I've been doing some reseach and I tried doing a but I need more specific info. First off I have a 305 with a 5 speed and 3.42 posi. I have hedman long tube hedders and a magnaflow catback for 94-98 camaro in mind. I know I need to make my own y-pipe and adapt the catback to fit but that is fine. Also I was thinking of a carb intake either Weiand 8000 or edelbrock 3701. I work in a machine shop so fabbing a throttle linkage and y-pipe aren't the problem. I'm looking for opinions on parts selections or problems that I might not be aware of. thanks for your help.

 

theres a few ods and ends when going with a carb intake.... i love the one i went with!!

 

I beleive I read else where that you made your own. Am I right and if so any pictures. Also what odds and ends. The 2 choises have provisions for EGR. What am I missing?

 

Here are the notes from putting mine on: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=214897

 

thanks TONYC any help is appreciated. Anyone have problems with hedman long tube headers on a 5-speed car?

 

FYI unless you have pre86 heads neither of those intake manifold will work on your car. You need something that will fit 87+ heads. For example Summit PN EDL-3704, EDL-2104, etc. The angle on the center intake manifold to head bolts are different from 86 to 87. Id suggest going with a carb manifold w/ adapter plate, but if you want ease of installation go with EDL-3704 since there is no modification to throttle cables etc.

As far as long tubes, there shouldnt be a problem w/ a manual trans, the only problem would be ground clearance is limited.

But if your looking for more power you have to get rid of the cam and get a tune(i know its been said a billion times and played out) but those are the two main things contributing to TBI's lack of power. So before you look into a new intake manifold you might want to look into a cam. You will benefit from that way more than the intake manifold only. IMO

 

I don't think the headman headers fit the 5-speeds hits the slave cylinder. Call them and ask.

 

You can simply elongate the center holes, it's not that big of a deal. I use cap head bolts and no spacer, some people make spacers, some buy the ones that come with the stealth ram. It really isn't that big of a deal. I think getting the throttle cables to line up correctly is a much bigger deal.
