    Allow me to reintroduce myself (78 Elco slow father/son project)

    I was a member ~10 yrs ago. Had(still have) an 81 Cutlass Supreme and 78 Camino. Unfortunately around 2015 an acquaintance and his meth head friends stopped by and stole all my tools, wheels off the Cutty, ransacked the Camino, took everything I'd had to rebuild engine and trans, and stole my...

    Need throttle, TV, cruise cable suggestions

    I have a 79 Malibu. I am installing a 350 with Vortec heads, cruise, and FAST EZ-EFI injection system. That means I need a bracket for three cables. I made one for two cables before I remembered cruise. Since I think I have to start over, does anyone have a suggestion? Something...

    I've got an '86 Cutlass Supreme with a junkyard 1987 307 (because I threw a rod in the og 307) and this engine isn't far from death. I'm thinking of doing a junkyard Vortec swap to it and I am not very knowledgeable with engine swaps this big. Anybody got any tips? Also, what kind of Vortec...

    What motor should I go with?

    So I am still searching for a G body SS Monte Carlo but I am having trouble trying to decide what motor should I go about putting in it as well as trans. My original idea was to just get a 350 and swap the heads and can so I can still have a decent amount of power, because I highly doubt that...

    350 vortec swap in my monte carlo aerocoupe

    Hi everyone, I picked up my 87 aerocoupe from a friends back yard a few months ago, and put new battery belts etc on it. Long story short the engine is seized and I'm looking for a 350 4 bolt for it. I found a 350 vortec block, and was wondering if there was any difference between the regular...

    Build Your Own Ram Jet 350

    I was just reading about a fellow that had built many 87-02 Vortec-based 350s. He likes the RJ350 cam , GM #14097395. Here is where that cam is used. I have collected the parts to build my own Ram Jet, and I spent under $3000. I think the top end, wire harness, and ECU are still for sale...

    Recipe for a DIY ZZ1-ZZ4 350 (up to 355 HP)

    Here is another parts list to build up your own GM crate engine for less that crate prices. I know the market is moving towards the LS as the new 350, but there are plenty of us out there who are more than happy with an old-school 350 under the hood. And if you are on a budget, notice how the...

    Recipe for a 300 HP 350
