I don't run one anymore....last time was 06 with a mid nine second 79 Malibu; then my pocket book tapped out....just have several buddies who stuck with it and are now running sevens and eights. They've tried every conceivable glide/turbo combination and several have come back to the most consistant/tunable/predictable combo being the 2.1 geared 400. If they try running 1.80 or 1.69 glides; then the convertor really gets murdered on both the launch and gear shift. While these examples do have more power than you, the cars are small tired drag radial and/or 28 X 10.5 type combos....FWIW

The only reason I asked that is because you said, "All I need are head studs to finish."
Whenever we build an engine, if the engine is going to have head studs used, we line bore the engine with the customers head studs.
I guess they have a set that they use instead.

an 8.50 car is yours with a 250 plate and an 8 oh combo is yours with a .042 pill fogger
you have mid nine second potential on ***** and since you're not running a big *** 31 W tire which plants 11.3 to 11.6 width, I predict hooking issues for you with a 2.48 on all but the most well prepared starting surfaces.....and since Da' Grove is my home track, I think you know what I'm implying......

MAST also makes intakes for carb. Give them a call and talk to Chris.
My goal is to get this camaro running low 10's maybe even into the 9's on MUSCLE!
No plans for JUICE or any power adder with this build.And DaGrove is my home track too!Thanks A.R., for all your suggestions. Might see you at Da Grove(GLD) one of these days.

You have enough motor to run 10.0 or quicker if the rest of the works. I'm patiently waiting for mast to ship my heads they promise this week..... My build is time sensitive DW is around the corner!

I had a chance to work on the windage tray and installing the oilpan and pick up tube today. A little modifications on the tray and some spacers cleared the rods easily.
Moroso oil pan#20140 and their oilpan stud kit.
Moroso pick tube#24050
GM Windage tray(deflector)#12611129
I also installed a pick up tube "girdle" for assurance that the pick up tube will not come loose from the oil pump. It incorporates 2 bolts instead of just 1.

The stock pick up tube will work fine with the stock oil pan, but you may want to incorporate a baffle, like the one from Improved Racing.

So wait the cam is a 260s/280s 114? What do you plan to spin the motor to?
I ask because Chris Frank told me about a 414 he did with his Stage 2 LS3s, a GM single plane, 11.8:1 on pump gas and a solid roller 257/264 109+4 Cam. It peaked at 7500 and carried out past 8000. I ask because it's a similar type of build (made 756 engine dyno) and has a much lower IVC.

I don't know if this question has been answered, but I seen you with the kooks headers with the 3.5 collectors. Do you plan on just running an open head or do you plan on running a full exhaust? I have the same headers and haven't figured what I'm going to do, for the rest of the exhaust.

Looks makes a nice y pipe that fits the headers and can get it with a 4" outlet. What I did. And put a 4" cutout in the I-pipe.
