Hey,
so I am in the lawn biz in Colorado. My 79 is ultra reliable, and equally slow. So here I am gettn educated on the 400. Not trying to make a race/show truck outa it, just tryn to haul commercial lawnmowers without buying a new diesel. Is that too much to ask?
So I see on Jeg's a Edelbrock ez kit intake/cam/lifters/carb (part #2171pk). Jeg's says I'll get 300 HP with this setup, and its $650. Sounds great. Maybe some headers too. Still under my budget of $1,000.
might do bottom end next winter...
Do you think the EZ kit addresses the cam timing issue?
can I rip out all that dumb spahgetti smog caca?
sure we have Air Care Colorado here, and they are supposed to check for emissions controls.
They missed the fact that I sawed off my Cat a couple years ago. Furthermore it escaped their attention that I do not have a belt on my smog pump!!
So I think I can "dummy up" the truck to pass the visual inspection. I have a feeling that the tailpipe emissions will improve with the edelbrock stuff.
will the the non egr edelbrock parts cause other problems I need to know about? Will I hafta spend buukkuu $$ to resolve it all? Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion...
Anyhoo, thanks for readin, and I have enjoyed the forum as a nuubee spectator..BL
