Actually, it's rich from the factory. Leaning it out a little can help but it doesn't seem like you know what you're doing, (just like I wouldn't be able to tune my car) it's probably best to not mess with it.

everybody ive ever talked to says it helps to richen it and advance the timing a little. i dont think the factory would make it rich since they are worried more about emissions. and i dont know y you think i dont know what im doing, i dropped this motor in a ford falcon, trust me i know how to tune the comp.

yea thats true. yea, it turned out pretty good, took about 2 years to complete swap, plus a year for body work. i would post pics but i cant get them small enough, it says they got to be less than 100 by 100 pixels or somethin, is that the only way to go? thanks

The ford falcon is definetly an intresting candidate for the lt1 swapski.
For a 100 bucks the only thing you really get now days for that is gas.
O yeah they make the engine rich so that it runs cooler which as mentioned above puts less stress on the engine.
I also can't help but ask but is it right hand drive? Did they even make em left hand drive?

yea its an american car, ive never seen a left hand drive falcon but im sure there are some around. but yea it was an interesting swap and only did it because i found a totalled 93 z28 for $1500 with only 71K. i used the engine, tranny, rear end, fuel pump, gauges, and anything else i could use, so the swap was relatively cheap. ive still got wheels and other parts im tryin to sell. but if anyones got a myspace i got pics on there, just ask and ill give u the url.

What is your myspace URL? I'll take a look at some of the pics, I'm curious. Don't worry about sending your URL out in this forum, lol it's not like anyone can do anything with it...
I say that, since you haven't posted your myspace url link yet. (assuming you wanted it private or something)

I can't figure out why but I dig the underbody it just works some how. Maybe because its so unexpected.
If you could still post some pics here that would excellent (i dont have myspace).
Thanks
