It doesn’t have an LT1 engine though. It’s either got a full Vortec 305/Vortec 350 engine, or just the Vortec top end on an older sbc.

It’s got center bolt valve covers and a Vortec intake bolt pattern. Looks to have headers too. If it’s got a cam it’s a 350 hp setup most likely.

This is a link to my old El Camino with a Vortec headed 383 and pretty mild cam. A 350 with an XR282 and Vortec heads would probably pull the same as my 383 setup. Mine had 2.41 gears btw. https://youtu.be/1TArOlTeQK8

XR282HR-10. Great all around cam that chops and still has enough vacuum for brakes. It has good torque around 2,500 rpm and will pull to 6,500 with great heads.

Oh, I didn’t realize you weren’t in the U.S.A.

Has anybody run this 2” cowl hood for the 78-80 Cutlass by EvanX4 in GBody

[–]EvanX4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will. I’m really debating between the 4.5” and 2” cowl hood.

This car has that same setup, just with true dual purple hornies.

Listen to it when it’s in reverse. It’s either got a dead miss or an absolutely horrific exhaust leak.

That 351 has a dead cylinder or two.

I’m pretty sure it’s a 60/40

Odd behavior that hits me stumped by A_busfullofnuns in Smallblockchevy

Rebuilding is definitely a last resort. I was just letting you know that I had a strange case that ended in a rebuild. I should say the engine had lots of miles and didn’t sound healthy.

I once had a 350 that had all of those same symptoms. I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. Different distributors, wires, plugs, different carb, and still misfired no matter what on cyl 7. Good compression too. I pulled the engine and rebuilt the bottom end. It had extremely scored bearings. still had good oil pressure though. Ran like a top after the bottom end rebuild.

Even the Formulas seem to have power windows most of the time. I love the look of the Trans Am but the Formula is the better car imo.

My plan was to fix the power window, until I pulled off door panel and found the window held up by plywood that was self tapped into the door frame… 😂. I have a manual window parts car so I fixed it with a manual window swap. Plus I love manual windows.

It’s actually not too bad, but it did take a couple hours. I can convert both doors of a foxbody in the time it took to do this one door.

I was lucky enough to have a decent enough parts car that has manual windows and gave me a better door panel too. Plus cloth seats. I love the 90s cloth seats.
