New Engine for an 84 Corvette
hello all,
I just came across this site and it looks great. I have a 1984 Corvette with 140k on the odometer. I am planning on stroking this 5.7L motor with a cast internally balanced rotating assembly with hyperutectic pistons. It will be street driven so i will not be reving past 6000 to 6500 RPM. I am thinking about a hyro cam with a 110LSA with 224 degrees of duration @.050. I will be running TFS or edelbrock heads as well with 64 cc chambers to be able to run pump gas. I will probably get rid of the Crossfire for a Wieand stealth intake tuned for the same powerband as the cam. Can you guys recommend a carb for this motor? I hear good things about Demon carbs for performance, drivability, and gas milage. Something with vac secondaries. I also have an electronic 700R4 trans with TCC lockup. I need help making a carb setup work with this as far as the TV cable and TCC. I can leave the ECU in place, maybe that will still control lock-up. I will be putting 3.73 gears in the diff too with a higher stall convertor. Any advise? Thanks and hello to everyone!
