Thread: 350 L1 crate rated 330hp what to bolt on..

For the 700R4 I would have one built at: http://www.phoenixtrans.com/

the olds. had 130,000 miles on it when they put it in the car.. dont know why anyone would do that but its not going to be a problem anymore..

I would stay away from the chrome,instead use a polished aluminum oil pan and ceramic coated headers.

Beautiful car!

I really like the serpentine setup from Billet Specialties. Attached pictures show small block w/o air, but they market a kit with brackets for small style compressor as well. They use off the shelf belts and are reasonably priced - not the cheapest, mind you, but quality is superb. Note too that this setup does not require a reverse rotation water pump as everything runs the same as stock.

Polished water pump and alternator are from Summit.

Good luck with this project!

I agree about the chrome oil pan. Most of these are cheezy offshore stampings that don't fit and will leak like a sieve. Two options, paint the block and a stock steel pan the body color or paint the block body color and use a cast aluminum pan like Shawnlee said. It you do that, polish it and have clear anodize applied to keep it looking nice. The Edelbrock enduroshine should last forever and look good.
