Carb Swap and new Intake
Carb Swap and new Intake
I've got a 90' camaro RS with a 350 from an 88gm truck.
im sure this is already explained somewhere so could someone link me to a TBI to carb swap?
im new to carb so what would be a good performance carb i was told to aim around a holley 650?
and what Intake would work best with that? (none vortec)
Thanks guys

Like the linked tech article says, Performer or Performer RPM. If you keep the truck heads and don't have big performance plans, a Performer in the '87-up configuration would bolt right on and work well. The Performer RPM isn't available in '87-up config, and probably wouldn't do you any good as long as you have the truck heads on, anyway.
Weiand & Holley make equivalent intakes to the Performer. You might be able to find a ZZ4 take-off manifold on eBay, craigslist, racingjunk, etc, for less than a new intake. But, it wouldn't have the '87-up bolt pattern. Not a biggie, just elongate the center two mount bolts on each side so the bolts will line up with the bolt holes in the heads. But, getting an '87-up manifold would be a lot easier.

Re: Carb Swap and new Intake
I plan on slowly building this car up to high performance. soon ill have a dayly driver and will be able to get to things like the heads, cam, ect.. for now though i think im just going to switch to carb, and new intake. the higher the performance the better.. it will just take a good amount of time for me to finish it haha
