I know there are lots with more experience than me and a few of you who also have to contend with the lovely CARB regulations here in California so..
1978 Chevy C10
Engine 350 SBC
Intake manifold with all of the state-mandated smog fittings casting number: 346249
The new block has a casting number of 10243880, 92-96 model years.
Will the two mate unmodified? I ask because as I am trying to put the manifold on but the 4 center bolts look as if they are drilled at a more perpendicular (straight up) angle than the rest. I am asking before I get the grinder out and modify the holes then epoxy back to size.
I would like to put an aftermarket intake manifold on, but there are no intake manifolds with the magic EO (executive order) paperwork available. Has anyone put on a Performer manifold with the EGR option and successfully passed smog in CA?
I want to keep it carb'ed (I luvs me the sound of 2ndaries opening up) so am leaning against TBI, that and the hassle of the state come smog time.
I appreciate all of the help, I would post pictures if I was doing anything interesting but all of us have seen greasy engines that have sat for 30+ years.
Thanks for the help,
