I was browsing through some of the cars in the sticky at the top of this section, but I havent had much luck finding photos of carbed 4th gen lsx cars. I am in the process of swapping an Lq4 into my 95z and I wanted to get an idea of where guys are mounting things/ clearance and etc...

Thanks!

I know you'll have to cut the cowl and a Cowl Hood is more likely needed.




Here is the thread this guy is on, a carb may sit a little higher but can be done

Yea, that pic above is about right, but will be slightly higher with the carb.

I am running the Glasstek hood....I should have adequate clearance right?



(and no, my fender is not screwed up lol, the bumper cover is just loosely fit)

I am sure that would be enough.

Super clean swap man, what kind of RPM will you be turning?

ATwelveSec02Z28

iTrader: (17)

probably around 7500.. or Valve float - 100rpm

Small cubes, and too much nitrous

My car has a carb on it but I don't have any pics on this computer of it. I just cut the center section of the cowl but since I have the motor out of the car now, I'm cutting the entire piece like ATwelveSec02Z28 did

I have a cary/mast intake and I'm looking at going with a pro-systems carb and single plate setup.

Based on what I see in this thread, I have to cut back to the windshield to make it work. So much for keeping wipers I suppose.


I have also heard that the carb will need to be turned sideways since the intake and plate are so tall.

Anyone running this setup and have pics?

Mine is a Super Victor - Carys intake is a good bit taller.

You have a couple options - You can cut to the windshield, mount engine in stock location, and turn carb sideways (saw on YB 4500 carb)

or you move the engine forward, still cut to the windshield and mount the carb normal - but this will screw up the weight transfer and probably not even a good idea in general.


or you can go lexan windshield, and box out the carb.

anyway you cut it, youre losing the wipers.

Sounds like I will cut back to wipers and mount it sideways. Any problems with mounting a carb this way as far as fuel pickup goes?

I hate to cut up my street car, so I will probably put this combo in my 95 T/A drag roller since its gutted anyway.

Just tell Patrick when hes setting up the carb that youll be mounting it sideways.

I'm running a Victor Jr, Edelbrock plate kit and a AED 750. I have just enough room under the windshield to get the bottom half of the air cleaner on but I have to flatten the back half of the filter for it to work

No need to cut the windshield but the wipers do have be removed. Mine works fine sideways. I told Patrick that it was going on sideways, but the 1050HP I had on before this Pro Systems carb was right out of the box from Holley and it worked fine sideways too. I know the nitrous wiring looks like crap but its all coming off anyway
