So my car is finally finished. I have a 92 camaro rs with a 383 tbi in it. It passed CA smog and everything. Only took about 4 months but that includes the engine swap, transmission rebuilding, and rear end getting rebuilt plus all the small issues I ran into. Ill include some pictures of the engine before it was put it. I'll have to take some more of it in the car since I had to change all the plugs again it looks a little bit different.

 

Good to hear.
Feels good to have done that too.
Little bit harder with CA emissions too.

 

What size injectors and throttle body did you choose and who did you source them from?

 

I used the tbi unit from the 305 and put 350 fuel injectors in it.

 

hmm....looks just like a freshly rebuilt 305, with some Edelbrock headers. good work.

 

Which cam and cylinder heads did you use?

The engine is a 383 it was made to look like a 305 for smog though.*hint* the 5.7 on the block was grinded to 5.? and then painted. The cam in it is the comp cam 12-388-4. The heads on it is World S/R Torquer. By no means does this engine make massive power it made about 295 horsepower and 400 lbs of torque.

 

Here's some pictures of the block. I haven't had time to take pictures of the engine in the car but I will once I have time.

 

where does CA stand on the Vortec L31 heads? last i know it wasn't legal, even if you retained the EGR. i guess neither the GMPP intake, nor the heads carry an EO #.

 

As far as I know Vortec heads aren't legal in CA unless the car came with them. Otherwise you have to update all of your smog to a car that came with those heads. I haven't seen any with a CARB sticker or anything. I just got my registration sticker on today I'll take some more pics of the engine in the car. Looks a little difference since I had to change all my spark plug wires again.

 

Some pictures of the engine in my car.

 

Nice job, hope I can do the same one day.

At wat rpm s did u get tose numbers?

 

It was at 4500 rpm. I haven't gotten my transmission adjusted yet to shift higher.
