If i find a cc q-jet that was not meant for my car, can i just replace the rods, hangars and do some of the other mods listed on the tech page? Or will i end up having to mess with the primary part of the carb to get it to run right, too? Any specific ones i should look for?

I plan on building a 350 with a Crane 2050 cam, World Products s/r torquers, and use my 700 R-4. The reason i need to get a new carb is because i had to jbweld the nut that screws into the fuel filter case, and put in an inline filter. (dont' wanna mess with that when i get the new engine in) Plus, it wouldn't pass tech at firebird raceway like that.

 

anyone?

 

There weren't significant differences between computer controlled carb engines. Basic tuning should cover it.

Consider: GM's HO 350 Conversion Kit, which used the ZZ4 engine, used the same carb with rods/hanger change (and ECM/PROM - but that was more to make sure the lamer LG4 ECM/PROMs were covered than anything else).

Perhaps someday my combo will be atop a 350 shortblock. I don't anticipate any problems doing that.

 

cool, so basically a rod/hanger change and setting the air valve will cover it? should i get into the primary parts too?

 

"Normal" adjustments.
