty headers with 1.5" primaries, etc.

 

i shouldnt have issues with mine. i am placing an order today for the correct cam (recommended by comp cams for the tunnel ram), matching valvetrain, pistons, and odds and ends to finish the motor. mine wont see much track time and i dont plan on revving past 6k on the street since mine is a weekend car

 

<insert noob question here>

For real though, why are your rocker arms staggered? I have never seen this before
