SMALL BLOCK CHEVY 240SX BUILD (400 Cubic Inch/Carbed)

Justin Banner · 11-24-2009, 03:24 PM

I'm going to be using a 600CFM Edelbrock carb on my build. Stadium and other off road trucks use carb.s and see more sloshing than a drift car will.

I didn't realize Hampton stayed with a carb. Just had some concerns- that's all.

I do remember some offroad vehicles having issues with floats spilling over. Maybe it depends on how the floats are hung.

Glad to hear it works Banner.

I haven't built it yet. Just got the chassis Sunday. I'll have the engine by just after Christmas.

The engine is a Target Master 350 C.I. that's .040" over and has around 20,000 miles on it. It's also got Z28 valve springs and a hotter cam than an R.V. I think I'll hit 350HP with ease.

Yeah, I was able to get 400hp out of the last 350ci I built using Vortec heads and a decent cam. You can contact me further if you need any help. The best part was how little it cost.

I've been running a 750 Holley for two years now on my Malibu with no trouble.

Those Hookers look kinda familliar... Are they Impala SS LT1 headers? Also, let us know how that EFI works, will you? I have a buddy who's REALLY interested in putting one of those systems on his car. Thanks!

hi Mark!

I have like 3000 miles on the car with the motor in it, been driving it all year. I am just doing an ignition swap and EFI conversion.

Those are impala headers yes
