    83 engine parts

    Here's a summary 1978 low port heads, iron 1979 updated to high ports, still iron 1980 updated to aluminum, knock sensor moved to block. 1981 first year for computer 1982-83 EGR used to heat upper carb plenum. First choice for your set up would be a 1980. 1979 would be the second best choice...

    That's a 1978 manifold. '78 are low port intakes. Are you looking for a specific year or casting number? This might help: BEFORE BLACK - Turbo V6 Intakes

    b4black '82 GN project take 2

    Start of the fuel system. I replaced the tank a few years back and used the baffled tank from an SFI car (Spectra BM307C). I'm going with a in-tank pump (Walbro 450). With Steve D's (BEATAV8) help, I place a big order with Racetronix for fittings, hoses and filter. Stating with a stock...

    b4black '82 GN project take 2

    Here are some pictures of everything mocked up. The turbo inlet with the red coupler is just a place holder for now. It's tigght, but everythihg fits. The carb and it's hat do sit up high. I didn't think they would clear the hood, but after trimming the inner support, the hat fits nicely...

    80 Regal sport coupe blow though conversion

    https://fullthrottlespeed.com/products/champion-racing-billet-alternator-and-power-steering-bracket?_pos=1&_sid=e2235569d&_ss=r I had to do a little tweaking to one of the mounting posts to get the HEI distributor to clear. This would not be an issue if you use a smaller non HEI distibutor...

    b4black '82 GN project take 2

    Intercooler next. I believe this was made by Eastern Performance. It already had a bracket made to mount to the core support. Then a test fit with a header panel. The turbo to IC pipe it came with was fine, but a new IC to carb pipe would need to be fabricated.

    b4black '82 GN project take 2

    Next came the downpipe. I had bought a Terry Houston style DP a long time ago at a swap meet for $50. Now it was finally time to put it use. But it didn't fit! :mad: I borrowed some other DPs and they would fit either. Even if I tried using the stock IC header and turbo, nothing would fit...

    b4black '82 GN project take 2

    I had a thread call b4black '82 GN project. It's so old that the picture are all lost, so I'm starting it over. Soon after I bought my '82 GN back in 1990, I had an opportunity to buy another. I drove this second GN for just a few years, then the transmission went out and it sat - for a long...

    80 Regal sport coupe blow though conversion

    I'm in the process of converting over to blow thru. It's basically a 86/87 exhaust, turbo, intercooler and fuel system set up with an HEI distributor and a holley carb. So far, I'm mocking everything up to see what fits where. I'm using a lot of 'spare' parts from other people's builds. The...

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    The car is a factory draw through turbo V6, so the current brackets are wrong and the throttle cable is too short. I'm sure I'll come across a NA set up eventually. I'm not sure if the linkages on the carb are in the same places between the Qjet and Holley. It would be great if they work...

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    Holley lists 200+ items on their bracket page. 20-100 is listed for 4011 carbs 20-95 is for 4150 carbs using the 700r4 transmission. One review on Amazon said it works with the 350 trans. I like the looks, but it's non-adjustable. It does put the trans able in front of the accel cable...

    Thanks! Autozone actually stocks the Spectra version of the Summit bracket at local stores. (Amazon has it for $10!) The Edlebrock bracket looks good too. I just got off the from with Holley and they suggest this...

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    I'm getting a 550 cfm 4150 Holley carb setup up for blow thru and E85. What bracket(s) would you recommend for hooking up the accelerator cable and transmission kickdown cable? I don't see anything listed specifically for a THM350 trans. (The stock brackets for a draw thru aren't even close...

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    Looking at Holley's website, this is the smallest CFM they have for blow through: https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetors/street_strip/parts/MAD-650-BT
