Would you spend $6K for an engine swap and put up with having dimes JB welded to the intake?

One of the many reasons my swap is taking so long is I'm having a hell of a time getting dimes to stick to my composite intake manifold. I've tried JB weld like MTA used, RTV sealant, contact cement... you name it I've tried it! Can you guys offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm putting on a 390cfm carb from a 1972 350 chevy and need to plug the injector holes. Will the carb be big enough for my Northstar? Thanks!! Those suckers just won't stick!

I think not. |

Well, I'd at least pull out the Mercury dimes for certain. Everyone knows you can only use Mercury head dimes in Mercury's. And I would pull out those FDR dimes made before 1965... they are silver.
But the others? sure! The nickel/copper alloy dimes are quite strong and resist tarnishing... For a Pontiac, I would use Buffalo nickels. The Pontiac being an northern Indian tribe, the Buffalo nickels have an Indian warrior on them. Maybe you can use an Indian head penny too...

Why go Blow-Thru when there is GM factory turbo intake set-up to add a turbo and a 4-bbl carb that is a draw thru style and designed for a 4.9L engine already? (Just needs the base plate slightly modded to fit the Cadillac V-8) Parts are not hard to find. As a matter of fact I just helped a friend set up one in his S-10 truck. He dropped in a 4.9L and added the turbo, should have it completed in the next 2-3 weeks.

I believe it..
my 4.3 CPI natrually asperated ran constant 14.4s all day long
I had a best ever of 14.02 on race gas, more timing, cool day etc and I was doing everything right.it would take about 225 hp to do that under similar conditions and lots of bottom end torque
my engine was rated at 200hp and 260 ftlbs from the factory... i figure i had maybe 210 hp and a good day ------------------

I never thought of doing a 4bbl carb that is draw thru style, If you don't mind can you pm me or email me with some pics of your friends setup ?

As far as modifications go to each motor, you can go as fast as your pocketbook. Most of the turbo 3.4's are using small innefficient turbos that do not suit the motor. With an GT35R and an intercooler, the 3.4 will easily make 300whp. Only problem with that is cost, most just use an old GN turbo and no intercooler.

oh just wait -- T04E 60 trim with an intercooler rated for 800hp.. hoping to drive it to the MAFOA gettysburg show
