Holley 650 CFM carb... $110 included rebuild kit and a older style edelbrock performer intake (4 barrel). Will be selling the intake for probably $50ish.
Motor mounts....................$20
Total to date:....................$6,583
Up coming costs: Distributor - will likely go MSD pontiac ready-to-run for $350ish. Comes with coil. Also will need MSD ignition, either a used 6AL-2 or 6 series digital, 100-200 respectively. After that need headers, at which point I will decide if I will run edelbrock aluminum heads (will flow 330 CFM for $2300 from kaufman racing) or stay with my current heads that flow about 210 cfm but for $600 in porting could flow 250cfm or so. Headers will be 200-400 depending on what i get.

Just bought my motor mounts. $20 for em. So I might be able to get that fudgeer in next weekend doges!
Nick, i know i asked you before, but when you swapped your engine, did you pull the trans? I think I am supposed to put the torque converter on the engine and then slide it into the trans... but im not positive. |

I think the tran was there and we mounted the engine right up to it. |
Chad
| | #169 posted March 22, 2009 at 12:37pm (EST) |
so did you have the torque converter on the trans or on the engine? |

K, the painting made me laugh out loud big time.
But did you seriously drop a baby blue block in your car, or is that a joke of some sort? |
Chad
| | #172 posted June 7, 2009 at 12:32am (EST) |
it was silver, but that is the correct color so i figured some doges would prefer that down the rode if i go to sell it. |
Nick

The only thing that makes me envious of the bigger full frame cars is the room in the engine bay. I have a hard enough time pulling the plugs on my 302 based stroker in my 65 Mustang, and the small block ford is one of the smallest dimensionally V8's there are.
Some people are like slinkies. Serve absolutely no point in life, but put a smile on your face when you push them down the stairs.

the pontiac engines are just a bit too big to have engine compartment be big enough. a sbc would fit in there like a dream. id hate to work with a big block though, that would be tight. |

Although, I'm kind of ready for some of the cooler weather, the rain can go fudge itself. |

I just went and looked at the head off of my Jeep engine.
