heres a ****ty pic of what i'v got so far. Found out I need to get a diffrent set of pullys for the long style water pump but thats about all the trouble it's given us so far, well i need to get a longer kickdown cable but thats not a big issue either

cstm68 · 02-27-2008, 09:35 AM

wow.
what are the specs on the motor

straitnate14 · 02-27-2008, 10:07 AM

It's just a 290 crate motor.. I got a MSD boost timming controler to help with detination and it's only 8.5:1 so it's not going to be that big of an issue lots of the 3rd gen camaro guys are runing them but they have to put a 4" cowl hood on to fit a tinny air cleaner I got room for the stock one if I wanted lol

How much power do you expect from it? Its looking pretty potent.

You will enjoy.

I never get tired of seeing your truck Jim!

Straitnate14- your motor is lookin' good too!

. Does it have the stock cam? Keep us posted!

BurnoutNova · 02-29-2008, 11:09 AM

will the water pump pulley even fit on there with the blower belt so closr to the flange on the waterpump? maybe its just the angle the pic is at but it looks real close. or is it not a stock style pulley?

and you sure that stock fuel pump sitting there will be enough? i figure you'd need atleast a nice holley machanical pump if not a electric pump

straitnate14 · 03-01-2008, 08:07 AM

it's a carter 120gph 6.5psi fuel pump i called them they said that it would be fine, the water pump pully fit's it's just the angel i will post more pics tomarow when i get more work done

custom72c20 · 03-01-2008, 08:35 AM

straitnate14 · 03-04-2008, 11:03 AM

what do you think? sound good look good? the air cleaner grew on me what do you guys think?

**SactoJim** · 03-04-2008, 11:24 AM

Sounds great......course it's hard getting a true sound of it via a web recording. Your blower sound pretty quiet. When the blower is not being loaded (idle), do you get much gear lash noise? These blowers have straight cut gears and as idle they kinda rattle.....at least mine does, and it's a little older and I wonder it they've changed it on the newer blowers.

Mine also makes that "blower whine" sound when I'm on it which is actually the gears making the noise....gear drive sound.

Bet you can't wait to drive it.......or have you?

**SactoJim** · 03-04-2008, 11:29 AM

BTW.....here's my first spin in the parking lot with mine.

Imacarguytoo · 03-04-2008, 07:21 PM

Oh wow man that shounds killer!!! Sorry i didnt make it over this weekend. Maybe next. The motor looks great.

heavy71chevy · 03-04-2008, 08:22 PM

greasy68 · 03-04-2008, 10:25 PM
