85burb · 07-08-2010, 11:18 PM

After i got in my chair again i looked at bds web sight and procedded to fall smooth out again. 2500 for JUST the lower manifold. Not the blower or anything. WOW.

85burb · 07-10-2010, 10:22 PM

What are you doing about the knock sensors. I want to remove them and sell to friend but not sure if it will splash oil all over. Have not had any luck findind new vally plate with no holes. Just hope they not important.

I'll ask on monday what they do at Mast when they go carbed. I think they have valley covers without holes. But don't quote me on it. It's been over a year since I was around when they built a carbed Ls.

85burb · 07-11-2010, 08:11 AM

Ok thanks.

85burb · 07-12-2010, 01:21 PM

Well found out the factory map sensor is the one i need. So i hope i have one that is still good on my motor. Also my maniflod came with bolts and throttle bracket. So i will have to go test fit and send arp bolts back. As it turns out they are for the factory plastic manifold. They are like 2 inches too long.

68GMCCustom · 07-12-2010, 03:06 PM

Mine came with gaskets and bolt too I think. The Edelbrock doesn't?

85burb · 07-12-2010, 03:16 PM

No on the gaskets but it does come with bolts and brackets for tv cable and throttle.

85burb · 07-12-2010, 03:19 PM

Just need headers and cam and heads checked. Spark plugs and wires. Hoses. MAP sensor mine on my manifold is broken. And what ever else comes up. Also want vally cover. Dont like the holes in mine. Only have found one and it looks like factory. I want like a shiny one. Any one know of any have seen them but not sure where.

okieraptor · 07-12-2010, 10:13 PM

Man your almost there. Can't wait till you get it runnin. Good job and keep it up.

**WOOS1** · 07-12-2010, 10:46 PM

I may have missed it, but what engine mount set-up did you go with? Also, that is it you do not like about the factory valley cover? Just wanting a plain sheet metal one?

I went with the trans depot ones that keep it in the factory spot. Ya just plain flat cover with no massive holes for sensors in it. You got one or know of them. Only one i found is edelbrock and it is 120 bucks. I would want a little bling bling for 120 bucks.

68GMCCustom · 07-12-2010, 11:32 PM

you know some are putting the pcv and breather in the valley cover....and leaving clean valve covers w/o holes.

I have seen that. But dont want to buy new valve covers right now. Both of mine have holes in them one is pcv and the other i beleve is the same. I read a build thread some ware that they did that last night whale trying to find a cover.

68GMCCustom · 07-13-2010, 12:58 PM

...yeah its on my list but not near the top.

The ones I want are like $250 shipped...money I need to spend elsewhere.

85burb · 07-13-2010, 04:01 PM

As it turns out i dont think they will leak. The part they screw into has rubber that seals around it. Still want new one but i will be ok if i dont find one.

85burb · 07-16-2010, 08:56 PM

So far i think i will try these headers. They are 170 a set and have seen them put on a square. Even if they dont fit it is not that much lost and will be resold.

85burb · 07-16-2010, 08:59 PM

Dont remenber if i asked befor but if my heads need to be milled for flatness. What am i to do about push rods. The rockers are not adjustable. So if they take some off the heads are the push rods going to be too long? Or am i just over thinking this. Not really sure how much they will take off never had a set milled befor. Thanks.

68GMCCustom · 07-16-2010, 10:09 PM

you'll just need an adj. pushrod for measuring the length...then order a new set.
