Well,the car has the subframe in.Got screwed on the paint and intake,won't be here till next week.Car is still on the lift on won't come off till it's running........

At least your making progress, albeit probably slower than you want to.

Time is money!!!

It friggin sucks waiting.I've had a few open days which the car could of been driving by now...

I want it done to hit ATCO...

wen are you going to ATCO!?!?! ill head down with you if possible.

A few pics

a c5r 427 block with et heads?

Can I get a ride?

Yeah I am surprised by the ETP heads, did you do the porting on them? I've heard alot of mixed things about them. I do see you got the good truck coils for it though......

The ETP heads are one of the best heads out there from all the testing we did.They worked better than TFS and AFR's.The problem with them was the valve springs were weak so we just changed them the a better dual.Another bad part is they went under too.

These got fully hand ported by Rich at WCCH.They were 225 heads and now are at 235cc running 2.125" intake valves.Springs are the new TSP .700 lift shimmed for my .640" lift Cam.

Hopefully my Edelbrok Super Victor intake shows up so I can port match that and get this motor back in the car.

Looking very nice Don!

so don what you going to do for a hood or did you figure out some super low elbow to make it work.

Looks good with all those doodads and shiney things lol so I heard that was my motor :) early xmas present lol

I know flow wise they rock and make good power, just know a few people who have had problems with them, I would guess you probably know more about massaging them then they did. I know 2 people that had problems fitting an intake manifold to them (unmilled), but that was a few years ago, maybe it's been fixed.

Edelbrock makes an elbow that will clear the bird hood, I'm guessing he got that or something similar

i dont think he uses the Edelbrock Elbow. i think he sed and DOnt quote me but he sed someone picked up a ton of power using a sheetmetal elbow over the swedged down edelbrock one??

i would love to see how a stock cube heads mild cam (228-236) car would work with that intake who knows may be the fast is just a big money pit

Hey Old Guy!!! Yes You DON!!! ATCO!!!???

Keep believing that.....that intake is great for a big cube engine, the Victor is just too big for a 346 unless you have a ridiculous race only cam. It's like putting a 103MM Fast on.

I was thinking more on the lines of a vic JR I know the supper vic is way to big unless you where to be spinning the thing to 8500

I have the Edelbrok elbow here as a paper weight. Tried it on a 408 car the the Victor junior.Had problems wit hthe car making power.Switch to a sheetmetal elbow and picked up 100rwhp!!!!! That is not a misprint,Couldn't believe it my myself...

Edelbrok Elbow= CRAP.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Need my car done first.

Screw the hood,it's getting cut if needed.

if that's the case y not just go with a 4brl throttle body and a carb hat for the street then pull it at the track ?

even the Vic JR is pretty beefy for a 346, the FAST will crush it on the low end

Road trip!!!

Because you have to take out the wipers and cut the lower window cowl wide open.

I agree but if you running a stalled auto the Vic junior might give better ET's.

I'm running the Victor because the low end loss doesn't matter since the engine will be singing 5800-7000rpm at the track.

So basically it all depends on the application of the engine to denote what intake to use. and would you recomend it for a 346 street/strip would be the next question? im asking because i also want to use one on my motor. BUT you dont have the experience with the LT's so i ask about the LS instead haha

it would depend on how radical the h/c is Mike avg h/c a fast is plenty but for a more wild set up the carb is better. carb setup is made for a higher rpm powerband and less down low. However I really don't think the stock lt1 intake is that bad atleast until the 550+ range.

See and thats why i dont want to change it!! haha i just want to find the bottle necks. theres no need for that thing to fall on its face at 5500 like it does! Sorry for the Highjack Don!!

Very true, should have prefaced it with "A street car", vic JR would be good in a big cam high stall race application where low end isn't a necessity

Someday I'll take the time and actually test back - back a FAST against a Carb intake while the car sit's on the dyno.Would like to see what it does on a 346ci.

I've seen it with the GMPP intake and FAST 90 once, the GMPP intake made about 15 more up top with an 850, but the FAST had a better curve and Average power, not sure how they would have been against each other at the track. I am also willing to bet the FAST is alot more efficient in a street or street/strip application, But I do love the feeling of big secondaries opening up on a 4 BBl :)

But if you use a 90 degree elbow that works as a runner which can promote midrange power.

too bad the dam pro flow is only use full in trucks and swaps what the hell where they thinking when they made that thing if they made it a bit shorter there sales would go up 10 fold.

I love carbs. Don't care if they are less efficient!!!!

The Pro Flow looks good but from what I've told it's not very great on the power department.

probably due to the runners being so long the thing chokes on the top end sort of like the TPI cars. i wonder if some one chopped an inch or two out of the runners weld it back up and port match the runners back together if it would work. I would think it should pull a bit better sort of like a sheet metal intake with smaller ports.

Engine bay is done,tranny is here and still waiting on the intake.... Should have it done by next summer...

LOL, I know that feeling.....
