Re: Engine gurus, would these be ok ingredients for a 383 (ylose)

:confused:
You mentioned this engine was a street set up. And that you wanted to save money by not having to trick out the motor. So why are you stepping away from it because of a cast crank, and...

Re: I may need some help picking a carb. (gdh)

As far as design goes, I personally prefer the Holley design. I'm now running a BG Gold Claw double pumper on my 427 big block, and it's a wonderful carb. I've had no problems with it.

I feel...

Re: Best Competition to C3???? There is/was one..... (SuperFast80)

Well, there were three others actually, and they were within GM during the C3 Corvette's reign.

The LS7 found its way into the Chevelle but never in a Corvette. It was supposed to go into the...

Re: If I pull the engine for a rebuild, what else do I need to do while it is out? (1970 Stingray)

If you need to repair or restore anything in the steering system, or if you're upgrading it to a Steeroids system, do it now! It's infinitely easier to sit on the front crossmember and leasurely...

Corvette "Deals of the Century"

Two friends of mine just went in together on a 1978 Corvette Pace Car for $3500. All it had wrong with it is a spun bearing, and they yanked the engine and it's in the machine shop now. I expected...

Maserati advice...(NonVette- Sorry)

A friend of mine has a 70's Maserati Merak. It's really a beautiful car, looks like a cross between a Ferarri 308 GTB and a Lamborghini Miura. The only problem is that the car is heavy for the...

Re: Remember my oil pressure problem? (427Hotrod)

The bearings looked fine. In fact, the engine looks great. The oil is perfectly clean with no metal fragments at all.

I fired it up and let it get warm. 42 psi at idle cold, and a full 30 psi...

Remember my oil pressure problem?

I don't know what happened to my original post, but it's gone. Anyway, I posted about a low oil pressure problem on my new 427 big block that got worse when the engine warmed up. The general...

Re: Dream projects...what to do with some spare engines? (69stingray)

A 377 would be best with steep gears and an rpm cam, probably a solid roller. For this, the car I build around it would have to be a pre-1974 so that I can get by the smog laws.

So what I've...

Re: Engine gurus, would these be ok ingredients for a 383 (ylose)

I think it sounds like a pretty solid combo. One thing I might add are ARP main studs. If you have nodular iron caps, that should be okay for a street motor, but if you plan on actually approaching...

Re: big blocks and 5 speeds (need-for-speed)

Ever consider a ZF-6 speed double overdrive transmission from a late model Corvette or F-body? Considering the German engineering, I would trust the ZF at least as much as a Tremec or ROD. And I...

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)

Ever consider tri-power for your small block? That's hard to beat for the "Kustom" factor that you're after. And you could probably actually get triple 2-bbl throttlebodies for the thing. ...

Re: Specs on Chevy bigblock oval port heads and cam feedback- HELP please (VetteLS6)

My vacuum is about 6.5 in-hg at idle, and my lowest possible idle is around 1000 rpm. However, it is enough vacuum to operate my headlights and brakes, surprisingly.

About your stall speed, a...

Re: 406 intake questions (ld85)

You would love the TPI. The midrange torque is so fabulous with those things that they are a pleasure to drive on the street. However, 406 cubic inches will definitely be pushing it. I can easily...

Re: Possibly getting a c3, but need to ship from Colorado to New Jersey (tabbruzz)

That's easy to rectify. A 350 engine is capable of impressive power and performance, and can still be kept emissions friendly. The 355 I pulled out of my Corvette, I simply bolted up a tuned port...

Re: Possibly getting a c3, but need to ship from Colorado to New Jersey (dlw)

Is it a small block or big block C3? If it's a small block, wait for the snow storms back east to subside and then drive it if it's in sound condition. Make sure you obtain AAA membership first and...
