Thanks!

Has any one used the headers made hooker in there SBC swap? how did they fit? Ground clearance?

I tried them and they dont have the one I need. Anymore manufacturers you guys can think of? John

I have another set I could use(6" I-Beam) but I would like to complete this set as it is a balanced assembly. I checked C&A, no luck. Any other ideas? John

Hey fella's I'm hoping your varied knowledge will help me out! I have a rotating assembly with one bad rod. The rod is a Chev, 6" H-beam, 2" journal, with Arp 8740 bolts. It weighs 750-760 grams. It has no name on it but has the letters XB and the numbers 2617 on the side of the big end. I have been searching the web for the manufacturer with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas who might make it? If you can give me names of Rod manufacturers I can check them out. I have checked with Eagle, Carrillo, and Scat. Who else makes H-beam rods? Thanks for any help! John D.

Hi 77. First of all, buy a service manual!! Was this car running when you bought it? If not, you will want to make sure it has fresh fuel, and oil, filters and check water levels. Clean the battery terminals, and charge the battery. Check distributer cap for moisture. Replace the plugs. Check the engine for loose wires and bad vacuum lines. Do not skip these steps! Most problems are simple to repair and will be found doing these checks. Once this stuff is done,check for spark and check to see if the fuel pump is working. Pull the hose that comes off the fuel filter and see if you have fuel flow when the key is in the start position. Note: disconnect the starter solenoid and have someone turn the key. Be carefull here as lots of fuel will be flowing if its ok. Beware of fire!! That should get keep you busy for a while. John D.

Thanks for links! John

Any other setups being used? Im looking for options. Thanks

Hi fella,s I just got a t56 from a late model LS1 camaro. I plan to put it behind a destroked 400. What I am wondering is what are some of you running for Trany adapters? I was thinking of using a hydraulic T.O. brg.. What are you guys running? Thanks, John

check the fuel pressure under a load. See if it will maintain 40PSI. What is exhaust system?

Take a look at the sticky's. You will find your answer.

Okay, I'll bite. What the heck is a Tip Tronic?

The C-shaped brackets should be made of much heavier material than what is shown. The set-up pictured will eventually fail due to vibration. Otherwise a great install.

Thanks Grumpy!

Hey fella's, Will a cam have more duration with 1.6 ratio rockers than 1.5? I know the lift changes but what effect does this have on duration? Thanks, John

I hate to tell ya this but a good running SR20DET Is going to be just as fast and handle much better. Good luck with the swap.

If its not rusted up, run it!

Nice!

Good way to end up in the morgue. Road rage is for real!

Have you checked to see if it will float now? 8)

Yes!!

Portland/vancouver area.

Check for carbon tracks in the distributor. Also check your wires for crossfire. If all is ok there I would pull a rocker cover and check the valve travel on the affected cylinders. If you have a good sye you can watch the valve movement and see if you have a flat cam. If your eye isnt so good compare the valve travel between two similar valves.( 2 intakes, or 2 exhaust) Hope this helps.John

Hi Zippy ! You might want to check with DMV before you buy a chassis. In Oregon, if the vehicle is 74 or older you dont have to take it for a exhaust emissions test. I bought a 74 260z for just that reason. I can run any engine I want without having to jump thru expensive hoops to make it legal.

Put me down for 2.
