So back to stock with the front suspension, hmm... OK, did I mistakenly post in the wrong thread? Honestly, I have never messed around with...
I picked up an early Camaro rear end to use in my 1959 Chevy Apache project. The rear end came with a nice pair of SSBC 4 piston calipers. Up...
Very helpful resource. Thank you!
So you don't even notice the approx. 2" width difference as compared to stock?
Hey folks! I am building a 1959 Chevy Apache pickup (custom, not stock) and am hoping to get a few ideas from those of you who have put a...
May I ask where you obtained the filters? Thanks!
They are all the same diameter. It was probably just the camera angle.
I see why Hilborn placed the upper two holes on their flange where they did. They couldn't place it to line up with the upper holes on the heads,...
Unfortunately, I do not have any lying around.
Thank you for the information - much appreciated. And, supposedly, the '57 heads should be identical to the '58 heads - correct?
You could be onto something. I see there was also a T395A option in addition to the FI for the 370 in 1958. I bet the Hilborn unit was intended...
Thank you for the photos! The attached image is comparing your 6x2 manifold to my Hilborn. We can see that where I scribed the black circle from...
Thank you very much for taking time to post the photo. I don't think Hilborn stamped the number in error. I have seen a couple of these and the...
Fel-Pro gasket # MS9498SH1 You can see it covers two holes on the head but matches the intake ports correctly. Using a felt marker, I scribed...
OK, thank you.
Very nice ride! I will keep an eye out for your photos. Thanks!
I agree. I bet they moved it, but how on earth did they expect someone to install it on the engine it was designed for? I wonder if they offered...
OK, so I am determined to get to the bottom of the mis-aligned bolt hole issue. While I realize '56-'60 heads are supposed to be interchangeable,...
Out of curiosity, does anyone know which Hilborn pump was used with the 347-P-8 unit?
Yes, thank you. I have been chatting with him about this. Very helpful.
Yes, the angle would definitely need to be changed, but should be pretty easy to accomplish. I should be able to supply the dimensions/drawings.
Correct. I do not have the stock intake for the 370. A fresh set of intake gaskets are on the way. I will take photos and post when I have the...
So you were on to my plan... ;-) I figure if I let the NOS unit go, it would end up on a drag car instead of a museum, so I may as well be the one...
Thank you. I will give it a shot.
Well, this may be a cringeworthy comment, but I planned on having Fran over at Fox Injection convert it to a streetable EFI unit and run it in my...
Solid advice. Thank you. Unfortunately, my 370 didn't come with an intake manifold. I am heading to the shop later this morning, so I will have a...
Thank you for the excellent resource! I didn't have that one. According to my casting numbers on the Hilborn unit and my heads, this thing...
What I have been able to determine at this point, is that Hilborn made the 347-P-8 in 1957 for the Pontiac 347 engine. I have a 1958 Pontiac 370...
Nope. Just the casting number (528511), which lines up with their '58 run.
That's mighty nice of you to offer, but I think I am going to do a little bit more research first ;-)
