1984 Camaro First Start

The first attempt at starting her for the first time with the rebuilt small block. headers only. she cranks slow cause the battery from the matrix doesn't have enough balls and the previous like minute of cranking was edited out.

some engine info:
350sbc punched to 358
hypereutectic .060 over pistons
edelbrock??cam 477/477 @ 112 LSA (came with motor, not 100% sure)
hooker competition headers
edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Intake
Holley 4150 4777-C 650CFM DP
Taylor Performance Distributor w/ MSD Street Fire Wires.
I believe them to be higher compression heads from '71. cant remember castings, maybe 993? or something.

does the air gap fit under the hood?

[aleks6989]

@mrblock2013 just barely. theres a mark under the hood where the air cleaners wing-nut rubs against sometimes, but thats also only because I've got some flashy bowtie wing-nut. with a normal one it would be fine. close fit thought for sure.

I belive it. Anyway, congrats on the camaro. I just built a 358 for my camaro and put it in not to long ago, and it was a great feeling when she fired for the first time. I have a smile on my face everytime i start it still to this day

[aleks6989]

@MKerp141 yup, I'm at school now so the only time I get to start her is when i come home every now and then, still makes me happy, i sit there just idling for like 20 minutes ha. but i missed alot of stuff when i was building it and learned from my mistakes, i guess it was kinda the point. I've already got another build planned out for after i graduate.

0.60 over would it a 360. 0.40 over is a 358

[aleks6989]

@MKerp141 I suppose you're right, I dunno how I calculated it before but it comes out to 360.422 cu.in. however, if we're going to be particular about displacement, it turns out that 40 thou over is 356.88 cu.in. not 358.
