Everything turned out great the bird runs like a champ!! :tg: The difference from the HO cam and E7's to the TFS#1 cam and the Edelbrock 6037's is freaking crazy...
I'm going to take some video of it tomorrow... I'll try and host it on my webspace...
Big thanks out to Nick ;) thanks for the phone support buddy :D ..
Here's a couple of pics I have laying around
more pics
some more..
I still got some silly to do like finish painting the gray under the hood near the wipers, neaten up a couple of wires, and nice wash and wax :)
man my old setup was nasty looking... glad to get rid of the gray finally... only took about 8 years for me to paint it :giggle:
dyno/track time! :D
yeah bob, track time. when i get the bird back on the street we can take a trip to atco.
Looks good Bob, you're gonna have a blast..
Now you know how a real motor runs... :D
glad to see you got it together... ;)
a few questions ..
1 did you get rid of that stock intake hose yet??
2 you still useing the stock fuel pressure regulator? check the fuel pressure..
3 what did you set the base timming at?
let me know
Nick
oh and *EDIT!!* :rollin: look at that belly!!! it's allmost as big as mine :rollin: :crazy:
Funny you said that cause I thought that when I was out driving it last night. I've been missing out on this for years...
Yeah dude I'm in I got some stuff to do first... First I need to get tires ASAP!! , than I need to practice driving this bad boy..
Yo Nick, I tried to call you last night you seem to be having some phone problems :giggle:
I need to put my gauge back on the fuel rails for fuel pressure I think its at 40psi, I gapped the plugs at .45 is that ok?, Timing is at 14-15* and what intake hose should I buy? I'll order that today..
Hmm...I do see some similarities now that you mention it:
HHAHAH thats from Quiting smoking 5 months ago, I noticed that when I posted the pics... LOL I gotta start working out some to burn that off.. Wife says she likes it :bs: but I think she's just being nice
why my phone is'nt working i have'nt a clue i just payed the bill but i was'nt over my limit go figure... try giving me a call in an hour or two..
anyway.. plug gap is fine.. you did get 3924's right?
timming.. stay at 14*
get your self a cold air package to fit with a mass air setup.. or at least get rid of that carppy a$$ rubber elbow..and replace it with something metal..

Nick
yep :)
I'll give you a call around lunchtime
Hey Nick, yeah...thought you'd like the Grumpy1. ;) That was from Karl's photos of Cat Jam from 2004.
Jay's family is doing fine, thank you much. They accepted things even before he passed on, so I think that's been helping them quite a bit mentally.
Sorry for the hijack Bob! Engine bay looks great. I hope you enjoy the new-found power. :bowdown:
no problem Eric, glad to hear Jays family is doing well. Like Nick I didn't forget either, everytime I see a truck like your Buddy Jay's I think of the cotm you did for him ;) and what a nice tribute that was... :)
Thanks, its getting there, I'm going to dress it up some now.. with a bbk cold air kit, the hose kit and I guess I'll go with new valve covers.. Any ideas to replace the cobra plate is welcome. I love what you did with yours :bowdown:
holly cow, that looks great bob :bowdown: I was instantly inspired by you when you said
"ill have to practice driving this thing"
that in itself says a lot!!!!!!! when you have to practice driving a car your familiar with,, you must have something rewarding under the hood.
good job and clean work man!!!
I mean as far as luanching it with the 5speed for the track. I have yet to take the time to learn how to properly feather the clutch and get the most out of my traction. Not to meantion burnouts... I have alot to learn...
looks great bob!
as for driving a 5-speed at the track, i know what you mean, i cant launch this TC to save my life
