Pugsy lookin good man. That Solenoid hasn't shown up yet... I have the feeling he's gonna tell me it's factory backordered lol. I'll let you know for sure. BTW any Vacuum operated GM EGR solenoid should work.

I'm sure you'll find its back ordered.
All the companies that are moving to China at the same time never considered if they would be able to complete all the orders or not. :P   I'm finding more and more stuff back ordered all the time.

I'll go and pull one from the wreckers.

Thanks.

It should.

I gotta make up a set of headers for it. I should pickup about another 20 HP and hopefully 20 FT/LBS of torque. I'm going to use 1-1/2" primaries to 2-1/2" collectors. I will try to keep primaries at 28".

BTW,what kind of torque numbers did you get?

The most important thing on this engine for me is torque. I love to jump off the line quick. ;D

I checked at all the places I went to Sunday and 3 of them said they could get me an EGR the next day for a 1992 TPI Camaro 350.  Want me to get one?

Thanks Chris.The EGR I got,its the EGR solenoid that's back ordered. Its OK now until spring time. We're getting alot of early snow up here. I'll wait till then and see if they come in  and if not I'll let you know.

Thanks again.
