Since you're a newby I thought I'd hook you up with some info.:biggrin:

http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/be.../281474-modification-4-1-4-barrel-intake.html

Wow, some excellant info there..your a man with patience and even more talent

Might have to find me a second intake to "play" with, I'm itching to get the Regal running and it would take me longer to port an intake than to finish the engine..

 

[charlief1]

Thanks. It really does take some time to do but well worth it in the end. It won't hyrt your bottom end but it really wakes the top up quite a bit. You son't want to know what I charge to do it though. Sold the last intake partially finshed for $150 and it's in Norway now.:biggrin:

As far as the Q-jets if you can get them for like $20 then I'd get them, other wise forget them.

You don't need to do that much porting but every bit helps.:biggrin:

Well I just realized, ive got an 87 motor sitting next to me with heads. I could do a bit of porting on those 8445 heads, or find a junkyard set to practice on... someone say An iron Duke head...:biggrin:...Aj....?

Ha.... i need duke heads.

any 1990 up S10 duke head fetches a mighty fine price around these parts.

you forget while the duke may not be popular up in your parts,

its a very very popular midget race engine in the south and midwest.

Who makes the .030 pistons you have in your block? Nice pickup with the 4.1L 4bbl Intake manifold.

Pistons made by Silv-O-Lite and got a great deal on the intake from jdpolzin.
Put in a Comp Cams 69-234-4 cam as well, gonna top it off with a Holley 390.

Gonna make it my daily grocery getter

 

[charlief1]

Get a 650 spread bore and a 1 inch hiker for the carb. It will work much better for you. The stock Q-jet is rated at 800 BTW.

 

[WarWagon]

I know those, Keith Black Silv-o-lite. Great looking Not bad for Hyper pistons, How much are a set at that bore?

You can get a set of 6 at Summit for about $100...a good deal for a daily driver

Cool, I will have to pickup a couple sets... going to rebuild both motors, when I have money that is

Well, since I changed my intake to a 4.1 and got the new stat housing to go with it my bypass hose has changed.
I don't want to by-pass the by-pass , just want to find the correct hose.

Is this the elusive gm 25525245 "s" hose that I need to find or would this be somthing else?

If this is the hose I need, anybody got one for sale ?

Thanks...

 

[charlief1]

Do yourself a favor and block it off. All it does is put more heat into the engine and they have enough issues with cooling. I had hell with my old NA keeping it cool and blocking it helped some.

 

[FlintBuick4Life]

So blocking it off won`t have any side affects?

 

[charlief1]

All it will do is slow the engine down on warm up a little. It doesn't drop it much but it does help keep it cooler.

You can get the S hose from any parts store. Just gotta go in the back and match it up and cut to fit. A 3 core radiator should take care of all your cooling needs. DOn't piss with the fbody radiator. Just had this discussion with Polzin a few days ago. I come from IROC country, I know what works for radiators and what doesn't and a 3 core out performs the stock fbody radiator by far. The fbody radiator may work in a n/a application but I don't plan on ever putting one in my car. I'll keep the extra 17lbs of fat.
