Although it will be very different when the hood is up. The TV cables are just as easy to hook up on a DBC throttle body as it is on a carb.

They make same hp and tq. I will only have one or two days to swap everything from gen 1 engine to gen 3. And want the ease of tuneing my self.

Down grade? The only diff is i will get a little less mpg. But i will be getting more then i am now. It will have same power. And look bad ass.

85burb · 04-01-2010, 09:33 PM

update.....Motor was dropped off at my work again today. Will look at it monday i hope. If it is the right engine this time i will have more pics.

Was wondering if i put l92 heads on it the only manifold they sell is for 3500-7500 rpm. I will have a 670 holly on it. Have not picked out a cam yet. I have a 1800-2000 rpm converter on it. was woundering how bad it will kill the low end if i use the big manifold compared to the 1500-6500 rpm one. But the low rpm manifold does not work with the l92 heads. I need help on this. thanks

85burb · 04-05-2010, 03:19 PM

Finally The right one YAY..Going to get it on stand today i hope. should have more pics soon.

And they managed to send the right one this time!!! But they sold the power steering pump off of it when it was waiting to be shipped. But they sent one to me in mail. The sails man guy said this is the hardest sale they have ever had.

bigdnew · 04-06-2010, 11:16 AM

that make it even more worth it when you get it in and running.

85burb · 04-06-2010, 03:06 PM

Oh yes it will. Hope to have it done buy end of the year.

85burb · 04-12-2010, 06:37 PM

Got carb in mail. YAY... But now i have to get it to pass the state safty inspection. First place failed me for missing 1 of 8 lugnuts and if you floor truck with e brake on it moves a little. It has a 4;10 rear end and a 3.xx first gear and a 2000 stall converter in it. Not a hole lot is going to stop it. dand sure not a 30 year old drum brake... second place failed me for power steering drip. It leaks maybe 3 dropps a month. just want to get on with motor swap and not deal with small stuff.

85burb · 04-12-2010, 11:13 PM

If any one needs carb tuning just let me know i know a lady that is pretty darn good

justpball · 04-13-2010, 09:34 AM

dang I am so glad we dont have inspection in AL...LOL

85burb · 04-13-2010, 01:33 PM

Ok went to non-crybaby place and it passed. Its back on now.

menace121978 · 04-13-2010, 10:39 PM

Oh it is going to happen. I will be ordering some parts this week. Not sure what tho. Maybe mounts and fuel pump and some fuel hose. Or maybe the control box. Just not sure.

85burb · 04-15-2010, 10:40 PM

Just put in an order for my hole fuel system, 105 GPH fuel pump, 20 feet of Braided Stainless Steel, -6 AN hose, lots of fittings, fuel log with same hose and fittings, regulator, PSI gauge, hose holders, and last but not least a hose barb. Should look very nice all together.

85burb · 04-20-2010, 07:40 PM

Was able to get some work done on engine. Removed intake, exhaust, accesory brackets, and looked under valve covers. All looks pretty good. Just dirty on out side. Next time i work on it i plan on painting it.

85burb · 04-20-2010, 07:41 PM

Got some bling in mail today....

85burb · 04-20-2010, 07:42 PM

Also will sell stock motor mounts that came with it and AC bracket and intake manifold assembly.

85burb · 04-24-2010, 08:37 PM

Latest pic... She is showing me how to "fisk" my speedo cable.

**nlped** · 04-24-2010, 09:01 PM

^^^That picture is awesome!!!

85burb · 04-24-2010, 09:22 PM

She also knows Hollys well. Trying to get her to get all the way under so she can get to all the tight spots for me.

85burb · 04-26-2010, 11:42 PM

Not a hole lot going on this week. Trying to figure out what flywheel/spacer combo to use. Any ideas?

68GMCCustom · 04-26-2010, 11:50 PM

I can't help yet....I ordered the GM one but haven't recieved it yet.
