SLP runners
I got a set really cheap so Im going to put them on. Are they a direct bolt in or do I need to modify the SLP runners in anyway?
I just want to be able to remove and replace but will the fit correctly? or are some bolt holes not going to line up or something else?
thanks

OK, I did a search and found the answer to my question. sorry..
another question, the verdict on the runners with a 305 is kinda split and more in favor of the 350...but looking at the mods that I have do you think I will benefit with putting the runners on...if not then I might just sell them.
I dont want to go thru the trouble of putting them in if I will see no gain..
thanks

Most people I think would say to stick with a more stock type runner if you do swap them, something like edelbrock's or best yet AS&M, especially for a 305. Personally, I'd swap them on and see. Doing a runner swap seems pretty straight forward.
If, in the event you do swap them and don't like them, let me know... maybe I can take them off your hands

you are definitely going to notice a little less low-end. I did.

You only lose about 10-15 ft/lbs. If you think about it, you will notice a very slight lag, not nearly as much as you lost with that LT1 cam, however, you will lose a little.

SO would you say I go ahead and put them on? The stall should help out what tq I loose if any. Some dont lose at all...

Like I said before, it's a pretty straight forward job, just give them a try. What do you have to lose, a set of gaskets?

Well I did mine at the same time I installed headers, a catback and a few other things, and I definitely noticed a little less low end in granny driving around town. From light to light. If I get on it the car still won't hookup, so its not like I lost low end all together or something. I am interested to see the dyno results from my stock baseline and now. It wont hurt performance in the way you might be thinking. But I tend to over analyze everything on my car and I feel and hear every little noise and change that happens.
