The 6" rod will make more peak and like a higher RPM and the shorter rods will make a tad bit more torque and will peak tq and hp wise a little lower.

 

Here's mine (updated).

Okay, where'd you get that air cleaner decal? I've been looking for one of those.

 

Hey, Five7,

If you're still running the dual snorkel and I believe you are, you'll love this decal, which was made to fit that application (I bought, hoping to use the dual snorkel on my new motor, but since it won't fit the carb, I modified the decal). Check out the following link--the part number is DC1047, $10.50 + shipping:

Here's the direct link:

Though the name of the company includes "reproduction," the decal had GM stamped on the backing paper. At any rate, original or repo, the decal is first-rate.

That said, a local print shop can surprise you. Note what I had made for the rockers and rear bumper. Looks stock, IMO (If you'd like the template that I used, let me know):

Took awhile to navigate their site, but got there.

Thanks. I've been searching eBay for months for that thing.

 

I have been looking for that decal since 1989.

 

Wow I wonder if they can make the bumper decal for the 83-84 5.0 liter bumper decal for the Z/28s but instead of 5.0 put a 5.7 on it. Im all about factory looking stuff!

 

heres my carbed 2.8 v6 that decided to Kill its oil pump









Excuse it's dirt its useally a daily driver, but its sitting right now awaiting a new oil pump....

 

I e-mailed the company with that very question. They can't. As I demonstrated above, a good print shop can make what you want. If you'd like a copy of what I used, PM me.

I'm posting this separately on the carb board (with the direct link) since I've had several questions.

JamesC

 

Thanks for the link! It's great. I also liked the Z28 emblem with the 5.7 liter HO decal and then the Irocz center cap!

 

It's a work in progress....

 

anybody got any pics like these to show? How many have been down this road and tell about their OOPS?

 

*** bless America, that is an awful sight! Makes my head hurt.

 

A thread like that was started on the Tech forum a couple of years ago. Let's not go there with this thread.

 

Ok, Lets give it a happy ending. It started like that and ended like this.

 

Good ending...What kind of Carb it that

 

heres my beast, soon to have a nice fresh 4bolt in it.

 

Its a reworked Holley 750 By the Carb Shop

 

That's a sharp finish on your carb

 

Here is my 350 swap that took place this spring. My winter project will be cleaning up the wiring mess under the hood.

 

here's mine

Here's Mine

 

My 406!

 

still working on it...........

 

Here is a pic after getting the motor into the car. It has definately been a long 2 1/2 years, but finally starting to think that I may get to drive it this year.

Let me know what you think....

 

still working on my eng bay and 406!!! do you like your eng bay flat black???i was thinking that or semi gloss black. even though i have a red car and will be painting it red again soon. good lookin motor!!!

 

my 305

 

The flat black is going to be a pain to keep clean as you can see the footprint on the left side of the picture. The only reason that I did it in flat black was because of all of the polished aluminum and chrome on the motor.

and some small things I'm forgetting

 

Almost done!

 

Here's my newest 383 in my 92. A few minor details include:
Eagle 4340 crank and rods, AFR 195's, Comp 286XE hyd roller, Speed-Pro forged flat-tops, Demon 750.

 

I've always loved those valve covers. If they werent so damned expensive, and would fit center bolts, Id get em!

 

Doesn't someone manufacture a type of adapter that allows you to install a plate on the centerbolt mounts and use perimeter bolt pattern style vavle covers? I thought i saw a set at one time....Maybe i'm crazy.

 

they make adapters. Ive seen them in summit and jegs..

 

Very Very Nice looking engine and bay!

 

this is what i started with.

 

this is where im at

 

another pic

 

Work in progress

 

Its a 383.

 

Getting there, but get rid of that cheesy hose covering, mount the FPR, and loom up the plug wires.

 

 

here is how mine sits...

Hopefully i'll get the rest of the gaskets i need and redo the main fuel line and have it back on the road soon...

 

Man you need to tame that wiring! That and I don't think the alternator is going to do any good where it is

 

hahaha

Yah, it was all loomed before i ripped the top end off the engine. I want to figure out what i need and don't need and hopefully rip most of it out. I allready ripped out the old engine harness and computer last summer.

meh, the alt works fine right there.

 

Rip it all out and run your own wiring. That will give you the option of running it where you want. I wired up an aftermarket fuse block and mounted it to the inside the firewall on the passengers side. Everything in the engine bay or engine related (msd, fuel pump, fan etc.) is powered by that panel. That way if there's a problem I don't have to trace it through the GM harness and fight with fuseable links and daisy-chained circuits.
