Please people that watch this video Never clearance your valve covers take them off intake fits under the valve covers perfectly in the center holes in your head are not for water those are for exhaust it's for the crossover exhaust from one head to the other two heat fuel in the carburetor and should be blocked off

Hey Guy, One thing I was noticing when you dry fit and had the issues I noted you dry fitted without the gaskets in place which would have added height to the gap making it bigger. So when you installed with the gaskets you now have a bigger gap front and back. Which would require a bit more sealant. Having said that I am getting ready to DO just this on my 87 GMC Sierra classic. It has the computer and 305 TBI and I am going carb. The engine feels strong but the TBI has given me issues since I have owned it. Wiring now seems to be shorting in various places. Every sensor replaced as well as the computer. So back to basics. And like you I am going fairly pedestrian in HP. Less than 300hp. I have a 69 firebird for my hotrod. My truck is a truck. HOWEVER Since I live near FT KNOX....I will wave a flag if I run into trouble. Great Video and the music is fine even for a "GET OFF MY LAWN" 60 yr old guy! Thanks for the vid.

Question. You removed the fuel pump to get to the engine mount bolt. But you installed the fuel pump on Your new engine before install. Was this just to show the how to install or did you install with pump on and we’re still able to get to motor mount bolt? Thanks.

@Josh-vx6lf 2 жыл бұрын

Correct, it was easier to show the fuel pump install with the engine out of the truck. I believe (going from memory here) when I went to pull the passenger side engine mount the bolt was installed so it had to be removed from the fuel pump side and I had to remove the pump because the bolt was so long. Double check me, but I believe if you flip the bolt around and put it in the mount from the backside with the nut facing forward it should clear the pump.

Only thing I don't agree with is picking up the engine with carb mount lift plate on and aluminum intake could strip out threads or warp intake

@jrhea5023 5 жыл бұрын

I've pulled many sbc engines, ls engines, even big block engines with aluminum heads and an aluminum carb intake, some with the trans still attached, for years with no issue. I use carb studs not bolts, that is the key. It works the same way an ARP head stud works. When threaded all the way down by hand, the threads no longer take the brunt of the force, it's transfers most of the load to the stud and nut itself saving the threads in your intake (or block with ARP studs). Any problems you've heard of were most likely user error i.e. using bolts instead of studs to hold the lift plate down. Thanks for watching, and if you enjoyed please check out the series in it's entirety!

Man, been researching this and the torque specs on aluminum intakes for sbc's are all over the place. All the way from 11 ft/lbs like you do here, all the way up to 30 ft/lbs, and everything in between.... Not sure what to go with, so I'm just going to average somewhere in the 20's...

@jrhea5023 4 жыл бұрын

Bro here is what I have found out over the years. Its impossible to get a torque wrench on the middle 2 bolts without a crows foot attachment. And even if you did after the first heat cycle on an aluminum intake it's going to need to be re-torqued while warn anyway no matter what you set it to. So I just use a long handle wrench and get them as tight as I can for the rtv to set up. Then after first fire up and heat cycle I re-torque the same way. It's always worked for me doing it that way.

Was able to get the torque wrench on those middle bolts using a "universal joint" socket extension. Torque recommendations were kinda all over the place, but I chose 22 ft/lbs.

What about the center water port, the gasket blocked it off. Do you cut it out?

@jrhea5023 2 жыл бұрын

That is an exhaust crossover for factory carb heat. It was used in OEM applications to warm the carburetor up quicker in a cold start scenario. It doesn’t have any water flowing through it, but if not addressed in an aftermarket situation it will heat up the carb in warm climates. I have the exhaust crossover ports blocked for this application

Why did you go carb versus injection?

@jrhea5023 4 жыл бұрын

Good question (I'm assuming you're asking why sbc and not ls) because I had a fully assembled ls1 sitting on an engine stand that could have went into this truck. Honestly this was easier and cheaper to have up and running than an ls engine and everything is brand new. Ls engines are great and I have a few, but it's hard to beat the cost and simplicity of a sbc up to about 450 hp for a cruiser/hot rod/daily driver. Every gearhead should be able to tune a carburetor and distributor IMO.
