Digging up an old thread. I just bought an edelbrock rpm efi intake. Instead of starting a new thread Ill just continue with one I started with my old name.
(1)Can you order an aftermarket K-Member that will have a lower mounting bracket for the motor mounts. I know there are a couple of k-members that offer drop rack mounts but what is that?
(2)Astinwes, ever get any #'s on that 351, im very interested. Ive met up with a group of ls1 guys that im going to the track on friday with and I think a 351 would put me in their league. That is when I get it in.
(3)Ive tried looking at the specs on the RPM intake but cant find it(As far a height goes). Im going to use the truck 351 lower from edelbrock that matches perfectly with the RPM upper. The only problem once again would be hood clearence. My 96 cobra hood will be on by the end of next week. So well see. The lower will be ported and I havent decided by who yet.
(4)Ill be buying a 351 or 357 shortblock and everything needed for the swap just to get it in. Now dont flame or anything but, Ill be using the stock e7's just for the time being. And my cam of choice will already be in the block.
(5)Ever since Ive dropped the idea of putting a 351 in my car I got an idea from the ebay fastforward fastback. I was thinking about milling an 1/8 of an inch or more off the lower intake. Does anyone know how much the Edelbrock rpm upper with the truck lower will stand above the valve covers. Because all the clearence that there is will be milled off the top of the intake.
Just a few more starter question for now. I know Vib will chime in hopefully, with his 408 project. Thats it for now. My dads selling his house and is willing to lend me money for the new motor. Obviously this project wont start until winter but Im putting together the parts list just for the shortblock to be in and running. Once again forget about me using the stock heads, they will be replaced sooner or later.
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Dan.
