Just watched a show on TV about the 2010 Camaro. It showed a supercharged model SS ZL575 which will have a base price of 57,995. The motor which seems like a detuned verision of the supercharged vette was rated at 575 hp. They ran it in the 1/4 and it turned 11.8 @ 121 mph. It had street tires on it and they left pretty soft. They also shifted like my grandmother. In the hands of some of us racers and with some drag radials high 10s are very possible.

Wanting to swap out the 5spd manual tranny in a '88 C1500 w/4.3 TBI V6 with either a THM-350 or a THM-200-R4. My experience with the 200-R4 is very limited but like the overdrive it provides for fuel economy. Since the '88 has a manual in it now I'm afraid getting all the computer controlled inputs to the 200-R4 for converter lock up will be a chore. The main thing is I need to get the truck back on the road the quickest cheapest way possible. Any suggestions/advice will be appreciated.

I switched engines and had to mess with the timing to get the 2.8L now in my 1992 camaro to fire up. The engine came out of a 84 camaro it's firing up fine but it's virbrating the whole car more than it should be...suggestions? Also kept ALL the wiring harness, pullies, & accessories off the 3.1 & put them on the 2.8

so i finally swapped the 350 out for a 383 stroker in my 72 chevy k10. Being fairly new to engine swapping, i'm left scratching my head on a couple things. I'm getting what i assume is low vacuum because the brake booster doesnt seem to be working now.(could i just disconnect the vacuum line from the carb and plug it into one of the intake runners?) the engine idles great but once the truck is put into drive it bogs down and almost stalls out. (maybe the carb is running too rich, i've got the mixture screws on the holley street avenger backed out 3.5 turns apiece) i've got a clear fuel filter and it seems to be empty while the engine is running, then when i shut down, it fills with fuel that looks like its bubbling or boiling. Thanks for any and all help on this i'm really looking forward to getting these resolved so i can drive again.

If it was the same with the old starter, you may have some bad spots on the ring gear. Assuming this is an automatic, time for a new flex plate.

question.... did the motor come out of a truck with a manual transmission???? or did your truck have a manual transmission... there is a circuit for the ecm... pin B10... an orange and black wire... this goes across to the neutral safety switch... the other side of that connector has a black wire with a white stripe... that is ground... when the transmission shifter is in park or neutral... the contacts are closed in the switch... this pulls the 12 volts on the orange and black wire to ground... this tells the ecm that the transmission is in park or neutral.. changes the programming.. i take it that your truck has the small cap HEI... can you examine the external coil for white power marks around the center.. that shows the insulation is breaking down.. replacements can be had for just over 20 bucks... the high voltage leaks reduce power and can create misfires.... not something that you are suffering with .. but a good thing to check out.. just in case... you might also take off the distributer cap.. pull the rotor.. take a bright flash light and shine it down the distributer shaft.. look at the pointed metal plate riveted to the distributer shaft.. you will see a ring magnet sticking out from under the plate.. if the exposed magnet is cracked.. you need to replace the distributer.. the magnets crack from thermal cycling.. and from impacts.. replacement distributers have a new style reluctor... that won't crack... if the magnet is good... you do have to look close.. pull the module.. take it to the autozone or some of the others .. they have a module testing machine.. have them run it six times in a row.. see if it passes.. the automated machine tests it completely... if the wiring from the pickup coil has green colored grease where it connects to the module... its needs replacing.. the problem is when changing the pick up coil.. the reluctor magnet almost always gets broken when you are tapping the roll pin out.. be sure if you take the module out.. that you use dielectric tune up grease under the module.. as that transfers the heat out.. Do not use this silicone Dielectric grease for anything else.. it will cause bolts and brake sliding parts to seize. it is just to transfer the heat from the module to the distributer housing.. one more thing... does your motor have a detonation sensor on the side.???? is it hooked up??? can you have someone with a scan tool watch and see when you tap the side of the block with something if the ecm sees this noise and retards the timing..

why dont you swap for some 64cc heads and have them ported? with this i think you will gain power depending on carb,intake,cam.

Wrecking yard, turbo set up from one of many cars with similar Cubic Inches. Who knows? You may just have something there. Lots of room for the plumbing associated with a turbo. Good luck.

Couple of silly questions. One. Has the block been machined already? Two. Is your cam hitting your rods? You need to watch for this in strokers. Like I said silly, but sometimes its the simple stuff that gets you.
