We had a similar problem on an aftermarket tbi set up the air cleaner we had is what was recomended but it would stumble at idle we just changed it out for a little bit bigger one for the sake of diagnosing the problem amd it completley fixed it. But it wasn't with a kn airfilter just a stp...

Well let me put it this way, I've built motors that aren't 500+ hp. Just your normal vortec headed screamer... and an airfilter never made a difference on any of my motors.

Yea 416 305 heads and a 350= fun. I had this as an original combo with a mild unknown cam and a 600cfm carb performer intake shorty headers full exhaust with 3.73s and WOW. Thing would tear it up. Ran on 87 but I always put 93 in it. I could only imagine if I put like an xe262 with smallish...

and hundred bucks isn't bad if it's a short block you can get the crank re finished as well as the rods and have new piston's fitted on.. I've given away 350s before I would have given you one of mine haha, the thing is old guys think this stuff is worth 300-400 bucks and still think the double...

The bore of a a 305 is like 3.76? and a 350s is 4.00 I can't remember and the stroke is 3.48.. the stroke is the only thing that is shared between the motors. But even though the stroke is the same the cranks are diff. You can't bore a 305 that far just because of the obvious reasons. If the...

So, in the past 5 months I have sold my el camino after owning it for 7 years and receiving it for Christmas when I was a whole 12 years old. Literally 4 days after my last post here it was sold and I was moving from my house 2 weeks later! I now have my own place, and a new job at a bank great...

I use the 20w-50 VR1 with a lucas oil break in addititive. Works fine for me in all months of the year and I'm in va.

This is the second engine in a year and 7 months haha. I started because I wanted more power, than I decided I needed more! haha.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm just using a stock replacement from Summitracing.

Re: Rebuilding my vortec 355 carnage inside Well I decided to put my long block together and get her painted up. I'm trying go for the stock appering engine look even though these cars didn't have orange engine paint in these years that I know of I painted the valve covers orange also. I also...

Re: my malibu project What's the drivetrain consist of?

Screw the monte, get this and start your SBC of your choice with a t56 and some 3.73s do all the suspension etc. Paint wheels and this thing would be bad *ss!

My el camino has 360,000 miles I'm the third owner and it's had 4 different engines over the years. There is no rust anywhere by the time I bought the suspension had been all re-done and the original 229 pulled for a 350. That motor was strong it had 416 305 heads and then i bought aintake carb...

Where is the rallys at that are in your sig? I have a soft spot for rallys haha.

Yea, but hopefully you take care of it. It might run good but you don't know what the inside looks like (maybe you do?) Just be easy use a good oil with a high zinc content and save up money for a good rebuild. It doesn't have to wild just a nice stock rebuild and you'll have a motor that you...

Congrats dude, you've had a lot of bad luck. Glad to see you finally got something good out of this past couple of months.

I agree, glasspacks suck. IMO I hated flowmasters too but decided to get some super 40s for my car and I don't hear the drone that everyone complains about..

HAHAHAHAHHA!
