Re: My long term 57 project
Let's add another item to my growing list of updates!
Looking at some fabric, this is from a '63 Impala, I think it will go well with the '61 Impala speaker!

Re: My long term 57 project
I think I might have this video thing figured out.
Here are links to 2 videos, one with the Flowmasters and the new Black Widow Exhaust Venoms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrjKKxVke1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpDibidhYsA

Re: My long term 57 project
Sounds pretty wicked, JJ.
You say they quiet down at highway cruising speed? If not I doubt I could live with them long term but they DO sound bad ass. Danny likey!

Re: My long term 57 project
Hey JJ, did you bump up that cam in your ZZ? Could be the Venoms, but sounds a bit thumpier. Can't wait to light off my ZZ383 for the first time - perhaps this winter!
Cheers, Jim |

Re: My long term 57 project
The new ones do sound more aggressive at idle and it is interesting how that aggressiveness diminishes as the rpm's come up. Sounds good!

Re: My long term 57 project
Ok, I've gotta ask: This "ZZ383" is it a crate GM engine? Why or whose "ZZ" designation is it? What's the stated HP and Torque figures?

Re: My long term 57 project
Hey Dan, the "ZZ" is a GM designation for their high performance crate motors. The ZZ383 stroker is a SBC rated at 450/450.

Re: My long term 57 project
Thanks JJ. I was looking at crate engines on Summit's site last night and all-in-all I was fairly surprised how reasonably priced they are.
My little 283/350 combo ran fine but I know it has a weak cylinder and I've always been told it costs more to have a 283 machined and rebuilt than it does to just replace it with a base 350 crate motor. Of course once I started looking I realized for "only" X more I can step up from the base motor to something with a little more umph! Lol Slippery slopes!

Re: My long term 57 project
Take a spelling lesson and try L S, I am old and I was able to understand all that info
There is a bit of a learning curve but well worth it

Re: My long term 57 project
You talkin to me?
I'm old too, I guess. Soon to be 62. You're recommending I consider going with a salvaged LS engine?

Re: My long term 57 project
I'm hoping to do an LS install with the new frame.
Here's another video for your viewing pleasure! https://youtu.be/EagvZBY0MVk
