you'll find helpful info there too.

That forum sucks ass. There are maybe 2-3 people there who have complete running cars, and even then their stuff isn't reliable enough to be daily.

Everyone else on there is just wishful thinking at best. Seems like nobody wants to put down money for fabrication and always trying to cut corner.

If you want help on your setup just PM me. I have your exact swap.

All you'll get there is putdowns because you don't have an LS-series.

I got my tranny out of a friend 1985 camaro z28 305 and it still cant handle my mild 350 It was cheap though... cheap as in free

[Oo_Skyline_oO]

Sick build man, can't wait for videos!!!

[96Turbo]

i don't know much about v8s....but how does the LSx compare to the SBC in terms of mounting points and size?

I'm wondering how hard it would be for this guy to upgrade to LSx in the future and not hafta refabricate mounts and such.

dude sbc 350's come in everything from trucks to cars to station wagons just look for and old gm product and youll most likely find a 350 under the hood ,and as for the fuel system they are all carbureted up until 86 or so then they got tbi ,and some where about 95-96 they started making the vortec 350's

[EDacIouSX]

looks like that car will handle very nicely with that small block pushed back. well at least fro pics, looks like its pushed a little bit back into the fire wal. i'd like to se how it handles when its done.] too bad i cant drive it :/

[Import_Prophetz]

I love how this car is done correctly, I wanna see updates in the future.

LSx wouldnt be a drop in you'd have to fab mounts again

You can take a rock and throw it into any junkyard and I'm pretty sure it'll land on a car with a sbc 350.

this is still the most killer post in this thread.

just to help, SBC= Small Block Chevy, 350 = 350 cubic inch. 5.7 liters.
Small blocks came in trucks, vans, camaros, vettes, caprices, novas, caddies, everything

(p.s. LSx's are technically SBC's. )

Gen 1 small blocks were made from 1955-2003.
During its run, over 90,000,000 small blocks were built

Mounts are different, however there are SBC-mount kits for LSx motors that would let him re-use his mounts.

SBC = small block chevy, yes, but this just means everything smaller than a "big block", aka "mouse motors" vs "rat motors". Not being limited to 350ci. Includes the 327 (seen as the "perfect" bore/stroke ratio, also found in the 383), 350, 383, 396, 402, 418, etc.

[WangonwWarrior]

The goodmark camaro has a 454 SMALL BLOCK! i know but you can do anything with a smallblock nowadays.

Momma said 2 heads is better than one, thats why i run a V8... this should be in your sig lol

[Dustxking]

Looking good man, keep it up. MoAR pictures.

[blu808]

Good build but seriously. A sbc. that would be like letting al lagura compete in a understeering competition.

I wasn't saying it was limited to the 350

Also, the 383 IS the same block as the 350, since its a 350 block with a 400 crank. Not something GM ever made, although chrysler did

****Not to thread jack, but sorry.....

Oh, no I just figured that others might like to see it there too, if you actually do research, you'll find a few on there are done up nicely. Mine's on there too.

haha trust me, I don't need you help, just offering mine....

Cheapest way to 400 hp? That's a toss up. If you're going N/A, that LS1 may actually be cheaper, depending on what all you do. I guess I'm looking at one car making 400 whp and being driveable, nice, and mild (the LS1) and the other being peaky, finnicky, and strung.

Now if you're going straight nitrous, obviously the SBC will make 400whp cheaper haha.

I've got a friend with a mild LT1 in an FC, and he's yet to break the Turbo II diff.

T5's from either Ford applications or GM, all fuckin suck if you're beating on them.

Luckily for you, there are plenty of nice upgrades (TKO TKO TKO haha)

thanks...umm for the info... i know that GM never made a 383...thats why its called a 383 stroker. i knew that because i helped build it

[WangonwWarrior]

Thanks to the fanboy who negetive repped me cause i ran a 9.4 in the 1/8th. I did not build my car for drag racing i built it for road course and burning as much fucking gas as possible, so fuck your couch



and the bukkake thing LOLZ

[b18civicdrift]

wow i am totally super happy for you. That info wasn't aimed at you, but thanks for flexing v8 knowledge nuts i guess?

[sldbyuramg]

actually i was assuming you were flexing them at me...no worries took your post wrong. but whatever.

[Pank]

naw, its all good. I wonder how long this 2 bolt block will last. I want to build a high comp 4 bolt drag-type engine after. all day at 7k, whooooo

If it was a Ford 2 bolt, you'd make all kinda nice power

Just bustin your balls a little of course Ever hang out at LS1tech in the hybrid area? Tons of v8 s chassis there....I love seeing these cars get more popular in the v8 world

[Pank]

If you live in the south, you're used to seeing cars with gen1 sbc's in them all day, then LT1's, then LSx's being the most rare. cheap(er) gas and the huge supply of them in mulletmobiles makes it easy.

they get SHIT mpg for the same hp that an LS1 gets.

eh well.

[blu808]

I want a ls1 powered ewwiwop.

That would be awesome.

LS1 in everything >

[sldbyuramg]

LS1 is much better and a must in SD, if your gonna go V8. it is alot closer to being legal than an SB 350 and gas prices are STUPID!
