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

69Chevy3/4ton · 02-27-2008, 10:13 AM

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

pyro883 · 02-27-2008, 05:38 PM

Sweet, I never get tired of seeing blown motors....Anyone see the 402 blown before?

mbgmike · 02-27-2008, 06:25 PM

Heres one of my friends street car.

straitnate14 · 02-28-2008, 06:21 AM

AH i hate waiting for parts... waiting on my pullys, carb, and msd boost controler.
SactoJim: what are you running for plugs? i know i need to get colder plugs but should i just go down a heat range? or more ?

BurnoutNova · 02-28-2008, 06:24 AM

thats an odd looking carb, or maybe its just me. what is it? a holley spreadbore???

nice looking motor btw, i really like those valvecovers i had some on my 350 for a while, but needed to run a pcv valve and didnt want to drill a hole in them

Imacarguytoo · 02-28-2008, 06:40 AM

I love those valve covers. What kinda power are you shooting for? What year is your truck?

straitnate14 · 02-29-2008, 05:51 AM

burnoutnova nice eyes on the carb it is indeed a spread boar we had it laying around and were waiting for my new carb so we stuck it on there for ****s and giggles oh and the hole was done by my the PO my brother but i'm happy he did they look perfect and will look even better when i repaint them heres what the nice ups man brought me today and tomarow he will bring me more i should give him a tip he comes to my house like a mail man

tomarow i will get my duel feed line for my carb, 30Ft of stainless tubbing, my kickdown cable, long water pump pullys, and my new air cleaner

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

That is one nice motor!!! Post up some pics and a vid of you smoking the tires when your done.

straitnate14 · 03-01-2008, 10:04 AM

**SactoJim** · 03-01-2008, 10:19 AM

straitnate14 · 03-03-2008, 09:39 AM

straitnate14 · 03-04-2008, 10:05 AM

the ugly 19year old with no life in the truck is me

straitnate14 · 03-04-2008, 10:21 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.
