has anyone ever tested this? because i am doing a similar setup but with only the su intake and j30 throttlebodys have to find room for injectors before the flange, and removing this would help. Thanks for any answers givin. Thomas Gribble

This is awsome, I came up with an idea similar to this one last friday at applebees. I started looking to see if someone has done something similar and here i am, and better idea then my idea I might add. Im glad someone is doing it so i can find out how it works out, very clean set up xnke. I might do something similar to this instead of weld in injector bungs and hope for the best. Good work, and i hope you figure out your problems and get this thing running, id love to see a video of you driving it and mashing on it. Your idle in that one video sounded cool. Thomas Gribble

I dont know about the whole snap on is ment for hundreds of hours of use per month, all we use at my work is snap on and their taps are over priced junk, id rather use a carbide tap then a hhs only real problem you could face with carbide is droping it, or getting a feed wrong in a mill or lathe but seeing as you would be doing this by hand you shouldnt have a problem if you do it by hand. the only good thing about snap on is once you buy it you can get it replaced by snap on for free as long as it says snap on.

may i ask what your rough angle is from your throttle body to port 1(cylender one) this is similar to me and my roommates plans for my intake. Thomas Gribble

they look nice but look kinda small no offence, but very beautiful car :]

yea the 283 chevy my bad i got confused for a minute. would it be worth it for a runner for the car? 800 bucks for a running motor?

hey grumpyvette, would an unknown spec running 289 freshly rebuilt be worth 800 bucks? like i said unknown specs but it was built for a ss malibu, and it apparetly "hauls" in the malibu. wasnt engine dynoed or anything just seat of the pants tested. But the guy said 800 bucks for everything but the intake and carb. i asked my friend to askem what the actual specs are and he could take me overthere to talk to him in person. What do you think?

doesnt look twisted enogh to be a twin screw so im thinking its a roots should be 3 blades or w/e on each side if it was twin screw itd be like 5 on 3 if i remember right or some wierd set up. i hurd roots have a tendency for the manifold presure to get to high and it starts leaking backwards threw the blower, but i think if it uses that teflon strips it doesnt let the manifold pressure back out of the blower when it becomes to great but im not sure. I not a genious and such, just going off random stuff i learn from my work and internet reading, ya know? should stll be a good fun to run set up. I was personaly thinking about doing a set up similar but i didnt want to owe my boss money for a blower and all that jazz and knowing my luck id end up wraping my 240 around a light pole or something.

what kinda supercharger is it? looks like some type of variation of a whipple but we dont use teflon strips as a sealer. Is it a roots style or a twin screw? i honostly cant see much from your pics, im not a "master" about it or nothign or wanna come off as one, but id say have a certified person rebuild it, new bearing teflon strips, and gears, but you prolly already know that much. while its appart you could probably get it polished or powdercoated whatever your poisen is. edit; does it say b&m on there? and looks like a roots style to me

hey Grumpyvette I took forever to actually get it done but i finaly pulled the motor appart mostly looks like a simple rehone and new pistons will make it good but my co workers telling me to go .0030 just to have it .0030 over, what is your opinion on this? I was also relooking at cams and i was wondering would this cam me a little beefier they stock ,CCA-CL12-224-4, i was going to have the motor carbed and was thinking about a single plane intake with a 800 or a 825 (i think it was 825) cfm carb. Also, would that be a big enough carb for that cam? i know thats alot of questions with not alot of info, the car will be used for daily use im not really going to worry about gas mialage i mean hey, it's a 350. The car will also be used for crusing and what not. thanks for any and all advice you give me. Thomas Gribble

I think you have to build your own custom mounts for a ls1 but im not 100% sure on that ya know? The ls1 forums the gen 3/4 forum, they could most likely help you better then here

Is that 2 glasspacks on there? How does that sound? i was thinking about doing just a set of 23 inch purple hornys and no muffs. Hows your setup sound?

darn thats depressing, not really woulda been cool to use a ls1 type intake they look soo cool but i dont have the money for a ls1 haha. It helps, as i always tell Grumpy when i ask him weird questions. My job is extreamly boring and so is my life so all i do is think think think. Then before i know it im thinking of ideas that end up not workable or so you know what i mean? Thomas ps thanks again for the help

Theres a guy in the gen III and IV chevys putting a ls1 intake on a block with vortec heads i think and i was wondering if i use vortecs could i use a ls1 tpi intake or am i understanding it wrong? do they have the same bolt pattern or whatever? or am i totally off my rocker in thinking this? I like the way the ls 1 intakes look better then the tpi ones, and i just thought of something while typing this. If my blocks a 80-84 block can i still use vortec style heads and tpi manifold if i cant use a ls1 intake? Does what im asking make sence? Thomas

yea i thought about that. Half the people i know are like "you dont need to spend that much on heads" im like.... stock heads dont flow good past like .420 lift i hurd. I dont know about stock vortecs tho, i will probably end up getting heads like those tho.
