hey justin, how much boost do you plan to run and what output(hP) do you expect? EDIT: i dont know about that turbo, hy35 maybe too small for your killer eng! i think it would run out of breath at 5k rpms!

Sorry i dont know much about f-bodys but how much did you pick that smashed car for?

turbo LS1! watchout! keep on keepin on

quote from bjhines "The Type3 airdam was initially tested by simply bolting it on. Initially there was no attempt to seal the inlet to the radiator or the sides. It performed poorly in this configuration. We were so discouraged by the initial results we almost didnt blow it again. We were surpised that adding a little bit of a shelf between the radiator crossmember and the inlet of the airdam not only improved things, It actually transformed the entire car. We blew it again with even more tape sealing off even more of the area behind the airdam and things improved again! There is not much physical difference in what we did. A simple strip of foamboard and some extra tape on the sides COMPLETELY out of view turned the airdam from a total failure into a dream come true!." I'm running the type-3 air dam on my 280 and now that i have swaped in the v8 i have cooling problems, car is running stock raidiator with dual elect fans. temps are at 190-215 degrees with a 180 degree thermostat... I completely agree that air once past the air dam hits the face of the radiator and shoots down under the car, im in the process of building cardboard ducts to mask all the areas the air is escapeing... i belive it will cool the car down alot at speed, if it doesnt work i simply need a bigger radiator!! andrew

love it

lookin good!

Ya, the trans looks even lower!

ahh good to know... i figured the rings seat within the first heat cycle... my dad had me worried saying "thats blow-by and beacuse you arent letting the rings seat"

im starting to belive its blow-by, maybe the rings havnt seated yet?? probably 100 miles on the motor

Ya, its great to finally drive the car, big mistake on going th-350 trans better yet 4 IDF's! I really didnt think my 265/35X18 rear tire was going to hookup well with the v8 but it actually does.. finally happy sorta heh gotta ditch the th-350!!!! freeway is killing me wayyy too many RPM's at 65!! i think at 6k rpm my car does 100 mph maybe but im a good guesser, im having a couple problems maybe someone can resolve this: under full throttle at 4kish oil pukes past the seal on the valve cover breather and onto my passenger header. Now is this because the breather is a cheap pos which it is or is it even normal for oil to be pumped out like that? i am running a PCV valve on the drivers side valve cover and there is no baffle or any sort to stop the oil from spashing upthere? also i cant tighten the bottom bolt for the dang fuel block off plate, the motor mt. is in the way... might have to ditch the billet anno plate with the socket head cap hex screws and go to the chrome flat metal and hex scres since you can get the open ended wrench in there. thanks to all of you for your input its really a blessing andy

still sorting out trans and oil leaks but ill be able to drive it to MSA's show this sunday. heres some pic's notice my BLACK hands and clothes And yes its fast

fixed the problems, bad carb and vacume leak on booster line. put on the trustworthy carter afb and it ran great! I have a couple new problems, 1. my converter is WHINING pretty loud or at least it sounds like its coming from the trans or converter im not sure... 2. trans fluid is leaking out of what seems to be where the kick down cable goes into trans. 3.stock raidiator and my two elect fans might not be enough cooling. 4. fuel pump block off plate is driping oil and i cant get my allen wrench down there to tighten up the socket head cap screws....not enough room! 5. wish i wouldnt have got the 2k rpm converter, stock would have been nicer for drivin around town. 6.I need to bump up the rev limiter from the 4500rpm its been set at. bounceing off it fairly easy. 7.I think i need to goto a dual-plane intake manifold with this cam boy the car sure feels fast! and turns alot of heads, ive been drivin around town a little and with the hood off till i get the pins mounted. Ill make a vid soon Muahah andy

Finally started my 350 for the first time, kinda started right up actually. well had a small fire at first no biggie.. but ran, wouldnt rev past 2500 or so would BANG and POP out the exhaust and backfire thrugh the intake, then i advanced the dist. alot and it sorta ran good but was poping banging at higher id say 4k range.. cant figure if its ingnition or carb or both... so first i swaped the 4150 holly for the 4160 and i was running way lean i belive beacuse the headers were RED and GLOWING.. so i turned it off and will mess with it tommrow.. im going to put a edelbrock AVS carb on it tommrow to rule out that the holly carb has issues...also the starter bolts are too long or some ♥♥♥♥ and when i go to start it its grinding on the flywheel; meaning it moved...becase it was ok B4. so im going to swap the starter bolts first then get back to the tuning hopefully i can drive it tommrow night or so! also Gotta make it to msa on the 29th! crunch time andy

350-400hp is what im guning for with my build, i think anything over 400 hp for a street Z is a death wish haha I was able to fit 265/35-18 tire 18X9.5" +38 offset with a 1.5"adapter (35mm) i machined on the rear of my 280.. not sure yet how traction is going to be with practicly Zero sidewall...we'll see soon

1980 buick regal also has this feature

are you sure you dont have a manual valve body?
