I remember my first ride in a V8 Z, some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Next to s#*, a ride in a V8 Z is best.

You might want to check with the great TurboMeister on this board. He got his Z with the 9--inch already installed, but he has pics, it is a nice setup. It obviously hooks pretty well, checkk his times. Good luck on your install.

Yo, check out your local Autozone, they have the required mounts, $7.99 each, part number 2282. I have done 3 swaps using the JTR kit and these mounts, no problems as of yet. Good Luck!

Yo, Iwas wondering if you vanished or what. Any progress on the BBZ? If so, post some pics, so the dreamers like myself can drool a little more.

"search" not to be rude but this question has been answered numerous times. Your swap idea is fgairly simple, go 4 it! Good Luck!!!

Why not a 2 bolt? A 2 bolt can be made stronger than a 4 bolt if you add slayed main caps. A 2 bolt is generally good for up to 500 hp in most cases. Besides, the 2 bolt should plenty strong enough for the combo BillZ260 has planned. Good luck BillZ260!

I'm sure this is probably a stupid question, but did you replace the timing chain/gears or pushrods? Are you sure the cam gears were installed "dot to dot" at TDC? I'm not trying to qiestion your work on the Z, I'm just trying to help. If I were a betting man, I would say it is valve train related. Maybe a broken rocker arm? It could be a binding valve, altough I doubt it with those new Dart heads. Anyway, good luck.

I once had a '78 TransAm that had the backfire through the carb thing. The previous owner had installed a new mild cam, headers, intake, carb, etc. Well, I played with timing, changed the distributor, plugs, wires, carb, intake gaskets, etc. To no avail. An old timer I was talking with said, "you got some flat lobes on ur cam boy". No way, I thought the cam is new.......... well I pulled the cam , and sure enough there were two flat lobes. I guess the cam was not broken in properly. Anyway, I'm not saying this is your problem, I just thought I would share the experience with you. Good luck on getting it solved.

good one silicone boy......... Have to start pushing the Double D upgrades over the standard C cup models. Need the extra fees to pay off the Z. Well, you know what they say....there's no replacement for displacement! 9 Hours Ago 11:09 PM

I'm glad to see your cage passed certification. Maybe you can post some pics when you get a chance. Good Luck on getting the Z back together.

I was getting ready to ask about an update. But you beat me to the punch, glad to hear of the progress. Again, make sure to pick up a bulk pack of underwear for the first ride! Good Luck!

Cage install is looking good. Keep up the good work!

Very nice Z project you have! I actually live in Arvada, and I would really like to see your Z when running. I would also like to pm you with a couple of questions if you don't mind. Anyway, good luck on your Z.

It's nice to see you posting again. How is the cage coming along? Post some pics if you get a chance, us wanna-bes would like to see the progress. Happy Holidays to you!

It looks like you have a really nice donor car, I wish I was so lucky. Take your time and Good Luck on your LS1 Z!

Yo, you might want to check out this site, they have lots of low-budget turbo SBF stuff. http://www.toohighpsi.com Good Luck!

Glad to see the pics, the cage looks great! Those 9.50's are just around the corner.

Pete, good luck on the rebuild, I'm sorry to hear about your wacked-out cylinders.

Yo, IMO points suck. Go to a good salvage yard and get a HEI distributor, they are pretty cheap. It is hard to beat an HEI for a mild street driven combo. Good Luck!

but, my best guess-timate, based upon my meager experience, would be about 325 HP. Ditch the GM intake if you can, and get an edlebrock performer at least. You could probably find a good deal on ebay. Good Luck!

There is nothing like that first fire up, then the first drive...............

Do you have a link to any pics of the headers by any chance?

You might want to check out this link, http://www.jason.fletcher.net/tech/sherman/sherman.htm Sounds like a nice engine combo to me.

Yo, check edelbrock, they make manifolds that will work for your application.

I once had a 307 with 882 heads with 1.94/1.50 valves, altough it was stock it was a fairly good motor. A friend of mine had a 76' Camaro with 307, th350 trans, 10 inch 3500 stall converter. The 307 had a comp cams 292H magnum cam, 10 to 1 flat top pistons, a torker intake, (I think), 750 dp holley, stock HEI distributor, stock camel-hump 2.02 heads. The car had 4.56 gears, it ran mid to low 13's. In my opinion the 307 is a much better motor than a 305. If this is what you have, and you want to stay low budget, I say go for it! If I were you, I would build the 307 with your 882 heads with bowl porting and gasket matching, maybe an edelbrock rpm air-gap intake, 650 dp carb, 1 5/8 headers, comp cams XE268 cam, HEI distributor. Anyway, good luck in your 307 quest.
