More 383 Pics
Here are some more pics of the 383 on its way.
We had to go with a different intake than my original
plan of the Performer. The intake ports are too tall
on the heads for it and we changed to a Weiand 8004.
The last shot is where it should be tomorrow or Monday for
it's maiden voyage:cheers::D
:hurray: :party: :party: :chevy

Look'n good. :thumbs: Now I have to get a pair of those valve covers. Who has the best price? Also I like that thermostate housing too and where do I buy one of those? Any part numbers?
I don't understand why a performers intake ports could be too low? What kind of heads are they? :chevy

Cardo, I bought them from Bairs about a year ago, I think they they cost $110.00. The therm housing is a stock GM unit from Zips but I had it ceramic coated like JetHot does to headers. I also had my performer intake done that way but I couldn't use( I'll probably be selling it). The performer aren't tall enough, I think the heads have 200cc runners and this could be why.
bence, the heads ar Pro-Top Line. I think once we dyno it the ratchet will produce about a 10% increase in torque:D
Shark, the cover are stock Corvette from the late 70's/80's, I just liked the look but that's how they came:cheers:
