You could use either with the EFI setup.

You'll probably spend close to the same carbed vs. EFI, carbed is just a little easier to install. EFI is better for driveability.

Of course #-o I wasn't even paying attention to what was stuck in the valve cover :lol: The flash makes the discoloration around the intake look a bit worse than it is.

That's pretty dang sexy 8)

What I've been puttin' around with the past year. How is air supposed to even get past that thing?! I'll probably just put a flat-base air cleaner on it and plumb the PCV to that... I think I actually have one sitting up in Michigan. *edit/disclaimer* The extra wiring isn't all my...

Yeah... I forgot to update this thread, got a set of Speed Pros, should be around 9.6:1 with 64cc.

If both springs are replaced I can't say for sure. If it had the original springs I would just say it's just from age (how often do you drive your car without any passengers?).

Yes, it's next to the power connector with a coil-in-cap style setup.

Dreamed that I will be taking the '81 for a spin soon. I'm itching to drive something with some torque!

Have you checked for spring isolators? They can account for a change that small. I'd be leary about changing body mounts... they're not too difficult (just time consuming) if the floorpans/mounts are solid, but if it's rusty I would probably leave it be. Judging from your avatar it looks like...

Are you sure the cluster will fit? I've never tried it... factory G-Body tach wire is brown in the engine compartment, and white at the cluster.

Info on 500lb.ft. TBI-headed 383??? :shock: I buy the cam yet, so I'm open to suggestions :twisted:

I'm sure you're doing this as a budget build and won't spend near that much, but after the research I've done with tuning, looking at parts, etc, this seems like a pretty good price, includes everything for a drop-in setup besides fuel pump upgrade. People say TBI heads suck for power, finally...

Sweet 8) On eBay I've seen them from $10 to $30-$50 on average. Are they checking for all the other supporting pieces too?

See if he has 2 sets ;) I don't have the $ immediately available, but I'm currently searching the market for a set.

I'm keeping a watch on eBay, thirdgen.org, fullsizechevy.com, etc. for roller lifters, still haven't bought a spider, etc. for mine yet. From the looks of things you can probably get a set of used rollers, spider/lifter keepers, retainer plate (bolts to front of the block behind the timing...

Re: ls1 t56 regal project. They sell adapters on eBay as well.

Have you taken a look through the threads for the MR Father/Son project? They put a stock 4.8/4L60E in their 'Bu. I believe it fit without the engine cover, but it was tight. http://maliburacing.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34

There is a 'courtesy' fuse, it's for the horn, interior lights, lighter socket, etc.

Cigarette lighter wire. Most all GM cars use the same circuit for battery power to the radio, including newer ones.
