  • I'm going to have to make a how to video.

  • 283 is a small block chevy.Same as the 350 in the video.

  • Dirt modified headers I got at a swap meet to put on my hot rod that I never built.

  • great idea, but the headers make it near impossible to tune while running. What did you accomplish with this setup? Just seeing if it runs well? That makes sense, but I wouldn't trust some chinese stand on wheels!

  • if something goes wrong it's alot easyer to fix with the engine out of the car.

  • what camshaft are you running ?

  • Summit#1101

  • where did you pick up the stand and whats it called?

  • wheredi did you pick up the stand and whats it called?

  • I like it brother!

  • how did you mount the starter without the bell housing.... how did you start the engine

  • @Greaseland HELL YA PLEASE DO..I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE GJUNKYARD AND TEST AN ENGINE BUT I DONT KNOW HOW THE WIRING IS RAN SO I COULD START IT FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

  • @dekeyser11 fuses would be a good idea, just in case... well other then the main starter cable of course

  • that sounds beautiful.

  • Nice to see it can be done. Was hoping so.

    Have some possibly stupid questions...

    Just run a tube into a gas tank for the mechanical fuel pump, right? No senders needed?

    And just run straight 12 volts to the starter and distributor/coils? No fuses or other circuitry?

    Kind of excited, done my first engine and just gotta see if it will start now.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • engine sounds Nice
