thank you

It's O.K. for the money. I have a friend who put a set of the heads on his car and it had some punch. Beware though, is the cam and lifters for a roller block (some, not all 87 blocks and up) or is it a "retro" fit on the 86 and older blocks, i didn't notice the specs.

I didn't understand but I think it will fit my engine ?

what do you think about the spark plug being in angel not straight ? will I have problem with the headers?

proxemics

which intake , carb will work best with this combo ?

Angle plugs can sometimes have header clearance issues. Check with the header manufacturer you plan to use before deciding on a set.

Looks like a decent combo. If it's seeing ample street time I'd go performer RPM or rpm air-gap with a 650 double pumper Holley. If seeing the track I'd consider a Victor jr. intake with the same carb or maybe a 750 dp.

thanks villain

I'm considering performer RPM with holley 750 secondary carb what do you think?

also do I need to change my piston to better one or the stock one will handle the power.

thanks

The rpm and 750 vac secondary would work fine as well, and may return better mileage than the double pumper on the street.


Stock cast pistons may be a little dangerous with this level of power, and I definately would not recommend running nitrous or forced induction unless you go to forged pistons IMHO. I know that plenty of people can make cast pistons live, but I've also seen plenty of them come apart and create a lot of damage.

Good luck!

thanks man so I can use them but no n2o for me

what forged piston do you recomend ?

It can depend on a lot of things, but budget comes into play more than others.

I'm currently running Federal Mogul forged pistons. Not the lightest, but priced right. You get into pistons that are lighter, coated, etc... and the price goes up.

If this is going to see ample street time, I'd consider flat-tops with 2 or 4 valve reliefs for a 9.5-10:1 compression ratio.

thanks Derek

yes budget is a factor here I need them good put not so expensive

proxemics

Derek sorry for bothering but could you help me with these questions

what stall converter to chose for this combo ? will I need shift kit ?

also I'm concerned about my rear end I don't think it will handle the power can I put impala SS 95-96 rear end in my car and are they good ?

thank you

any one can help ?

the car is 87 camaro Z28
th350 trans

I'd consider a 3200-3600 stall in a loose 11" or tight 10" variety. I've run a 3400 JW 10" converter with my combination and had great results at the track and it doesn't slip too much on the street.

Make sure the trans is built right to take the power you're going to be putting through it, and that should include a shift kit or complete performance build.

Impala rears use upper and lower control arms if I'm not mistaken so you can't swap that directly in place. The strock 10 bolt can live with a rear end girdle cover, and check the gears and axles for tooth engagement and make sure no twisting or cracks appear. A friend of mine has a 95 Formula with the stock 10 bolt and makes it live through low 1.60 60 foot launches by changing gears every 3 years and running a T/A girdle.

Good luck!

the only decent rear ends are after market units or the rare Dana 44 GMPP sold..

The key is the Tq arm mount

proxemics

thanks man I'm not sure about the trans built but all I can do is installing the converter and the shift kit and we will see what will happen hopefully the trans will survive
which shift kit do you recommend?

I considered Impala rear because we have alot of them here and I can find rear end easy what do you think about 4th gen rear end ? or can I just modify my rear ?

proxemics

that is true

but getting an after market rear will cost me way to much because I have to pay for shipment

proxemics

I figured out that they are the same If I beef up my 10 bolt well it handle the power?. The car will see the track from time to time and I will run slicks ?

please help me in this I can't afford after market rear also it's almost impossible for me to find an old 12 bolt or ford 9in in my area

I would look for a local style replacement. some thing with a drop in carrier like a Ford 9in

then you can fabricate the mounts

proxemics

like what ? I don't know too much about rears

If I find F150 or explorer rear is't good ?

thanks for helping
