My budget project

 

With heads off and being worked on, repainted everything. Looks pretty good.

 

Here's a picture of a 355 I built back in 1999. 12:1 compression ratio, TRW forged dome pistons, Chevy pink rods, ARP bolts, ported 2.02/1.60 Bowtie heads milled to 62cc, solid roller cam, Team G intake, Cloyes double roller timing chain. Ran 11.10's - 11.00's at 119 mph. 1.54 60' times. Later slapped a set of Dart builders heads on there and Improved to 10.8's.

I'll have to get my 305 pics up

 

 

Here's mine. though this year I will be adding Twin Turbos.

 

Wow that gorgeous man,

 

NICE!!!

 

and this gentlemen is how not to do a carbed engine/carb swap



no i didnt do that po did it they removed the l98 and swaped in that engine

to remove the ecm wiring they took bolt cutters and just cut the harness leaving it under the hood


this is what it looked like one day after i got her home

after about a week i said fug it and put the tpi back on it and put twin turbos on it

 

Here is the transformation of mine between when i got it in march last year until the front pump seal went out on the tranny in about july. Been on jackstands since.

 

Here is my work in progress

 

How in the world do I post pics on here?

 

 

complete engine rebuild, working on the paint right now, all Edelbrock performer series

 

is that muffler cement on the headers?

 

No it was my first attempt at painting headers, came out nice but I forgot to heat treat it so all the paint on the piping burned off lol, my sad story

 

ohh ok lol i had a set of headers i ended up using muffler cement on because no matter what set of gasket i had they would leak was wondering if you had the same problem haha

 

Goin together next weekend!

I still have a crap load of work to do on 'er, have already soaked an addition G into fixing the PO's goober screw ups, still need to put in another G to get everything right

* Can anyone identify those valve covers ? I can not find anything about whom the manufacturer may have been.

 

Here is my vortec headded 355.

Just got a new 3" filter and decided to snap a pic.

 

Who makes your strut tower bar?

 

the holley in this pic is junk. waiting for a new carb.
but, it's a 350 L Code crate engine. ported and polished heads. mid length headers. .468 lift cam. edelbrock torker2 manifold. 1" carb spacer. running AC Delco plugs with 8MM wires. Lightweight flywheel.
Mated to a T-5 manual trans

**this was also before i had a chance to clean up the new wiring and do some more cleaning and make it look pretty. this is right after i test fired the engine and broke in the cam.

 

That isn't a Torker II intake in your picture (which I would consider a good thing, by the way...).

 

might be a torker 1......
its a mid rise single plane.

 

looks like a torker II to me. the torker I has even shorter runners.

 

Yup the torker 1 had those straight X runners.

 

Here is mine just done recently. Its just thrown together for now to get it running. Plan on changing a lot of things.

 

Ah, you guys are right. Thought it was a dual plane at first, but looking at the pic on a better monitor...

Sorry for the confusion.

(Still don't like the Torker intakes...)

 

haven't been on in over a year. heres my current setup......

 

 

This is my set up that im currently building on my tpi to carb swap, it was a tpi 350 but ditched out the tpi and adding the intake airgap rpm with a 750 db holley with a 288 comp cam and ina month ill be ordering a set of profiler 195cc heads , i will post more pics once i have everything bolted up

 

Here is mine. Just dropped it into place.

 

This is the carb going on.

 

Nothing special but it's my daily driver for now.
Also, it no longer has that triangle of death on it. :P

 

My most recent TPI - to - Carb motor conversion:




Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 650carb, Mr gasket carb adapter, drop base air cleaner, 3" filter, Edelbrock Lid,....... The hood JUST touches the top of the air cleaner.

 

 

Now that is one pretty motor you got there!

 

real engines are DIRTY and have hoses running EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!
