B & M – B & M Holeshot 3000, 20413 (Part No.20413)

B & M Holeshot 3000, 20413

from

$921.99
This Holeshot 3000 fits 1965-91 GM TH400, 425, 375 and 1968-81 TH350, 375B (not 350C). Holeshot torque converters are for serious-minded performance enthusiasts and offer additional strength and durability features not found in our Tork Master or Traveler series of converters. The Holeshot 3000 converter is an excellent choice for vehicles with some performance engine modifications, particularly big cams that tend to reduce low-end power and torque. The higher stall speed of this converter will launch the car in a higher rpm range where more torque is readily available, resulting in quicker acceleration. Holeshot converters feature furnace brazed impeller fins and turbine, new precision alloy impeller hub and new heavy duty needle bearings. Other features include fully balanced and pressure tested by expert technicians. If your vehicle is equipped with a plate type nitrous system or supercharger, please refer to the Nitrous Holeshot line of converters. Notes: Stall speed listings are based on engines producing 230lb. ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm. More torque at 2,500 rpm will give you more stall speed, less torque at 2,500 rpm will give you less stall speed than the stall speed ratings indicated. Higher stall converters can generate more heat, so we highly recommend adding a transmission cooler. This converter is Not recommended for supercharged, plate-type nitrous oxide or trans-brake applications. The product images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product. Has both 10.75 and 11.50-inch bolt circles.

Crank sprockets are made from billet SAE-1144 steel and induction heat treated. Four Performer-Link sets are stock replacement parts and 50-state legal (see listings in bold type).

Performer roller chain sets are engineered to operate up to 6500 rpm. Never hammer directly on chain or sprockets. You can crack the hardened links and pins and cause early failures. Use a sleeve for installations that require hammering, a brass drift punch may be used if you carefully alternate blows on either side of the sprocket to avoid cocking. Never stretch the chain with a screwdriver. Check for clearance between the timing chain and block and between the chain and front cover before reassembly. Be sure that both cam and crank sprockets are exactly in line with each other. Misalignment can cause chain to break.

This intake manifold provides maximum performance for engines with standard port location, iron and aluminum cylinder heads. The low-profile of the #2975 works well in applications with minimal hood clearance and where 1″” or 2″” spacers can be used for performance tuning. When carb spacers are not allowed, the #2999 should be used. The Edelbrock Victor Jr. #2975 is a single-plane, high-rise intake designed for maximum race-winning power at higher engine speeds.”

Edelbrock – Edelbrock Intake Manifold Gasket, 7215 (Part No.7215)

Edelbrock Intake Manifold Gasket, 7215

from

$54.99
Edelbrock part No: 7215 Intake Gaskets for 1958-1986 E-Tec 200 Small-Block Chevy allow for optimum flow and performance. Any gasket can create a seal, but a good gasket can do it with less clamping force, and for a longer period of time. The new MP-2N Micropore technology does not use solvents making our gaskets environmentally friendly. Impervious to most chemicals, this synthetic fiber composite provides a high recovery under load. This means that when compressed, the gasket will conform to any imperfections on the sealing surface even using lower flange pressures. A nitrile bead around each port opening makes the seal even better.
