Title: What engine combos you guys running?
Post by: 50tbrd88 on January 08, 2005, 07:05:38 PM
I thought it would be cool if everyone posted some of the specs on their engine buildups (that is if you arent still running the stock weezy motor like me).

Have you gone through emissions yet, or do you know a way to cheat? :evilgrin: I have to get mine done by March, but I need to fix some egr  first.

Emissions sucks. I failed before when everything was factory stock so I had a waiver for 2 years. It was up on Jan 5. Since I was changing my intake manifold, my car was in pieces so I drove over and got an extention through may. Now I have time to have a set of high flow cats put on. I thought about just going through since the last 2 times, they have not looked under the car with a mirror. But my luck they would and I don't want to get beaten with a stick. They are pretty stupid there. They had to run the test over because the moron didn't realize I had duel exhaust. They only put one tube on my drivers side.  :slap:

Next motor is a '94 351 with a trick flow stage 1 cam, stock E7 heads till I can afford the AFRs, Stealth intake, speed demon 750, hooker full length swap headers. I will go with EFI later but the intake and injectors will run me over $700 so I'm going to use the carb stuff I've already got off of an older car that I kept some parts off of when I sold it.

Cool!  Someone else going with a Carb for now... EFI later.  Just on a much higher scale than I with my measly 500cfm.
