Few Pics of My SBC Conversion
Few Pics of My SBC Conversion Got bored so i thought I'd post up a few pics of my SBC 94 camaro. 377, 13:1, Dart Iron Eagles, super victor, solid roller, single cheater plate, runs 6.0's on 180 shot. True 10.5's and stock suspension. Looking for 2" Headers for it now, currently have 1-3/4" dynatechs. Where can i find 2" primaries? Might just have to build some....
Engine Shots Few better shots of the engine.
Thanks for the kind words. Going to make a few improvements over the winter and up the shot. Hopefully run some 5.70's or a .60 if I really get it working good.

Thats a really nice looking setup you got there. I really like color of your car.
How do you like the motor plate setup? I had debated about doing plates but decided against it.

The motor plates are great for giving me extra room under the car to work, especially changing spark plugs. The dynatech headers SUCK for changing plugs with these angle plug heads so I do it from under the car.
Sometimes they are a little bit of a pain in the *** to get everything lined up. Bottom line, if its an all out race car, go for it. Street strip deal, I wouldn't mess with it.
The color is custom color we made up. Its close to the HOK tangelo pearl, but with LOTS of gold pearl in it. Under the sun or lights it really pops, when its cloudy it can look kinda dull, but overall I like it.

Verdad Gallardo It's from Jones Racing Products. http://www.jonesracingproducts.com/ I used their brackets and alternator and made my own spacers. The motor plate was also notched for clearance. I did end up having to bolt the lower bracket to the motor plate to keep everything rigid. The kit was originally designed to use a cog style belt with a drive mandrel on the crank, but I switched to the less expensive V-belt design.
Cool. I bought my stuff second hand, but I'm sure you can order just the brackets from them. You'll need the upper C shaped bracket and a lower curved bracket. Let me know if you'd like more pics of the setup.

o well on that note i wouldnt even have nitrous near that motor lol. i have a 406 thats a stock 511 block. (yes its a two bolt main) im just bracket racing the motor. to scared to spray it. i know my luck soon as i hit the go fast button it would scatter.
This block started as a 2 bolt main, but I've got splayed 4 bolt caps in it. Scat crank and H beam rods, and JE off the shelf n20 pistons. Plan to pull it apart and see how it looks this winter. I've got about 20 nitrous passes on it now.
Are those headers for and SBC or an LT1. If you come across a place making 2" primary headers for a SBC please let me know, Im having trouble finding any kind of headers for SBC in a f-body. Im in the middle of a SBC swap into my f-body and would really like to find some 2" primary headers.
Hey Wes, this is Christian from up in Iowa. Hows it goin!?
They are Dynatech LT1 headers. Headman has a set of their Hustler Headers with 1-7/8" primaries and spread port flanges. Thats the closest I've found for off the shelf stuff. Looks like its going to be custom for 2".
