Big Block Headers in a 85 z/28

[miked24]

Hey guys do any of you ever had any dealing with putting a big block in a 3rd gen camero? if so what headers did you use? I'm not wanting to build any I would like to just buy them and install but I'd like to have a good set. My engine will be ready from the machine shop wed. and would like to have it installed asap... I'm hoping when i get back from Denver I can give you guys some dyno numbers on it..

I'v heard of a couple of my customers that did this.
shouldn't be too much trouble.

Thanks for the offer but my usual luck always a second to late and a dollar to short...... I hope this build isnt to much trouble but even if it is I want it to scream (as far as street application goes) so we are gonna make it go..... got torch and welding machine in hand now all we gotta do is make it look professional. Next after all the engine work we gotta spray sum new paint thinkin cobalt blue with silver striping what u guys think???????????

Hey Mike, I was trying to sell you a crank and a new set of "H" Bearings when you asked for one on the forum and you were not to late or a dollar short. I sold the crank and bearings for more on rj right after i told you about it. I was only trying to help save you some money. The crank was no joke and if you did't like that one i had a better crank with no bearings cheaper and better than the one you bought, So that said i have another deal thats good. I have a jesel belt drive set up just for you that has everything you need to install, even the belt,seals are good and i will let you have it for $550.00 Plus the shipping. If you want to buy it let me know. I stand by everything i sell so if somebody has a problem i tell them send it back and i'll give back the money. I try and treat everybody the way i want to be treated. I dont sell junk! Just (racingjunk) LOL.

OOOO I didnt mean that u sold junk man. I appologize if it came across that way. I thought it was turned .10 / .10 everything else was new so i just decided to get a new crank. sorry bro didnt mean any harm. I have a new double roller chain and gears already thnx for the offer........ thats a nice lookin car Dragonmaster. thanks for the post

I just wanted to bust your balls. :lol: :lol: :lol: The one crank was std with the bearings and the hank the crank was 10-10. Dont take me to seriously just having a little fun with ya so i hope everything working out ok.

But i did sell it right after i talked to you. I have lost alot of money on that build so i was just trying save you a little money so you had some for the little things you might need. Good luck!

[miked24]

lol np well I guess i should have done a lil more research on the lower end of my engine. the machine shop called and said that the throws on the crank are hitting the piston skirt. so now i gotta buy another set of pistons and rods. the rods i was gonna use were in the engine when i got it and were fine but with that crank they wont work, they are to short. so now im needing 6.385 in. rodswas lookin at these ESP-63853D at summit. And these pistons UEM-IC781-040 tell what you guys think are if you have sum new ones with these same specs for sale let me know.
