Hehe, no problem and thanks for the info


icebird_1981, thanks for the comment I'm planning to do some cosmetic things to the car this year since I dropped a load of cash into the engine and transmission last year. I should be able to order up the first thing in 2 or 3 weeks

 

here's mine.........just got it on Sunday!

 

Not a thirdgen but an F-body

 

1

 

2

 

and 3
no idea how to put them all in one
sorry

 

i love the crinkle looks on things like the valve covers. thats how my m/t valve covers look. is that a mustang? you said f body but not thirdgen.

 

anyone have a cheap set of headers?

 

ive never thrown a belt but i did rip one apart one time, came into a corner at low rpm with a 3500 stall convertor with lockup and when i jumped on it to get the a** end around the surpentine belt tore in half taking out the power steering belt. Thank *** it was about 100 ft from my driveway when it happened

 

it's a 67 camaro, almost finished...

 

Here's my PITA that is constsntly a work in progress.

 

Here is a picture of mine

 

Another

 

Wildbird Nice valve covers.
How do you clean your windshield when driving?

 

I have to actually drive it to get the windshield dirty. LOL It doesn't get driven in any kind of weather if I can help it.

 

On the stand...

 

And in the car (crappy pic, I know)...

 

.

 

This is my 383... but I switched form a 780VS to a 650DP because I went with a 5 speed setup.

 

Here's my humble 305... It's a mess under there, stupid emissions crap... But I've almost finished my dual air snorkel!

 

12's would be great but I'd change the air cleaner before you push it. I used those for years and they suck the foam into the carb if you run them hard. My SS396 Chevelle sucked them in all the time.

BTW: Some VERY nice cars here! My IROC is a 350TPI but my other cars are all Carb'd.

'70 SS396 Chevelle:

 

here is a pic of the car im building for a customer...its a carburated motor, the carb just isnt on yet.

 

same engine just on the stand

 

the picture didnt come up

 

heres a pic of my pile....


cant wait to swap the motor out into the new body and clean up under the hood..


Later,
Greg

 

what on earth are you running in that small block to justify a big dominator?!?

 

 

BELOW

 

It's about time I get some type of pics up.
This is a shot of my 388 before I started to really clean her up, new pics on the way soon, plus of the new SS look.

For now, tell me what you think? I removed all heater/ac stuff, and finally put sheet metal over the holes, looks good, the bay is clean and with plenty of room.

She dyoned at 525 hp at the wheel, soon to add 200 shot n20.

 

Holley 600 DP

 

well here they are. i finally got the swap done. took out the 2.8 and here is the 355.

 

Dude are you sure rubber fuel line across the hot intake/valve cover is safe?

 

The rubber fuel lines work fine. They are designed to be in the hot engine compartment.

 

ok yours are all pretty and mine is a hose and wiring nightmare, how the heck do ya do it?

 

I wanted to ask that same question do tell us. Everyone with those clean engine bays how do you do it?

 

If you try to run it at a sanctioned track, it won't pass tech. There's a maximum total length of rubber line allowed (every piece adds to the total) - I don't have the rule book in front of me so I'm not sure of the exact value, but just the part that's in the picture is more than enough to violate the rule.

 

Hmm...I just did a search and it appears that the maximum length of rubber line allowed from the tank to the carb is 12 inches. If this information is incorrect someone please correct it. I am a bit worried now because I had to make a dual feed setup for my 750 Holley out of rubber line because the dual feed metal line wouldn't fit and clear various parts of the intake, alternator and such. I think our cars had more than 12 inches of rubber line between the tank and the carb stock from the factory, but I could be wrong? Anyway, I guess I'll need to work on that...bummer

"factory rubber hose" is actually braided line. it's just not the stainless earl's hose. that rubber hose will not pass any type of tech at a sanctioned track

 

ahh...I see what you're saying. You can kind of see the braided pattern in the factory rubber lines and in some of the higher end fuel line you get at auto parts stores. It's not just smooth, you can see the outline of the webbing inside the rubber. I don't have anywhere near as much rubber line as droppedgmc has on his, but I'm still going to try and cut down on the amount I'm using...

-Paul

 

as soon as i get back from deploymant, all the hoses are getting switched to braided line

 

n00bie wants to post pics... and for some reason they dont show up..

same car engine just after dropping in

 

Never said it was track legal. Just said it would hold up to the heat. I have installed braded lines since those pics. I needed the car so I had to have a temporary hookup.

 

Things have changed since my earlier pic in this thread. Here's the L69 now....
