Yeah, my best friend put a set of aluminum trick flows on his 350sbc Chevelle. They were around $1,200, and trust me, the weight difference is worth it. A set of aluminums weighs about as much as, if not less than, one cast iron head. That extra 200$ is DEFINATELY worth it imo. Not only are you getting better flowing heads, but you are getting damn near 80 pounds taken off the front end. To put that in perspective, that's close to 1/10 off your quarter mile, in wieght alone.

 

Anyone do the lt1 intake conversion??I may be gettin a the intake and throttle body in a trade.How hard is it and what does it require??

 

Im thinking about buying this.... http://members14.clubphoto.com/micha...48/guest.phtml .....Will it be the same drilling mods and everything that would be required for an lt1 intake?????

 

holley stealth ram.

 

how much of an upgrade will i see with stock heads and the cam that is listed on the first page with the HSR???And how much is an assembled setup....

http://www.holley.com/types.asp?type=53 .......i would buy it fully complete/assembled.....so what part ### would i buy....the only other mod for this motor will be the cam thats on the 1st page....let me know thanks Mike

 

http://stealthram.com/costtoswap.html if you allready have a tpi. makes it much cheaper. also join that message board if you wana know more about it.

 

yup its an original 87 L98 with all hardened interals with 46,000 original miles and only 6,000 on rebuild/cam install.

 

So that will be all the things i need to swap and then decide if i wanna go with a bigger throttle body or the stock one.

 

yep

 

I'll jump into the fracas here,this isn't the cheapest route but I gathered the parts as I could afford them and then put them together,GMPP PFI INTAKE,Vortec cast iron heads assembled(cheap!)Ls-1 throttle body,crane cam,.crane gold roller rockers,I invested in the fuel log setup for the PFI intake rather than trying to backyard technology it,Oh and Adustable fuel pressure switch out of and Lt 1 motor.The most expensive parts were the intake and fuel rails,I bought these before GM had the whole thing as a kit.All in all the car rocks now!!Well not at the moment fuel pump is out.

 

Do you have a part # or a link for that intake and/or the kit?

 

would i have to get my chip burnt/reprogramed on a dyno after replacing the regular intake with the HSR with bigger TB/injectors?????
