Well from the comments that i got today, YOUR ALL BASTARDS! , im guessing ill probably build up the car


im checkin out the buysell right now and was wondering about carbs... i have here.

-EDELBROCK 750 cfm #1407, grt carb $200

-Holly 650 speadbore all apart, chemically cleaned, c/w $60 rebld kit $100

-Torker high rise alum manif for small box Chevy $195

-MSD 6AL used 1 yr $240 obo

could not find any cams but oh wellz, ill check again.. i know russ at bestbuy can give me a cam /w lifter kit for $239.

 

if your considerign keeping your 350 and going to bigger carbs you should really consider the aftermarket efi swaps for sbc. youll get way better mileage and driveability and no loss of horsepower.

 

hey! stop talking that efi blasphmey! that stuff belongs nowhere near an old style 350 or any other motor for that matter! dont listen to him buddy! ill help you with a good combo, with no evil electronic mumbo jumbo

 

SURE! you have $3500 i can borrow??? no thx... ill stick with the carb... thx anyways, ive looked at that direction.

jason u have any ideas with those parts or anything.... i should be gettin 500 tomorrow i hope, then 80/100 in the near week i believe.

 

tell me what you want the car for and what kind of stuff your planning on doing with it etc. and desired operating rage, oh and some specs on your car like gears etc. i can whip something up

 

If I were you I would only buy a 4150 model holley. Look for holley list # 4776-2 or 4777-2(600 and 650cfm). The torker high rise guy wants way too much plus you don't need a high-rise with that motor.Get a performer or performer rpm manifold. Either of these manifolds you should be able to pick up used for 150 at most. Don't bother with the msd...your hei is a good distributer and can be hot-rodded for cheap or you can buy a proform billet distributer with all the goodies from mopac for 250 like I did.

 

whats wrong with the high rise??? i want to use that 4" cowl... i want that carb high...

 

well i don't plan on doing lots of racing... i want a nice street rod! something with an awesome lope but i would love to get the power to a reasonable level....

i don't know about the gears... 2:73 maybe i dunno... w/e came in that yr. the engine is a 4bolt btw if that makes any difference

 

ttt

 

Just use a non-drop base air cleaner and a 1" spacer and you'll need the cowl.

2.56:1, 2.73:1, 3.08:1, 3.42:1 were all avialable in 80. If it originaly came with a 305, it has 2.56:1 (automatic) or a 3.08:1 (manual). All 6 cyl cars got a 2.73:1.

 

ok then it is 2.73:1 non posi, cuz my car was a 6er, ill change it in time, but i would rather do the engine first

 

High-rise intakes are more suited for engines with larger cams and high compression. Your 350 has smogger heads and the 76cc combustion chamber doesn't give much compression. Buy the torker if you want but it doesn't match the rest of your engine and your car will be a gas sucking dog. You want to run the high-rise then you need better heads , cam and carb to make one work.

 

ok well what kinda intake, with that 750 edelbrock... and cam... i want something with a nice cough huge cough lope

 

If you stick in a huge lopey cam in without raising you compression ratio, the car will suck tons af gas and tons of ***. A really lopey cam with say 240 deg duration needs minimun 9.5:1 compression ratio. Take a look at comp cams website,it has a guide as to what cams need...sort of engine pre-requisites.

Get some closed chamber heads(64cc) and then you can run a big chunky cam and a high rise.

 

-EDELBROCK Performer RPM heads, #6089, for SB Chev, c/w .100 longer harden push rods, only 100 mi on heads, pd $1800, sacr $1300 obo. (Sry)
