L98 engine combo advice needed
Hey guys i want to swap an 89 IROC engine and Harness into my 80 camaro i just got, i know a superram is a must have, what else should be on my list (Heads,Cam....) the camaro has a 3.23 posi rear, looking for a good DD with some at least 300 HP not afraid to spend some cash on it. thanks

well i would spend my money on a cam because the motor is out of the car and it is easier to do and i would get a set of alum heads to go with it
i would look into getting a 12 bolt or a 9" if you plan on putting the gas on the car
dads 94 z28 we blew up the 10bolt with the best parts that were out there
so we went to a 9" and i am getting a 12bolt at xmas
and a good converter would be something i would get say around a 3000 or 3400

You can get that much power out of a stock L98 with a carb and a cam change. Or, for a few coins, some other FI system such as a MiniRam that costs less, gives more power, and is easer to maintain.
"Some cash".... what kind of a budget do you have?

Do a google on LT1 intake and check out the website where a guy is converting the LT1 intakes to work with a distributor. They have a dyno video of a GTA with a 350 with a cam, headers and catback making 299 hp and 353 torque at the wheels.
That is, if you want to keep the FI

I want to keep it F/I i am sick of carbs, have a budget of about 4g+ to work with and i do most of the labour intensive stuff myself that cuts down on costs.

Geeez....that's over a grand for the intake and the fuel rails.
You can get an LT1 intake and fuel rails drilled for a distributor for like 400 and get almost the same amount of HP increase.
