    Bad Combo?

    I left all the lines I have alone. So in theory all I would need is a regulator mounted to the firewall, a fitting with a hose attached ran to the regulator then another hose to the carb. Oh simple enough. Well what about the speed demon 625 carb and the cam specs? Will the 12-300-4 be too...

    So best to stay with electric for now. But why is there a plate covering it if it's just a casting?

    Bad Combo?

    I don't believe it is a roller stock I haven't checked yet. I'd be willing to bet it isn't but just has the provisions for it. My only issue is if it's not roller going roller adds more expenses. Although there is peace of mind with out having to break in or use special oil. I had forgotten...

    Bad Combo?

    This thread has gotten lengthy and filled with great information but I know I'm not the only one out there that's has thought about or wants to do a TBI to Carb swap. I just want to cover all the bases so there's no confusion in this kind of swap. We've covered intake, carb, cam and lifters...

    I get the idea of roller but I am not sure that I want that for this build. Now on my '51 gmc rat build yeah I'll do that, the block I have for it is setup for roller as well. I had planned on getting the street demon 625 carb. I've started pricing everything while also looking on Craigslist...

    Very good to know I will keep that in mind. That'll have to be done before the mufflers so maybe I figure out where they will be and then get a pipe(s) accordingly.

    What is the benefit? That'll make me have to get access to a welder which I do not have.

    Bad Combo?

    Well I was going to go with mentioned 2.25 but with the above setup will it hurt not having an X pipe?

    Bad Combo?

    I was going to run cats just for fumes but if not needed maybe save that expense. What about a setup like this? Instead of trying to come back up over the trans cross member just run them under then back up after it. Also I thought about using a turn down out of the muffler. Ideas?

    Bad Combo?

    Okay just wanted to check. This is getting up there in terms of $$$. Just pricing a few things I'm close to the 1500 mark and that's not including a distributor and wires, fuel pressure regulator, thermostat,exhaust pipes, cats and mufflers, in line fuel filter for before the carb, and probably...

    Bad Combo?

    But won't the timing be different for stock cam vs the comp cam 12-300-4? My older brother just got a second job at Oreillys so maybe he can hook me up with some tools and or parts. Oh I will wait to have the facts first. I'm still trying to get the motor out of the truck as it is. So...

    Bad Combo?

    You know that's what I was thinking of doing at first. Just to make sure I have the carb set up right and all that is worked out and make sure it fires up and runs without a problem. I am a shade tree mechanic and I know things to get me by but messing with the valve train is new to me. I...

    Where is the governor on a th350? If you're willing to part with it I would definitely take it off your hands.

    While switching over to carb am I unplugging my ECM essentially? Not removing it of course just won't be hooked up to anything or controlling anything with the new HEI?

    Bad Combo?

    Agreed. But it included headers and a nice mellow muffler. Hahaha I'm going with DYI exhaust and clamping it together for now.

    Bad Combo?

    Thanks man. Not sure it was when I bought the truck that I called and asked. They asked if it was a 3/4 or 1/2 T and said they could on a 3/4 just not 1/2. Maybe because there isn't enough clearance on one of the sides for the exhaust to run? I called back again a couple of weeks ago asking and...

    Do they do a visual inspection for emissions stuff though? Diamond muffler seems okay but they told me I can't run true duals on my '87 halfton. I normally go to Brian and Brian at Summit South auto repair.

    In Kansas City Missouri I do not believe we have smog testing for inspections. The only place in Missouri that does smog is St. Louis and surrounding counties. Old77 correct me if I'm wrong. Fpr is fuel pressure regulator.

    Bad Combo?

    Any suggestions on fpr's? Or HEI distributors and or coils? When switching intakes should I delete the egr as well or find one with the provisions?
