Re: POR-15 vs powdercoating was Re: [Chevelle-list] Motor Mounts
Kyle, Not to but in on your emails but the place I went to today said that I could have the frame blasted, powerdercoated and misc pieces done too for $300-$400. I hope that comes to be true because I am counting on it! Ryan
Re: POR-15 vs powdercoating was Re: [Chevelle-list] Motor Mounts
is that a common price for all that you had done. I thought it would of been a LOT more than that. I've heard friends tell me stuff like 8 or 9 hundred for the frame alone.

Re: POR-15 vs powdercoating was Re: [Chevelle-list] Motor Mounts
Mike, I went to a local place today that does the blasting and powder coating of frames etc... I would have to agree with you that the powder coat is much nicer. Not to mention, all that work with those results is well worth paying $300 and not having to do it yourself. Thanks again for the reply and as always any advice is always welcome!! Thanks Ryan

Re: [Chevelle-list] Air Gap Intake
hey tom not sure about the intake I never stray from the stock, the cooler the air coming in is always better, for the open road use, you need to run lean for long drive,and rich when you race,that's the golden rule, if you want the best of both world like so many of us do, the tune is the most important part, they sell those tuner just install the sensor in the exhaust, it take all the guess work out of mixture setting to conditions at hand, cost around 80 bucks, and will save your gas and keep your engine at peak performance year around, you can spend more on these devices, but I still like to get under the hood, and turn the screws, go with a high volume pump. as for the finish you speak of never heard of it, but if apply my professional, you cant go to wrong. rick
RE: [Chevelle-list] Air Gap Intake
Sucking in cool air is not counter-productive. Cooler air = denser air. Denser air = more oxygen per unit of volume. More oxygen means you can add more fuel and make a bigger bang in the combustion chamber, yielding more power. While you are right to an extent that the air might pick up some temperature in the manifold, (thus making it less dense), it’s still better off than starting with hot air and making it even hotter. It’s the same principle with using an intercooler on a turbocharged or supercharged engine – cool off the air entering the engine. As for the oil pump, definitely do not use a high volume pump on a stock pan. You can find all sorts of horror stories of people sucking the oil pan dry at higher RPMs. Match a high-volume pump with a high volume pan. With that said, I believe you could a run a higher pressure than stock, but I’m not sure what the advantages are. The only drawback with high volume oil pans are the extra cost of oil during an oil change, and ground clearance. I personally would not want a pan that hangs lower than the crossmember on a street driven vehicle. I run a stock pump (Melling M55, I think) and stock pan on my car and drag race it regularly. I usually shift at 5700 RPM and have not had an oil related failure in the 15 years I’ve been racing. The stock Chevy oiling system is pretty good. The rule of thumb is typically 10 psi of oil pressure for every 1000 RPM, although I’ve never seen 50+ psi on my pressure gauge (warm) . It’s usually around 40-45 at speed, low 20s at idle. I run 10W-30 oil. I have a non-air-gap RPM. I live in northern Ohio and never had problems starting my car in cold weather, ie – in the 30s. It might take a minute or two of fast-idle before it would idle with no choke, but it was never hard to start. As for the air-gap versus non-air-gap, I don’t think there is a huge difference in performance. I seem to remember reading an engine buildup recently where they tested them and the difference was nil (less than 10 horsepower), but I’ll defer to others on that, as I can’t remember the source. -Dave From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Tomlinson Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 11:06 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Air Gap Intake When I bought my '66 Elky, it came with a rebuilt 350 that was not quite completed. The engine is from a '70 Camaro, 4 bolt main, bored out to 355ci, high compression (10:1?), 2.02 heads, and roller rockers. The cam is the one used in the Edelbrock RPM performance package (can't remember the specs), and the intake (not installed yet) is the Edelbrock RPM. Basically, the engine is very similar to the Edelbrock 420HP engine built with the RPM package. Now for the questions. 1) Should I consider the RPM air gap instead of the non-air gap? I would like to get all the performance I can, but I still want it streetable. I've heard that the air gap can be difficult to start, especially in cold weather. I live in NY and won't drive it in the winter, but it will see cool weather in the spring and fall. I am also considering a cowl induction system, and it seems like sucking in cool air just to have it hit a hot manifold is counter productive. Does anyone have experience with the PermaStar finish? 2) The oil pan appears stock. I'm not sure what oil pump is in the engine. Should an engine like this use something better than the stock oil pump and pan? It would be easy to change now since the engine is already on the stand. Thanks for your advice. Tom Tomlinson

RE: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle sighting
Not in a movie, but in the mid 90s, my car was in an Eaton brochure for their aftermarket posi units. Some woman working for a graphic design company hired by Eaton saw a picture of my car on a personal website I used to have when I was in college. They contacted me and I gave them permission to use the image. I was pretty proud of it at the time.. :-) Unfortunately, I have no idea what I did with my 2-3 copies of the brochure. I'm certain I didn't throw them out, but I have no idea where they are at. :-( In years past on this list, I know there were discussions about letting your car be used in a movie. I don't remember the details, but there were lots of legal considerations -- who is going to drive the car, who is liable for any potential damage, etc. It sounded like a lot of hassle for someone who doesn't deal with that stuff on a regular basis. -Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 11:12 AM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle sighting I just bought a used movie from Blockbuster called "Surviving Christmas" (mostly to watch Christina Applegate).

If I remember correct, we covered this area about a year ago. Again, if I remember correct, the general consensus was it's a bad idea.
