Guest FBody Addict Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 if i use the stock manifold from my 305, will i need larger injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 tuneport? get a computer for a 350 the injectors should be the same. for engine specs I would go get a factory service book for a 96 truck and use the specs out of it.

Guest FBody Addict Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 didnt make a TPI 350 in 86 except for corvettes, (hard to find in junkyards) would that comp work or should i pull one from like an 87 IROC or other, even though the MAF sensor and a few others are different know a good inexpensive machine shop to do heads and head to block surface? im gonna hone the cylinders myself [ 26.

Dave1647545494 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 does the motor in your car right now have TPI? if it does.... you can bolt it right on the 350 and chip it or if its going to be stock get a 350 computer. good and inexpensive are two words that never go with machine shop in the same sentnece. you get what you pay for. heres what you can do yourself to save money check the block deck and head surfaces yourself with a metal straightedge and a feeler guage if its flat leave it alone you get into intake manifold fitment problems when you mill the block surface. your going to want to get the bottom end balanced if your going to spin it over 5k. you should also get the crank and rod journals polished, champhered and crossdrilled to improve oil flow. don't ask other people about machine shops walk into a few and ask questions work with the shop you feel comftorble with.

Wasn't the 350 in the 96 GM trucks a Vortec motor? I think it was. If so, I think that requires the use of a Vortec intake manifold. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Dave1647545494 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 centerbolt valve cover heads all use the same manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy1647545504 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Originally posted by GAS,GRASS OR ASS: centerbolt valve cover heads all use the same manifold Thank you. I thought it had something to do with the alignment of the intake ports in the head as compared to the manifold. The Vortec head being different from other GM designs. Guess not, huh?

Guest FBody Addict Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 not a vortech, just a throttle body injection, but someone told me my manifold wont bolt to the 96 block and heads without some work due to bolts angled differently, my block is 4 corner bolt valve covers, not centerbolt, will that create other problems? also, what size are the intake and exhaust valves?

Dave1647545494 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 if you have the old style perimiter bolt valve cover heads your intake manifold won't work at all on the new motor. you either need a tpi or a throttle-body manifold from a later model car/truck. centerbolt heads flow better than the ones on your car now but if your trying to go fast ditch um and buy a good set of aluminum heads. you'll save money buying good heads vs porting the stockers and you'll get more bang for the buck.

Guest FBody Addict Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 what about a larger aftermarket manifold from TPIS? and larger runners, and a larger (58mm)throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 anything that improves intake flow is usefull without the right heads and good flow on the exhuast side gains will be minimal at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FBody Addict Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 what was the webpage with the 4 valve bolt on heads? the one someone (i believe you did) mentioned in the kitchen in the pushrod engines, what are you thinking thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
