me and steve raced last fri him in his 87 bird me in the camino. sorry guys it was sorry he got me off the line but once i hooked i was gone.

Yeah he took down my 86 LB9. The El Camino is pretty nice too.

What mods does the El Camino have? Is the Trans Am stock?

steve you finally posted in the racing section the camino is built it isnt that fast its quick. the transam does have some mods but ill let steve tell you them.

The Trans Am is mostly stock. The mods I have done are as follows.

-Crane Aluminum Roller Rockers
-Ported Plenum
-Throttle body bypass
-160 degree thermostat
-MSD 6AL
-Bosch Platinum +4
-Lakewood LCA
-BMR Strut Tower Brace
-GW Steering box brace
-Tires are BFgoodrich KDWS rear 275/40-17 on ROH snyper wheels

I think that's everything I need o make myself a list as I always leave something out. I am open to suggestions on what anyone thinks I should do next. I am currently in the process of polishing the TPI to a show finish and a BMR panhard bar and LCA relocation brackets are in the mail as is a KN airfilter from summit. At night I dream about a 383 and a T56.

lose the bosch platinums +4's they are junk! go with ac delco rapid fires

Bosh +4s are too hot for these motors. they might get you that jump off the line, but they're slowly destroying the pistons.

Yep dump the bosch junk, get some cheap NGKs and increase performance.

As long as we're dumping stuff, get rid of the MSD and the Al rockers.

Then buy a set of decent heads with that money.

Also us 86 LB9 owners have that wonderful cam.

Would the head and cam on the 305 be worth it or should I make the jump to a 350 or a 383 first.

What he said

Well, changing the cam on a SBC in car generally involves at least loosening the oil pan, and getting it to seal again is a huge pain, so I wouldn't mess with that. However, a good set of heads is a pretty easy swap to do as long as you have a week or so to pull it off. Best part about heads is they're interchangable from engine to engine. As soon as someone reads this they'll say 64 cc heads won't work on a 305. Then I'll say yes, you'll loose a little less than 1 point of compression, and everyone knows that compression doesn't effect HP nearly as much as flow does. Bumping the timing another 5 degrees and running 87 octane goes a long way to helping that out. The only thing to look out for is a 1.94 intake valve is as big as you can go until you chamfer the top of the bore, and then you still run into shrouding issues. If you want the cam to work better, set up the heads for more lift and use 1.6 rockers. That pig will absolutely come to life. You have to crank up the FP or burn another prom so you don't lean out. Changine spark plugs is good for 5 or 6 HP. If you really want to go fast you've got to improve the flow.

In the mean time, you can build up a nasty little short block.

Then it all goes back to the line above my name in my sig

bring it on over to my house we can build it up nice and tiddy. if i stroke my engine or bore it out will it **** of the smog machine

jocww

Put in the new BMR track bar yesterday. It's pretty nice. K&N filter comes today. Still looking for that block. I'm thinking about going to the yard on Sat. (GM Sport Salvage) interested?

sure sure dont have anything planned so far. going to go race that kid in the prelude to keep him from yapping. hopefully it will go down. lets meet at in n out on fri nite or somethin. hit me up on my cell or the house

350 with 202 heads cam kb pistons manifold carb gear drive

holy **** your motor has pistons and a manifold?? DAMN! How'd you manage that?

I think he meant for you to a bit more specific than that lol

i never give the specifics just the basics it has a crank too and an oil pan and nice bright shiny valve covers and blinker fluid but it can do this

ahhh I see, you probably have a lot of stickers too...

sooo whats your point you trying to say something

perhaps lol

the elco is nothing fast but it is quick

I know some civics that can be described that way

that is very true but how many civics are actually that quick to talk about but i guess if your in a lg4 or something a civic is something to talk about
