| I am putting a cold air intake on my 92 OCC, so my mutt engine will be able to breathe. So, I spent the afternoon relocating my vapor canister under the left front bumper. I used the canister bracket from a 94-96, extended the wiring and the hoses. Now there is room for the airbox where the canister once was. I am reusing the airbox from my 91 when it had a modded 350 in it. The mutt engine is a .030 over 350 with the crank from one Vortec, an LO5 block, L99 cam, Vortec heads from another engine, Weiand intake, 2 shaped adapter plates, and a 46mm TBI. I have the shorty headers and exhausts from the 91 on it as well. There are some quirks that I have to deal with, but that comes with the territory. The headers sit about an inch higher than the LO5 heads, so I can put the O2 sensor in the header bung, instead of the pipe bung. I had to bore out the intake for the shorty distributor, and some lines and hoses are different. I got a new Vortec water pump cheap, but ended up putting 3/8 inch spacers behind it to get the pulley to line up with the LO5 FEAD parts. I should have just used an LO5 pump...no adjustment necessary. | |
