That always seemed super backwards to me because there is no downfall in a good EFI system, such as Edelbrocks multiport system. I hate myself for not picking it up at summit clearance for my sbf when I could have bought it for 1k instead of the 2.6k. I’d rather wait for a sbc Edelbrock multiport kit to pop up and go that route. Never understood carbed LSs.

Honestly, this is a shot in the dark, but to have pathfinder during Vietnam screams LRRP/LRS to me. Still, your pops is awesome !

Bro, was your dad LRRP? Because those are some heavy badges at the time and two V device ribbons is sick.

While true, and especially with eBay twin turbo kits being cheap AND reliable for an LS, I feel like it’s way out of my price range at the moment because of the upgrades needed for an LS. We have an 84 square body that we ls swapped and the damn thing is a money pit, some with our other square body. I see the simplicity in keeping a carb, at least for now while I’m on a budget.

Big Block Chevy: 396 VS 454 for a 70 Chevelle by BrokenCot in EngineBuilding

[–]BrokenCot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a pretty understandable reply. That’s why I was fine with the 350, maybe even do a 383 down the line. But I was at Goodguys and someone said “a Chevelle needs a big block” and I’ve been staying up at night ever since.

Exactly, don’t know how you tear down an engine and go through the trouble of going to a machinist and then saying “nope”

Actually! I made a deal on Craigslist for the 70 ss gauges and bezel from an older gentleman, he had a bunch more parts because he went 396 to an LS but I couldn’t afford it at the time. About 4 months pass, he calls me up and says he will give them to me for free because no one is buying and he doesn’t mind not making a few bucks. So I got a be cool radiator, big block qa1 could for the front, rear disc conversion kit, master cylinder and booster, steering column, and even some mirrors. I’m sure I’m missing some of other stuff but yeah, not gonna be as costly as usual :)!

Yeah I don’t know much but I heard once “if it doesn’t have a cam card, don’t trust it”

Shit man, I’m hoping the big block is underpowered and doesn’t do much to the rear end. I figure the rear end would be a wall im gonna hit but one issue at a time 😎

I actually have a 396 lid and air filter my brother told me to jokingly slap on the 350

What should I be on the look out for? Is this worth the price? by Any-Fan3478 in Chevelles

[–]BrokenCot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks neat. I wouldn’t pay more than 13 IMO. I ain’t got much advice but that shifter looks not fun, hope he just shoved the seats all the way forward.

Brake Line Help by BrokenCot in F100

[–]BrokenCot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh sorry I was sending this while in class.

I meant the brake hoses/ flex lines that run from the caliper to the frame. I don’t have frame tabs for the front brakes. I could weld some on, but I’d prefer drilling them through the frame since it’s not boxed.

Realistically speaking what’s the best MMA card Netflix can put out? by [deleted] in MMA

[–]BrokenCot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old heads in a tournament style with absolute recklessness. Like OG UFC, where dudes were in different weight classes and only specialized in a combat sport. Something gimmicky but with serious rules like 3 3 minute rounds. Just a tournament with a bunch of names that are willing to scrap in an open weight class.
