TBI-max my boy from a car audio forums.... hes helping me out with my 358 build

I have a 92 caprice wagon orignally a 305 but blew the bottom end...... so im putting the 305 heads and intake on the 385....

http://www.jegs.com/i/Lunati/638/60100LK/10002/-1

The cam he recomended Is this came good for my combo

I have stock Drivetrain 700r4 and ~2.70 summin gear open dif

I plan on running a EBL i was going to use TBI chips.... but TBI-max directed me to a better setup

I like DYI stuff too

But I dont have alot of time i need to get a motor back in my Wagon as its my daily

 

he is looking for gobs of TQ for the heavy caprice wagon, and he is going to change his springs on the heads... He is keeping the TBI heads.

Is the smaller 305 heads going to raise compression even more? or is it workable?

the short block is already assembled with flat top pistons, so the compression is sorta on the high side... the block is a 1970 something... that means its prob going to be a 2peice rear main, and his old L03 might have been a 1peice. also Im certain its a flat tappet block, thus the cam we picked out.

GUYS please help him, as he is new to TGO... he is going to be using the EBL to tune it with.

 

Please clarify what you have. 358, or 385 cubes?

The cam you link will be fine for the 358. It's a baby cam, but will provide
power where the engine combo will make power. It also has a 4 degree
advance which will produce peak torque sooner in the RPM band.

 

358... lol... he definitely don't got more cubes than me...

 

That cam is fine for the 358. It's a not a high RPM cam, but that's OK
for this set up.

As long as you're not looking to break any track , or dyno records that
camshaft will produce excellent power for street use.

 

Yeah its not a race motor LOL.... I just needed something better than the tired 305 (plus it spun a bearing)


And woops def a 358..... sorry i wish i had more cubes than TBI-max lol
one day ima run Him LOL

 

I am runnig the next bigger Voodoo the 60101 but compression is an issue
you can't run it to high. When I got mine I didn't even check on the 60100
which probally would have been better with stock SP heads.

 

You running the EBL too..... I cant wait to get mine.... and 22mpg wow i hope i can do that

 

Are you planning on getting the Clasic or flash EBL?

 

FLash EBL

But idk if i wanna solder my chip myself

 

I think that you should look into a few other cam choices. Im runnin a comp Xe256h and I think that it has a litte more lift and duration than that cam, it runs good and idle's nice. Easy cam to tune. Has a very good 1500 to 4800 rpm range with my current setup. I would love to try the EBL as well but good luck on that combo. Do you have any idea what the Compression ratio is going to be??? As for the older block it wont cause you any problems, just get the right flexplate, non external balance and a slightly different bolt pattern. Any tranny shop can give you the right part#. As for being a 2p rear main, invest in the felpro one piece gasket for the pan and you wont be disapointed. Also remember to get the right water pump for the year of your car. The newer serpentive setups turn the opposite direction of the older v-belt setups. Im running a virgin 4bolt 350 from an 80 4x4 with no problems. Just waiting for the right excuse to do a nice rebuild/Stroker. Have fun and keep us updated.

 

Im resusing all the parts from the 305 back on the 358 till i get more money

THe water pump is brand new too less than 2 wks old acutally lol...

NAw dont have an Idea how much compresion i will realy have but i was told close to 10:1 or so

 

whats the progress man?

 

I got my EBL installed but I gotta get the serial/usb cable so I can learn the software

The 358 bottom End is sealed up but I need to pull the 305 out havent done it yet

Found a guy thats going to give me a 350 TB so gotta wait on that
and i Finally landed a JOB


Oh still need to get Tuner Pro or some form of .bin editor

 

Well is been a long 6 months motors finnaly back and barely running correct, but im getting there LOL
