No One else tried this?

Before you buy anything, be sure to price out all the machine work etc.. don't go buying a comp engine, only to discard almost everything and then spend big bucks to get the block straighted out...(and that's if all is well) Before you know it, you'll be within a few hundred bucks of all new... just...

What's the scoop on the super-sucker style adapter plated for 4500 to 4150 intake? Worth while or just use the funnel style adapter?

I'd like to try one, where is a good source for this style adapter?

thanks
mike

keep an eye on ebay..and check with a few of the SB2.2 guys on there...they have enough used/new sb2 parts to make just about anything...

might be able to find a set through on of these guys..

just a thought

mike

Any update on this info/test?

so when do you use the 4500...?

at what hp/rpm... ?? some kind of rule of thumb?

any down side to the 4500? or is it better to stay with the 4150 unless absolute necessary??

All things being equal, does a dominator style carb have have any kind of advantage if same cfm.

That is to say will a 1000cfm 4500 make any more power then a 1000cfm 4150 (1000 cfm just piced as example)


And is there a difference in metering blocks from one to the other?

thanks

How much are a set of ultra light pistons vs. a set of cast? How much is a sheet metal intake manifold vs. a cast intake? Weber Power Plates are a great value. You get what you pay for with them. Wanna make more average power over a broader rpm range than Holley stuff? What's that worth if you race...

Went through that entire thread. Lots of babbling about fuel "exploding" under rings but no science. Most of them claim "rich condition started problem, then symptoms show up after I leaned it." Uh huh. Babbling?? I've found a wealth of information and tons of help with guys tha...

GO HERE........search & learn all you can

There are some VERY knowledgable people on there. look under the Nitrous section...

Buy a decent set of single adjustable shocks from strange etc. (just leave the coil off), You will then be able to control your suspension movement and "hit". You wont regret it!

I don't know, but did you ever wonder how they were able to run that "test" engine (sbc) at the car showes with NO oil pan?

I mean really.......wow

still cant figure out just how those hydraulic lifter ever worked without oil

Makes ya' wonder just how stock that engine was

No prize yet, and a half a atta boy, but its still skippin at shift points and high rpm , so dont celebrate just yet. TPS and fuel pressure and timing change changes made it slightly less pronounced. BUT its there alive and kicking. I am looking to shim those valves springs You didn't replace it, b...

Anyhow, thats the news for today..

Do I get a prize???

mike

I would try replacing the TPS sensor

Had similar problems and this fixed it...it wouldn't adjust the fuel fast enough or at all in certain "zones" on the sensor.

let us know what you find.
