This 350 just got a little less "budget" lol. Dang Summit bargain cave struck again. I could not pass up a full sequential, self learning wideband closed loop port fuel system with a new distributor for $1200.

no kidding!

@L31MaxExpress did you get the mill swapped in yet and running or has it been delayed because of the new intake?
Slight delay. I was starting to work on the harness, rebuilding it from the C100 plug out. Had to pick up a few other odds and ends at Summit this morning. Then I ventured into the bargain cave and walked out with this EFI system.

I cleaned the engine compartment the other day. Changed the motor mount inserts. About to hydroboost swap it as well.

A few weeks and I will have it running and driving. Have to go through the brakes and suspension still too. Going to reseal the TH400 and rear end while I am there as well. I am going to get the ac up and going on it as well before it logs many miles. Already getting warm here in Texas.

I love the Summit bargain cave. I’m lucky enough to have a Summit retail store about a mile from my office. Sometimes I go down there at lunch just to see what is new.
Last time I was there I found an aluminum TH400 pan for $60 and a few other SBC goodies.

They had 4 different single assembled Edelbrock heads for $460 each today. Almost snagged an Etec 200 just to have although they had a 170, a newer 210 E-Street and a Performer head on the shelf as well. They had a really nice pair of AFR CNC LT1 heads as well for like $1500. My Express vans muffler and tailpipe came from there as well as the GMT400 454 JBA long tubes I have for my 8.1L Tahoe. They had a Summit direct fit cat setup for the 1-ton GMT400s there today too with the big 2.75" head pipes.
