Show us pics of your TBI engine! And some specs!

knightowl73 · 07-27-2011, 10:23 AM

heres mine, though not in my truck just yet, still in my other project as of now since im undecided. But its a 87 305 truck block with stock cam for now, set of ported and polished 305HO heads, a 82 vette CFI INTAKE WITH 2- 1BBL TB'S, 91 chevy truck wiring harness,sensors, computer, and dizzy/coil combo. Despite what everyone thinks about CFI ( ya know, the "cease-fire" thing), once you get rid of the crossfire's OG computer and dizzy its a fine setup. Hopefully ill be driving it around more, so far havent had many problems sneaking it out here and there, but the car still isnt legal. just been hitting the backstreets. Possibly might go in my 93 stepper daily if it proves to be as trustworthy as the v6 in it now. Just somethin different.

^That's cool, never seen the cross fire setup adapted to something else.

Here's my work in progress, 188k mile, 93 350:

Semi-functional cowl hood, filter-top K&N, Airraid spacer, Hypertech chip. Proform valve covers, powdercoated Tuff Stuff alternator -- going for the all-black look, one day. Everything else is stock, including the very worn-out valve guides. Needs: Bottom-end rebuild, Vortec heads, cam, headers, more fuel, upgraded ignition, and a real tune. Or an LS swap

Heres mine, motor is all stock with the exception that its currently getting a little refresh with new gaskets and timing chain and detail. motor has 210000 km on it and runs like a top.
Before

And current, still painting and detailing most parts. intake and water pump are finished and i have a chrome timing cover that is going on.

bpeters5814 · 07-27-2011, 07:04 PM

I dig that orange paint. Looks awesome!

benoit454 · 07-27-2011, 10:21 PM

stock 5.7 with tbi, all factory/stock rebuilt by me. Stock cam, internals etc. Only add ons was chrome, headers, and plug wires.

1badgmc · 07-27-2011, 10:30 PM

I haven't invested a whole lot under the hood of my '91. No go-fast goodies or anything fancy. Just a little bit of color matching here and there. I really don't have any good shots of the engine bay. This is really about the best I've got.

96twodoor · 07-27-2011, 10:37 PM

^ cool pic ,

jb1016 · 07-27-2011, 10:39 PM

That is such a cool pic!

89chevsj · 07-27-2011, 11:48 PM

wait a minute. is that a plexi hood? or some awesome photo editing skills?

mountie · 07-28-2011, 12:08 AM

With 365,000 miles on the truck, parts get replaced....

At 220,000 miles I dropped in a 'special order' 350, 4-bolt main, & configured for a Pro charger... some day. I had a cracked head a couple years ago & replaced the whole top-end. The engine is strong, but waiting for the supercharger. Not a race set-up, just a little bit more power.

I have a raised air cleaner designed like a velocity stack, and a Tornado.

I used a stainless steel 4" duct to (sort of) "ram" the cool air from a 4" X 14" scoop, just the the right-edge of the grill opening. Cutting A 4" hole behind the headlight. I have a very tight 4" curve to manage the turn to the air scoop.

Since the photos I installed MSD plug wires with an aluminum wire harness bracket.

I like things 'stock' but just a bit better.

iluvmy72 · 07-28-2011, 12:51 AM

Dangit....can't post pics yet cause I am not done.....but will be a vortec 5.7 engine with big block TBI on top.

Put the camera on a tripod.
Take a pic with the hood open.
Take a pic with the hood closed.
Combine the pics in Photo Shop and voilà!

Are we supposed to guess what year / model this 350 is in?

TURFKING · 08-01-2011, 07:52 PM

Orangette- Do you close up pics of the other side of your engine? I have a '93 4.3l with a mystery plug that goes nowhere.
