Default Houston, we have a problem.

On top, the bolt supplied by Edelbrock for the intake. Below, the bolt recommended by summit, ARP 430-2001. Picked them to bling up the intake a bit....they are all WAY too long. What am I supposed to do with them? Looks like Summit gets a call tomorrow.



Here it is, plane as day on the Summit website, they are recommending you use bolts that won't work...


Did some digging, and low and behold, I need 6mm x 1.0, 50mm long bolts instead of 113mm long. Here are some in 12-point. Someone please double check and tell me if this is the part I really needed in the first place.

Also found this AWESOME source of information on misc bolts and parts for GENIII engines.

Default Wheels!

More goodies. A set of used American Racing Torque Thrusts 17 x 9, painted silver gray metalic. Backspacing for 4th gen Camaros. Almost brand new 275/40R17 Khumos up front and 275/40R17 MT ET Drag Radials in the back. Will need to use spacers, but I got such a killer deal that $250 for spacers still makes this super cheep. Front tires are making their way to my 2000 SS though, and if this doesn't work out for my 1970, the whole setup, minus the Drag Radials, will make it onto my '70 and I will go with plan B for the '70. Cragar Soft 8 17" x 8" black steel wheels. Remember, this is Operation Budget LSx.

Just got off the phone with Summit....btw, 5am is THE BEST time to call them. The night crew is very knowledgeable and the wait time is non-existant. I alerted them to the issue and they're going to fix the website and ship me the correct bolts, ARP 770-1007 (2 packs).

Hey Id smile too if I got all those parts! Im watching your build, so that I will get motivated and change out my anchor and go with something lighter. How much weight difference will ther be between the big-block and the LS? Not to mention it will be easier on gas as well.
