  • @EpicToadRage
    @EpicToadRage Год назад +1

    Carb sizing is based on math.
    (Cubic inches × max rpm) ÷ 3456 (if you're running a V8. 3456, though looking ike a funny number, is the conversion for cubic inches to cubic feet, and for 8 cylinders)
    5.3L is 334 cubic inches
    Google says you can take a 5.3 to 6000rpm.
    So, (324 × 6000) ÷ 3456 = 562.5
    So, at 6000rpm, the MOST cubic feet of air a NA 5.3L can move is 562.5. But, no motor runs at 100% volumetric efficiency, so we assume 80%.
    562.5 × 80% = 450.
    So, carb selection for a 5.3L is 450cfm to 570cfm. Any smaller will choke the engine, and any larger will give a weak signal to the venturis, causing the engine to stumble when going from idle to WOT.

    By far the best thing to do on a street driven vehicle is buy a high or mid rise dual plane. Then when you go to the track install your 1 or 2 inch open spacer. This will help that dual plane act more like a single plane for the track. And it takes 10 minutes. On the LS motors the single planes absolutely kill low and mid range torque.

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  Год назад

      The engine should drop right in using the camaro transmission if it's a V8. You would need an adapter flexplate and spacer for the torque converter and adapter plates for the motor mounts but aside from that, the rest should be easy. Run the factory EFI harness, order a flashed PCM for like $150, install a high pressure fuel pump, install fuel injection rated lines, corvette return style regulator and you're basically done. Going carbureted might be easier but it is more expensive

    • @NightWrencher

      Hey man, you would have to go through HP tuners and creat a custom speed density tune that would ignore the fuel injectors and run spark only. You would also have to run a compatible TPS on the carburetor in order to run the electronic trans. Its not hard but its not that easy either. If you dont use the stock computer, youll have to run a trans controller for the 4L60 instead. Hope this helps

    How do you keep the engine from overheating with no fan shroud?

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  3 года назад +1

      It actually runs pretty flawless, the key is in a modest tune. Not too rich not too lean. The engine is iron block but with aluminum heads, slightly rich tune and the radiator is larger than the stock one for that engine so I havnt had any issues even on a hot day like today in uphill traffic. I'm planning to make a nice shroud, just need to make sure it clears everything. I had the engine over heat once but that was because the fan clutch that came with the junkyard engine stopped working and wouldnt kick on anymore

    Hi Nightwrencher!
    I have a bit of a complex question regarding bypass fuel regulator. I have a 1993 foxbody that was originally a 4 cylinder, putting in a carb'd LM7. I've got the stock mustang in tank fuel pump and stock fuel lines. From my research the stock mustang fuel pump puts out somewhere between 55-90 LPH. Can I use the aeromotive 13301 bypass regulator? Or do I have to get the overpriced Aeromotive EFI to Carb dual stage regulator 13220

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  10 месяцев назад +1

      It honestly depends on the size of the return line and how much fuel the fuel pump puts out. Ive ran pressure regulators that would work fine on some fuel pumps pump get conpletely over powered on other fuel pumps. According to the parts book, the 1993 4cyl mustang has an 18gph pump at 51psi so the 13301 should work fine on that application

      Because the transmission is computer controlled on efi ls engines. When you go carb, the aftermarket ignition modules dont have built in trans controllers so you either have to go with a non computer controlled trans like the 700r4, th350, th400, etc or find a trans controller that works with the trans you want to use or convert the newer trans to use a manual valve body.

Total it up and see if its worth it for you to pay that and also buy a wideband and learn carb tuning because no carb is perfect out of the box. I have over 30 videos on just carb tuning alone that you will have to learn if you want everything to work right. If you have something that came factory with an efi LS like a silverado or camaro, leave it alone, you will only make it run worse with a carb I guarantee it.

      The dual plane and mid rise intake single plane have only only a .060" inch difference in height. The hi rise or super victor are way taller so a dual plane with your edelbrock carb is as low as it can go. They make low profile air cleaners so maybe itll fit.

    How do you make the speedo work on an older vehicle with the carb ls swap in it?

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  3 года назад +1

      Depends on the trans but if you don't have a trans that is compatible with the stock speedo you'll need to buy an aftermarket gauge and either wire up the electronic speed sensor or find a conversion cable that works with your factory mechanical speedo.
