Well my parts arrived this afternoon, and I just thought id share it with you guys because, I have about 90% of the parts/things, to do my vortec 400 swap, Im still waiting for my bowtie overdrives TC lock up, and I need a line from the fuel pump to the carb, I need some gauges, and a trans cooler, Id like to have my trans Re-rebuilt, but my budget has allready owned me. Next up after I pay this crap off, Is a 9inch or 12 bolt and SFC.

Heres all my stuff for this motor.

The valve covers where from Bill(baddest434) so thank you Bill!

What are some good machine shops around my area? I tried contacting one, but no answer so far.

The sniper from NOS looks like a simpler kit, from when I had the eddelbrock Nitrous system, But Its been 2 minuts and I allready dont like something with it, The things to hold the bottle up have the bolts on different sides, I would prefer the bolts to be on the same side.

now you just need a drivers liscense

Now you just need to actually put it together! :)

that too. :)

LMAO, I take the state permit test soon, I hadda take a practice test online for homework, I passed with an 82, you need an 80 to pass.. I will start doing the cam soon, Probably sunday, Im still looking for quotes on steam holes, changing the springs, and some porting

good luck matt it's nice to see that you have finally decided you have a way to go. you were burning yourself out looking at so many different options but i know you were trying to learn. anyway pm me if you want those wires i'll be working on the car next week.

as far as the bottle brackets...why dont you just take one off and flip it? problem solved.

ps
My vortecs are better than your vortecs :nod:

ian you beat me to it, those brackets can go however you want them matt

he was probably joking about the brackets!

Looks good Matt, you'll be happy once its all put together and running right.

racing machine service in clifton..i have the number back at home in jersey..frankie is awesome and knows his old chevy stuff...really really hard to find though..ill get you the number this weekend...and LRB performance..i never met him personally but he was a close friend of an old boss and i only heard awesome things..hes kinda far since he moved to way north nj

Looks like Christmas came early..Have fun..

Oooh, I'm jealous. Nothing like fresh 062's ready for machining! :)

I wish this were the case, but I can guarantee it isn't.

thats alotta s**t haha. i love how u have a box of tissues on top of yer computer too. i dont even wanna know what u were doing.

I figured this was a thread about your orange bike flag, new bike seat, and/or new streemers for your Huffy.
So..you re 16 months old, and you already have owned 2 different nitrious sets ups.
A month ago, you couldnt tell the difference between a upper radiator hose and a carb...and now you are gunna build an engine.

Outstanding.

ROFLMAO :rofl:

we try to raise them right..give them good advice..help them as much as we can..but in the end they will cause their own demise

ahahaha!!!

anyway matt, where did you get the vortecs from?

I have been sick ever since hockey season then got the flue, thats why the tissues are here.

As to al, i was thinking about that last night, Ive had 3 aftermarket cams, 2 intakes,2 sets of heads, 2 sets of headers etc. What I realized is I need to make dicisions on my own, and not what other people tell me to,Unless they are real knowledegable, and respected on the sites I frequently ask questions on.

The bottle bracket wasnt a joke, Ive been dead tired all week because ive been studdying for english late at night..

I got the heads from jegs, They where more expensive then Scoggin dickey, but It wasnt to bad, and I wasnt sure how scoggin dickey was with shipping.

Ian, your vortec build up is gonna suck compared to mine :)

Ian is never gonna have a car to put that engine in! :mrgreen:

Matt,

I picked up High Performance POntiac (magazine) off the shelf the other day because I cancelled my subscription. June 2007. The very first editorial in that issue is about restoring cars... and the PLAN YOU NEED TO HAVE IN PLACE BEFORE YOU BEGIN. I'm just pointing this out because as I looked ove the parts you have above, I began to reflect on your project over the last, what, 2 years?

If you haven't got HPP in subscription, I would highly suggest you pick up the issue and read it over. It's very informative and may help organize your project into a workable plan.

I'm not posting this to be a jerk, just pointing it out because it actually helped me.

i have aluminum vortecs, ftw
lol

Untamed, I always had a plan, it was headers,exaust,airfilter, subframe connectors, and gears. It just evolved from there. I hope i never have another project car :)
