Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

[HandOverFist]

Pulling the motor isnt crazy Brent...it's so easy in these cars I don't even consider working on them in the bay.

Hey Brent I was wondering if you could tell me the specs on the solid cam you ran in your 455.

[brent flynn]

thanks alot Danny! hehe Did a hybrid... Chevy baseplate, Buick main body, Pontiac airhorn... Had help from Cliff Ruggles, to sort it all out... Had it on car today... little fat in primaries, but sounded good, otherwise... I believe it will outrun my current setup,when tuned. I have a '74 750 cfm, that i want to do next...i also have a '71 or '72 Corvette carb that i'd like to try, but it needs all the mods... my goal is to find the 'magic' low dollar deal... and try to do most of it myself... im learning more everyday...

When you come up to visit, I think we can accelerate your learning curve on the Quadrajet. Plan on staying a while though as I'm pretty long winded on that subject. LOL!. Danny

Mine is coming out in a couple weeks, or sooner... Just did another carb, and was wanting to fine tune it a bit, sounds good, just a little fat in the primaries...
Worked with Cliff Ruggles on this one... and hoping to use the knowledge that i picked up, to maybe do another, this year, after i get car dialed back in...

Wow...that's a STOUT figure at .050. LOVE to learn about hard running Pontiacs!

Its alot of cam, but it seemed to like it... Car left hard, and i doubt the 750 qjet was really giving the engine what it needed... Next time its in the car, i'd love to try a 950 on it...or a really good 800cfm qjet, that has been modded heavily to be more than 800cfm.

Put the 350 turbo up in the car today... Engine is ready to pull, but i wanted to get trans in first, to see how my driveshaft would be, if mine would work. I dont believe it will, as tthe trans is about 1/2'' or so shorter than the 400. How come nobody told me that i would need to notch the crossmember, to clear the deep aluminum pan? I hope to have engine out, and put new cam in it, by the weeks' end. All im waiting on is my lifters to come back from coating, and Im in business. And i have to build a driveshaft, im pretty sure. Should i go 3'' or 3 1/2''? I have 1350 joints and hardened Strange yoke.
