Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
You're absolutely right....no excuses. Lol....well it is kinda purty and would look great next to the fireplace. But I'll need an engine stand No idea on the oil. Haven't asked.
As you can see this beautiful engine is the focal point of my entire house. *golf clap* Now in this room there is a portrait over the fire place of me next to my beautiful engine.Just run some gas station oil special should be fine right?

ha ha.
I was just curious, I am starting to notice that engine rebuilders are recommending people use Brad Penn oil even if the car has a roller cam. My work is a distributor for them and I am trying to decide if we should be stocking full synthetic. Right now we stock synthetic blend in multiple different weights, break in oil, gear oil, and grease.
In the next few months I want to become a sponsor here to sell oil, car jackets, brake pads, and a handul of other things.
Valve covers are already off....black ones are on (also a place holder) until the "real" ones show up. M&G is a no ah-ah....focusing on Power Tour....and that will be stretch.
REALLY stuck in what to do next. I cant believe I have never had anyone answer what the distance is from valley cover to the bottom of the cowl. With all the fbodies and intake swaps that have ever occured, no one seems to be able to answer it. Crazy....
That dimension dictates what happens next....though I have a feeling I know the answer. Lol, you'd think I would have found it over the last 18months, but wanted to have the engine here to measure the distance first hand. Anyway, I gain an extra inch in cutting the wiper tray, subsequently losing the passenger side wiper....no biggie but would rather not if I didnt have to. Intake is 8 3/4" from valley to top of the fuel rail. I can throw the k-member and schtuff on, make a roller out of it and ship to the body shop but would rather shim the K a 1/2" or less if that's all I need.
Thoughts?

For some reason, I think that I also gave you that same dimension (8.75in) back in August or so. I'm too lazy to go back and look through the countless posts here!
Just cram the thing up there and see if it clears.

That's what I was "told"....but now I've seen it for myself, I'm convinced. Found from another source, valley to cowl is 7-3/8"....FAST is 7.
