92 camaro 305tbi to 350 carb swap almost complete

Like the title says I'm about a week from completeing my 305 tbi to 350 carb swap, and I can't wait to drive it for the first time. I've been buying parts and researching stuff like crazy. My 350 is an L31 with edelbrock e-tec heads, a .539/.548 lift cam w/112, 750 cfm holley carb, air gap intake, full roller rocker arms (aluminum), comp cam 7.3" rods, double roller timing, 1 3/4 headers, mallory distributer, and a small stall (2100 to 2400). I'm running my stock transmission for now but am looking to upgrade a couple of months. As for the wiring I'm getting all emissions taking off, a/c and heater taken off aswell. I took it to my friends shop to do the emissions delete because I didn't want to struggle through all that wiring. Let me know what you guys think about my set up and what transmission I should go with ........

Got it back for the shop and I have a few problems, the gasket on the headers blew off when i reved it a little, and the oil pan is leaking oil . Oh and I think the timing is off because its not running to good. Once i get it running well I will post a vid. O and i installed the exhaust duals with glasspacks I might have to tone it down a bit because its kinda loud.

some duration numbers would be nice to see if you converter is too tight.... have someone build the 200/700r4 thats in you car.... if you want overdrive... if not then just get decent built turbo350... 400 not needed and takes more power to turn... plus there cheap...

sounds like a good combo...

what gears ya got???

check to make sure your dizzy is not tooth off....

throw your glasspacks in the trash... lol sorry had to say somethin... i hate those things... sound raspy and like ****....

bad *** motor....

i believe the 200/700-r4 have shorter first gear... there nic trannies... just cost more.... i think you should have atleast 3000 stall and if you keep the overdrive, some 4.10s... if you use a th350 i would go 355 or 373...

your duration numbers are the advertised... more important is the duration at .050... it will be listed for your cam.....

don't expect this car to leap off the line with the smallish stall converter and 2.73's.... looser converter.......
