[z31]

:nonono: Here is a clue. :icon_scratch:

[zbrown]

i was sneaky and just stole a cam on ebay at the last second :).... I just dont know where a camshaft goes..... whatever that is

[z31]

Magic stick? :icon_scratch:

[z31]

Edelbrock Victor Jr LS EFI :icon_cheers:

[zbrown]

happy pants once again !

[Grr]

mmmmmmm, thats sexy! Now if i would just post up pictures of that nice cam i have sitting here...

[Christian]

What is the specs of the cam?

[Grr]

Its a comp XR265
212/[email protected]
.525 lift
114 LSA
Not very big, but should be pretty much perfect on a 4.8, and more so as a turbo cam.

[Grr]

Got some accomplished today. Cut 1.7" out of the oil pan and welded back together, installed the cam, and Jason got the black sprayed on the motor and trans.

[MisterCMK]

That's cute.

Who's building the tranny?

[Grr]

i dont think this trans will have alot of problems holding. sure it will need it eventually, but with zacs 2600lbs, and 4.11 gears, there shouldnt be much stress on it. maybe this winter it will get a mild stall and a shift kit, new clutches, but thats pretty much it.
As a matter of fact, BMR Fabrication took a bone stock 4l60 in a 04 GTO down to a 10.2@130 before it started slipping, in a car with a 3900lb raceweight. So 10.0s in a 2600lb car should be a cake walk

[zbrown]

wow good work you two

man with the intake mani and valve covers the color of the car that is gonna look sick....... i

[zbrown]

oh and using the new edelbrock cast intake elbows that just came out instead of a sheet metal one

really low profile, clears a stock hood..... like this, but powder coated black

I see. Good luck with that. It is kind of hit or miss, some people do well, but most end up needing a rebuild sooner than they would like.

Also, isn't it technically a 4L65E?
