    E303 cam advance off?? Any help? thanks

    mancuso4130... you are right to install the e303 with the timing chain set to 4 deg advance. the e303 comes with no adv built in, and it needs it. your timing set should be fine. you could check the cam timing without too much disassembly, remove the pass valve cover, put a dial indicator...

    Carb vs. EFI help me decide what to do.

    all good points....if your on a budget and want some power than carb is the best route, and since you have it already you wont have to pay to convert. but if you got the money than efi has alot more advantages like better mileage, more torque, etc. but a nice carb setup would pass the...

    Carb vs. EFI help me decide what to do.

    well if you have to go to a state run place or any inspection station were you dont know them you will fail automatically because 1989 was suppose to have efi not a carb. but if you can get someone to not look at your equipment and just run the smog test then a carb setup without any smog junk...

    331 guys get in here, please...

    but the big question is do you want to be emmisions friendly? if so and you plan to run cats then I would go much bigger than the cam you picked or the cats wont live long. but if emmisions are not an issue then ditch the cats and get a cam around 236/242 deg at .050", 112 ls, .540"/.540"...

    331 guys get in here, please...

    personally the cam and injectors are too small, with that cam the 331 will be done at like 5200 rpm. and the intake should be a short runner type, a long runner will choke it off above 5000. with your listed combo and the aod I will say 325rwhp and 375rwtq. get a bigger, better cam , a...

    Speed Demon 650 or 750 for this setup?

    650 carb all the way. and yes those carb spacers are tapper inside to provide a smooth airflow from the carb to the intake, sort of like port matching, and the tappered carb spacers add a good amount of hp.

    30lbers of 42lbers?

    unfortunately your injector selection must be based on your current hp level. the stock eec when at wot ignores the mass air meter and o2 sensors and tells the injectors to pulse at a preprogramed level from ram. so if you make 300hp and 24lbers are good for that and you install 42's because...

    Carb vs. EFI help me decide what to do.

    well I assume emissions is not a concern at all. if thats true then stick with the carb setup, they are alot cheaper to play with and easier to tune. if you had the same cid motor, same heads, etc one with a performer rpm intake and 650 carb and one with a performer rpm efi intake and say a...

    opinions on this Internal Combo

    if you use a stock block a main girdle is needed for strength. if you use the 302 sportsman block you dont need a girdle. if you plan to keep the shift point under 6500 then cast steel crank and 5140 i beam rods are more than fine. but if you plan to spin it above 6500 then the forged crank...

    Fun for the GURUs

    that e303 cam doesnt come with any built in advance, so you'll need to use an adj timing set and install it 4 deg advanced or it will be a dog. your next purchase should be serious tires meant for drags or your just gonna spin those tires.

    A-arm bushing removal

    well the only easy way to get the rear types out is to heat the outside metal case with a torch until if just starts to melt/smoke then push the bushing out with a large screwdriver, no need to completely melt it. the fronts are the same way, unless the new ones have the metal case, then...
