New Carb
 
Howdy,

I finished swapping my old E-Performer 600 for an E-Performer 750. Here a some before and after shots.

Before:

After:

The truck runs much smoother and usually kicks on after 1 or 2 cranks. So far, no peddle pumping required.

Enjoy!

BTW, I realize a stud is missing. The PO had drilled out the mounting hole on the other carb and used a standard bolt instead of a stud.

Why'd you step up to a 750? I always thought that was a bit much for a 350.

Not a 350. It's a 355 with flat top pistons, scat crank and rods, big muther thumper cam, and full exhaust. Plus, it was on sale for $200 @ Jegs.

The motor would disagree ;)

well What did you do with the old one :)? 750 thunder series Worked great for my 350 in my camaro. It was a stock 350 with performer intake and hedman headers.

Well, yeah... for 2 bills I'd have gone that route as well! :lol:

I boxed the old one up. It would cost roughly $100 just to rebuild the thing. Not sure what to do with it, honestly.

Next thing in line is to upgrade the dizzy with a MSD HEI upgrade kit along with MSD wires. Trash that Accel junk.

I see you have headers. What do they run down to? MSD has alway done me well. well instead of letting that carb rot away you should send down my way :) I'll reimburse you on shipping!

I think the headers run into 3" pipes with flowmasters. I am uncertain of the series for the mufflers.

I'll have to get a vid up of the truck running soon.

That should Flow nicely with your motor. Id like to see it running.
