Hey welcome back, I'm Chuck Hanson and the last time that you saw me, I was over there
in that show car area there, showing you a 66' 4 door Impala.
Now that thing if you remember had a wicked twin turbo LS motor under the hood and you
might also remember that I promised to show you some new hardware that Holley has developed
specifically for the LS motors, now check this out.
This is Holley's modular Hi-Ram style intake manifold here and well it's made with their
90 millimeter throttle body.
Now you don't have to buy this thing separately but it does come with fuel rails already attached
to the intake manifold.
Now your wondering why it's modular, well check it out, this whole top of the intake
manifold can actually be removed and you can bolt up a carburetor base up there and let
your LS motor actually run on carburetors.
Now over here this is one of my favorite parts that Holley's brought out lately, in fact
this thing is a coil pack cover.
What it does, it covers those coil packs that are attached to the top of the valve cover
and it gives it a really cool big block look, you can paint these things here, and just
go ahead and match the engine, this one here I think needs to be painted Chevrolet orange
so it looks like a real big block, I really like these pieces.
Now if we go further on down here your going to see that they have Hooker headers also,
these things are available for late models, and also they've developed a whole series
of headers here for the LS engine to go in early muscle cars for those guys that like
to do the engine swaps.
Now I know you LS guys like to go fast, but here's something that's going to help you
go even faster, check it out, that's a Nitrous Oxide system that's been specifically engineered
to work with the LS motors, now here's something else that will probably put my job in a little
bit of jeopardy but I'm going to show it to you any way, don't tell any body.
These valve covers here are prototypes, they haven't even been released yet, but if you
check it out, these are fully polished, now they're going to come in some other colors
and they haven't told me all the secrets yet but here's what I can see, the coil packs
you loose that ugly mounting bracket there and these things mount directly to the valve
covers just gives you a whole lot cleaner look, the coil packs are nice and secure,
and hey what's better than that?
Now you might have missed some of this stuff here but I'll tell you what, if you did, you
can always find all the information you want by going to Holley.com.
Wow now this, this is my new most favorite reading material, this is Holley's LS engine
catalog and it's got all the hardware that they make for the new LS engine, including
the engine swap stuff, now they've spent a lot of time engineering these products so
that it'll make it easy for you to install an LS engine in your muscle car and that's
what I've got planned in my near future.
Now I want you to take a look at this oil pan over here, this oil pan has been configured
with a fairly short sump here and also a deep scalp that's going to allow it to clear virtually
any cross member and just get rid of that complication all together, and of course the
oil pan comes with the right pick up here and a windage tray that's going to help you
keep a little bit of oil off of your crank shaft and give you a few more horse power,
but this, this is what really makes it happen.
These are Holley's engine plates, now this will allow you to bolt that LS engine up to
your stock frame rails, but they've gone even better than that though.
They've come up with several different designs here that will allow you to go ahead and position
that engine forward and back in your engine compartment, make it suitable for your best
application.
Now it's no secret that Holley was put on the performance map with their fuel delivery
systems and towards that end, well their always developing new products that will help you
go faster, more reliably and look good at the same time, for instance check out these
new fuel pumps here.
What we got here is Holley's HP inline billet fuel pump here and what's really cool about
this is, it's either compatible with EFI, or carburated applications, plus you can sync
this thing into the tank, take advantage of the cooling if that's what you need.
Now down here we've got this monster, check it out it's twice as big as the other one
which means obviously there are 2 pumps in here and you can wire them up for maximum
delivery or you can wire them singularly and kick them in in stages as the boost comes
on.
Of course they've developed compatible fuel filters and regulators, and if you need more
about these fuel systems here, hey, go to Holley.com.
Now you might remember what I told you about this guy here marching to a different drummer,
well check out his back window here.
This is his interpretation of a hybrid vehicle, it burns gas and rubber.
Well, what do you say we take a look at some of the Holley carburetors that put them on
the map.
Look who I found here, this is Bill Tichenor, he's the director of marketing for Holley.
Now I've never seen this carburetor before Bill, what is this?
This is our new Ultra HP carburetor, the reason you haven't seen it is it's only just been
released in the last couple of weeks, the HP carburetor has been Holley's staple race
carburetor for a couple of decades now, winning more races than any other and so we decided
to make it better, and how do you do that?
With a lot of little changes that add up to one big improvement in carburation.
Terrific.
What we've got Chuck is new fuel bowls with 20 percent more fuel capacity so there's no
starvation going on, they are higher RPMs, we're running out of fuel, 20 percent more
capacity in the bowls, inside the bowls we have baffles cast in so when your launching
or your cornering in a circle track situation, the fuel's not sloshing around.
Fuel slosh, yeah.
Not uncovering the jets, your not making the float do crazy things and then glass sight
windows, improved flow into the inlet, we've even contoured all up in the middle of here
to really ink out every bit of flow we can, there's a fuel trough that is in the bottom
of the bowl, so it directs the fuel right to the jet, keeps the jet covered in fuel
better, we've even put in a intergraded drain plug, that makes it easy to take off your
bowl and change your jets.
That makes it really neat, now you don't have to take one of those bowl screws out and throw
an old.
Now another big feature, this thing is all aluminum.
I felt that when I picked it up.
38 percent weight savings, which is huge on a race car, get it off the top of your engine,
let you take it off totally or put where ever else you want to in the circle track environment,
billet metering blocks, billet base plate for strength and integrity.
You know talking about the billet base plate, I noticed these holes are elongated here.
Yep that allows it to fit a 4150 or fit a 4500 Holley style flange.
Smart thinking.
Also on the throttle body we have adjustor screws and this is even a secondary throttle
adjustment screw and on the primary they're there as well so no more getting the screw
driver out.
Just get in there and turn it with your fingers.
If you notice the linkage, all race linkage no more tangs no more street elements on it.
Oh I like that, that's solid.
Adjustable secondary screws so you can make this progressive or 1 to 1, really set your
ratio to what ever you want it to be.
That's nice.
On the main body, the air bleeds have been moved out of the air stream to give you better
air flow, if you'll even see, we've contoured this hex head squirter screw so everything
just works to the maximum.
Like you said, a whole lot of small changes add up to one huge improvement.
So this is going to be a great piece, it's, I mean, if your a racer and you want to go
racing check out this finish, this is our hard core grey finish, this is hard anodized.
I was going to comment on that, I have never seen that finish before, I like it, it's cool.
It's serious, I mean it's there for corrosion protection but it looks good as well, so can't
wait to have more and more guys running them.
Now are these available to consumers now?
Yep they are available in this hard core grey, they're also available in a clear aluminum
with red and black billet metering blocks.
Alright good deal, well listen, since you've got these things in the distribution pipe,
I'm going to just take this one with me.
If you can fit it in your pocket you can have it.
I got big pockets.
Ok.
Well that about wraps it up for this episode of Holley TV, now if you stick around I'm
going to be back later on to show you all kinds of other cool stuff from Holley but
right now, hey I've got a carburetor to bolt on.
