    Chevy 305 piston differences ??

    Hey everyone.... I just recently swapped my 305 for a 350 +.040 with summit heads. I plan on doing a mild rebuild on my original 305 just for fun and to have as a spare. While shopping around, I noticed some sale listings state pistons for 87 and up engines. My 305 is an LG4 with dished pistons...

    993 SBC head question

    Thanks Yav8. Thats what I thought. Just strange to me how these heads had self aligning rockers and extended valve tips. Anyone know If I still need the o-rings with positive stop seals ?

    993 SBC head question

    Hello everyone .... Got a question for all the SBC engine guys. I am building a 350 + .040. I came across a pair of 993 heads that I am looking to use for the build. I noticed that the rocker arms are self aligning and also have the narrow pushrod holes. I also have a set of Comp Cams Magnum...

    My C5 front brake upgrade

    HI saw this tread and am planning on switching over to that Master cylinder. I plan on doing the dual piston Blazer brake upgrade. I`d like to know how the pedal feels. Is it firmer or a little on the soft side ?

    Ramjet 350 MEFI 4 on TPI...possible ?

    Hello everyone ... came across an 85 TPI manifold setup. ( uses conventional 90 degree intake bolt pattern). I was wondering if the Ramjet 350 MEFI4 harness and ECM can be made to work with the TPI. I will be using a stock 89 L98 cam (049) and my block is bored .040. Has anyone done this...

    283 instead of a 305?

    if you swap all the emission stuff from the 305, you can even disguise a hopped up 283 as a 305 easily.

    283 instead of a 305?

    Back in the day, I swapped out my 267 in my 79 Malibu for a 283. I ran it with a Performer plus cam ( 2102), Performer intake with 600 Holley (1850-3) and 305 heads (416). It was a very decent street car. What I loved about it was that it loved to rev to 6K without sweating. It was a nice...

    L98 cam with mechanical fuel pump... need some tips

    I know about those... I am just wondering if it is mandatory to use the brass tipped one. Some have mention using the regular one with OEM cams.

    L98 cam with mechanical fuel pump... need some tips

    Hey guys ... my 305 took a dive, and I scored on a bare 350 block for almost nothing. It`s a 638 2 bolt casting with roller cam and fuel pump provisions. Here`s my dilemma. This is the 1st time I am building a roller cam SBC. I came up on an 89 L98 cam ( from an Iroc Z ). To my surprise,it has...

    Factory exhaust manifolds

    Clutch ... I used to have a NY state inspection licence years ago before I moved here to CA. I know what you mean ... My G body`s I had in the past were cool with passing because of age. We were not as stringent then ... just safety and if it passed the "sniffer" it was cool regardless. Here in...

    Factory exhaust manifolds

    Hey Boss.... I was looking at the pictures of the exhaust manifolds you have. I noticed that that there is an o2 sensor on it. What year car are they from ? ... My 79 El camino had no ECM. I am assuming that my car is a Federal emission car that does not need a feedback carb and 02 sensor ...
