monday we pulled her out w/ well over 190k on the clock.

 

rather barren... next pic is of the engine bay...

 

...:lala:

 

my new water pump, turned the CC dizzy into a primer, and the holley that needs rebuilt... slowly but surely.

 

good luck, i like the valve covers too.

 

I remember the days when I had a LG4. Glad it's over.

 

yah the LG4 kept me happy for a lil while.... can't wait to get the 350HO in its place.

....I've unbolted the 700 from the Lg4, does it just slip off? The torque converter bolts are undone from the flexplate.

Figured I'd ask before i broke it

 

Your tranny should just slide apart from the engine, same for the torque converter, as long as the bell housing bolts are out (6 of them) and the torque converter bolts from the flexplate (3?)

Nice engine, My LG4 has the same place your most likely does (floor/engine stand in a corner )

 

I think I can tell from the pic of the new engine, but please verify once & for all (to settle a discussion on another thread) if the Vortec heads have the "7th" exhaust manifold bolt hole. As in two bolt holes behind the rear port on the passenger side head.

 

there are only 6 bolt holes

 

wow is that ever nice,are ya putting headers on it too?

 

He better be! *shaking fist*

 

hedman long tubes! haha....

not gonna waste 3500 and run it through 1 inch manifolds....

 

got the 350HO in last night w/ the MD8 attached.

Rebuilt the 4160, hooked up fuel lines, headers, spark plugs/wires, Starter, you name it.

The dizzy needs some work... cap/rotor/coil...

Now I gotta go through all the wires to sort out which ones i don't need....

I still have the hook up the rest of the tranny, driveshaft, and torque arm, hopefully this weekend I can get it back on the road.

I'm at school, I'll try to get a pic or two later tonight....

Man, not driving my car for two weeks sucks.

:hail: 350

 

AAAAh there nothing like the smell of bf goodrich in the mornin

 

....:lala:

 

... i still have all my brackets, but which ones go to the power steering pump? lil lost there...

now to sort through the wiring, any advice? I only need the starter wires, sensor wires, and a tach and battery wires to the dizzy? Don't forget the grounds. Is that it?

TC lockup? I've searched that I can rig up a switch correct? In case i can't get that working right away, I have a 24,000 lb tranny cooler in my garage I'm gonna use.

Just ordered my dizzy tuneup kit, and throttle brackets...

I don't have a soccer game tomorrow, maybe i'll get it running.

... I'll make sure i run open headers the first day i can drive it to school again...

haha.... we got her fired up today

:hail: sounds super sweet w/ the open headers:hail:

timing is right under 8 degrees on the balancer and the holley is almost dead on tune too, fires up on the first crank of the key...

sort out the shift linkage and the tv cable and she'll be on the road...:lala: :lala: :lala:

finally,
brandon

 

my 350HO liked alittle more timing out of the box.

Just set your intial timing to what ever it needs to be at to get your total timing to around 32*
