Injection Base
The Hilborn RAW “Race-And-Win” Injector is the classic racing unit for the standard Gen 1 small-block Chevy. These base intake manifolds fit small-block Chevy engines with ’55-86 262-400 or ’87-91 L98 Corvette-type cylinder heads, providing mounting for both RAW Hilborn mechanical and electronic stack fuel injection. The Hilborn EFI-R injector manifold kits combine the technology of electronic fuel injection with the racing-born performance and aggressive looks of individual-runner engine induction.

Two-Side Tacking
Design Engineering’s (DEI) Adhesive Transfer Tape is a very aggressive, pressure-sensitive, double-sided tape designed to bond substrates while maintaining a high tack level. Use it to attach heat and sound barrier materials without the need for a spray adhesive. Available in single- or dual-roll packs, the tape measures 3 inches wide and comes in 32-foot lengths. Providing a high-strength, long-term bond, it can be used for scrim reinforcement, as it resists water, condensation, and aging. It is temperature-resistant from -22 to 248 degrees F.
For more information, contact DEI by calling (800) 264-9472 or visit designengineering.com.
High-Lift LS Springs
High-lift camshafts for LS engines are more the norm than the exception these days. Cams rated around 0.600 to 0.625 inches of valve lift are all over the place. You’ll need a good set of valvesprings to run one of those cams. Summit Racing Pro LS High-Lift Valve Springs are an inexpensive way to extend the engine’s operating range by around 1,000 rpm. The springs are a drop-in replacement for factory springs and come in sets of 16.

Speedway Motors’ second-gen F-body front sway bar kit features a 38.6-inch long 4130 chromoly steel splined antiroll bar that is 1.25 inches in outside diameter.
