A PSA on shaft orientation would be comical!
I hope I didn't offend anyone, that was not my intention.

Not at all.....I was just worried about posting pics on how to install a shaft... :toothy9:

Good news thanks for that.
On another note took it out for test drive. Everything running beautifully. That 625 cfm street demon has great throttle response. Only things I have left, is an air cleaner and rigging the cruise cable.
I'll post a useless vid later.

Not at all here.
Last time I messed with shaft rockers was the H/C/I swap on the '84 w150 in 2001 or so. All magnums or magnum headed LA's since then.

Night and day of course in comparison to the stock intake/2bbl. I like the Street Demon's throttle response with those small primaries. Real nice cruise and no doubt when those big secondaries open on kickdown. It's still running through the stock log manifolds. I'll switch to headman tight tubes in a couple months. I missed Jasper's set of Tight Tubes he was selling by a few weeks...lol.
Topped it with an Edelbrock proflow for now.

Nice....I await the next useless video with headers.
Or maybe the one where you can crack those secondaries open for a bit. :glasses9:

Nice video. Looks like it cruises pretty good to me. Although a little foot metal never hurts Lol:icon_thumright:

I only tuned the carb by ear. I still need to get a vac gauge on it and also check what the timings set at. I just marked the distributor to block position and reinstalled.
My better half said prior to the swap, "I thought you weren't going to tear it apart." I replied, "An intake/carb swap is not tearing it apart, only tinkering." I got the big rolleyes and head shake, when she saw me carrying the stock 2bbl intake into the garage.

If you happen to get yours done before mine, it will be interesting to see how it runs, because that's similar-ish to what my first setup will be. Main exception being I have the 302 heads. But same rear with 2.94 Sure Grip, at least until I get the 4.10 8.75 SG rear done.

I have a set of stock rebuilt #302's on the '84 W150 4bbl, 3.21 SG. Combined with the Summit 6900 cam it does very well.
I will probably stay with the 2.94's in the Mirada. It will see no seriuos track time. I live out in the sticks, so I highway drive more than stop and go city driving (70% Highway at 50-65 mph/30% city stop and go) if that makes sense.
60 mph/2.94 gear/27" Tire/1.00 trans final gear = Approximatley a 2200 rpm cruise. Not factoring in the lock-up which will lower the cruise rpm.
So Mirada's combination will be matched to this. I am really interested in the Fast EZ-EFI and am leaning toward it for the Mirada. The Aspen will stay carbuerated.
