Pics of SC big block in car
Dude...not to get off the subject, but the blue camaro in the back, it looks like the wide cowl style. Where did you get that cowl hood?

yea thats too bad about seeing the collecters....it'll annoy me too...
What if the car had ground fx? would it make any difference?
dont have a real good judgement of how far down they are
Also...could you leave the headers in the car and drop the motor in..then put the headers on?

Awesome car. I don't know about the gfx idea to hide the collectors. I mean, it is a formie and that says to me, no gfx, lol. Maybe sidepipes would look cool but then again I don't know. Hope it's not too difficult or expensive for you to figure out.

The Camoro ground effets cover it up some (see the pics on my page) but not all the way. I have 3 chamber flowmasters mounted under the front foot/seat area. Currently there is 2 1/2 in pipes about 2 feet long after each muffler (the pipes are bent to follow the floor boards (ie the modified floor boards). I plan on changing it, but just not sure how yet 
I am thinking of running a single 3 - 3 1/2 inch exhaust out the back in the stock location (after routing the driver side over to the passenger side somehow.

ok I just asked the tranny guys about a flywheel for this....and I assume you have a stick car "gotta leave the bellhousing off to get the passenger side header in"
Are you using a 168 or 153 tooth flywheel???
Do you have an aftermarket bellhousing so you can use the specific flywheel?
Any info would be cool...

The pics are awesome! I wish I would have gone with a BBC for my Camaro. Just imagine the torque. I would have gone with aluminum heads for the big block. Oh well... Great car.

If you want the complete list of what needs to be done for the big block swap, go to my page. I did it about 3 years ago. It includes all the modifying for the Hooker super comps. There is some pictures there too.

Just go to your local hydraulic supply shop. They can make them up for you.

What kind of TBI is that? Also what blower?
Is the TBI holley projection or Accel or am I totally off?

Well, I was looking to ditch those rubber lines and replace it with two 5 foot lengths of the stainless braided stuff. So, basically from the hard lines clear to the TBI unit would be one single piece of braided line.
Of course, if I could run it so that I could put a FP gauge in there that would be nice. So that would mean it would go: Hard line -> Fitting -> Socketless hose -> Fitting -> Gauge -> Fitting -> Socketless hose -> Fitting -> TBI - at least on the supply line. Of course, I could also combine it so that as soon as it goes from hard line to fitting it would go directly into the gauge; thereby eliminating one length of hose. I dunno, we'll see.
Did that kit only come with those two pieces? $34 for two adapters!? Man, I hope not!
Thanks for all the help!

scauffiel,
I guess I didn't answer your entire question.
The part number I gave above will adapt your factory fuel lines to a -6AN fitting. The steel braided hose you see is just a standard 3/8 diameter piece from Summit Racing that you cut to length yourself. A large set of shears or snippers will do it. The fittings on the ends of the hose are just -6AN hose end fittings. The guys at Summit will know what you need. I also used a 90 degree swivel bend to fit to the TBI inlets. The last piece is a -6AN to 3/8 pipe thread fitting that screws into the throttle body. Now I don't know what fitting you'll need for your throttle body but if you take it to a parts store they should get you set up... then order some nicer stuff from Summit. The parts store will pretty much hand you ugly brass fittings.
The problem I ran into now is that I need to lay out 1/2 inch lines so everything I have there is useless. It would have worked well with my ZZ4 but it won't service the big block.
