In summary:
Found the car on Craigslist. Low mile, low rust, straight body. No holes in the hell hole. Longs are clean. A small miracle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

After seeing Rick's "Alien" build, Felix's "Neo 914", and meeting "JLo", Andyrew, Sir Andy and other's rides.... I just gotta' get'er done!

Thanks Felix,
Of course seeing your beauty coming together played a part.
\BTW, where'd you have those 3" spacers made?

The Neo914 flares are awesome in person but now it sits under a cover until the V8 is back on the road. I thought this was a weekend bolt in but as Renegade says "these are hand built cars, you gotta MAKE things fit"... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Wheel adapters are from Ernie's Alloys, Inc. who sells on eBay. They actually sent me a second set by accident since I had them ship to WA, not my address here. My honesty got the better of me and I sent the extra set back... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Your intake manifold has more bhp than my motor.

Your manifold looks a little tall. You may run into trouble finding an air cleaner that will fit under the hood. Looks like you're making good progress... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Yes Eric,

There will be a clearance issue.

I'm going to install a cold air intake from parts from a few intake systems. Obviously the first thing is a fairly shallow rubber duct to the carb. Pulling air from I don't know exactly where yet... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

A few suggestions ...

- With those headers make sure you'll be able to route your exhaust on the left side to clear your shifter bar.

- Don't use the front and back rubber intake manifold gaskets and instead use a thick bead of Permatex on the rails.

- Get a one-piece oil pan gasket, much better than the 4-piece sets. Worth the extra cost.

- Use a double-roller timing set with a 3-keyway crank sprocket so you can advance the cam. With the cam I'm using I've found a 4 degree advance makes a big difference in performance.

Hmm, i didn't know the made a one piece pan gasket. I'll check that out.

Permatex? What color/type??

Which cam are you using????

I'm using the Comp Cams Extreme Energy hydraulic 294. Dyno stats below.

Dyno Results
Camshaft Part # 12-443-8 Designation XR294HR-10
Duration @ 0.006" 294 / 300 Duration @ 0.050" 242 / 248
Max Lift w/ 1.5RR .540 / .562 Lobe Separation 110
Lobe ID#'s 3317 / 3318 Intake Centerline 106
Engine Type Chevrolet 350 Small Block
Bore 4.040" Stroke 3.480"
Displacement 356 Compression 9.25:1
Heads Dart Sportsman II Intake Edelbrock Victor Jr.
Carburetor Holley 750 dbl. pmp. Exhaust 1 3/4" Headers
Max Torque 380 ft*lbs @ 4100 RPM Max Power 420 HP @ 6100 RPM


My engine setup is almost identical to the compcams stats above except i'm using mildly ported Chevy small combustion chamber heads (9.5:1), 355cid, and i'll be breaking in the motor w/a 600 holley and street dominator intake.

I use the orange Permatex but the other 'flavors' should work fine.

I'm using a Speed Pro # CS1013R 288/298 duration .050", .443/.465 lift 112 lobe sep

Your cam looks to have higher lift but shorter duration. I'd be interested in how it idles.
