Maybe some pictures of the 455 in the regal

I am about to start my engine after performing an off-frame resto on my 86 regal. It is a 455 and I will post some pics soon. I am kind of stuck with where to place the vacuum lines and heater hose lines.( I am keeping the A/C and heater). Does anybody have any pictures of how they ran their heater hoses and vacuum line. I am using a quadrajet with the edelbrock performer intake. It seems as though there are alot of extra holes on the intake that may or may not be used.? could someone get me some pics. Please.

 

I'll get you some pics soon

 

Thanks, it to that point now where it is starting to go down hill, kind of exciting:TU:

 

I know i sent you pics but I'll post them here too..

:TU:

 

ive posted mine before but i still like seeing it, wish i could post the full size pic

 

I have a holley and a SP1 manifold, the coolant lines should be almost the same, just use plugs for the extra holes in the manifold. The vacuum lines for the transmission, heater controls, and brake booster come from the back of the manifold and back of carb, my vacuum advance comes from a port in the front of the carb, I don't have any good pics of that. If you need pics of the vacuum lines I can take better pics or I'm sure someone else will be glad to help also. :TU:

Nice swaps. I bet those Regals are a blast to drive.

 

It's a BLAST!! :3gears:

 

Those photos are HOT! Any tricks for keeping the A/C?

 

Who needs heat when you have braided lines !!!!

 

It's easy. Just use all the accessories from the 231, they bolt right up. You'll just need longer belts. Also, the high pressure hose will have to be shortened. Gotta love A/C!!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
