Re: FIRST fuel injection setup for Vortec heads
Right now it's installed in a '87 Monte Carlo SS.
I just finished up a TPI swap in this car last summer using a stock TPI setup and a SD Howell Harness with a '730 ECM, and then decided to try out the FIRST this year as my motor was being choked above 4000 RPMS with the stock TPI.

Re: FIRST fuel injection setup for Vortec heads
Bump. Off the car and ready to be shipped out!
The intake manifold still has a little bit of RTV on it as I didn't want to get too aggressive in scraping it off, but the mounting surfaces are 95% clean of the old gaskets and RTV. Also, I modified the throttle cable bracket by tacking on two extensions as my stock TV cable wasn't long enough, but they're easily removable if need be, although anyone running a stock TV cable will probably have the same issue. Otherwise everything looks as it does in the photos of it installed above.
Updated pictures will be posted hopefully tonight, but the intake is in close to new condition.

Re: FIRST fuel injection setup for Vortec heads
Bump. Would also consider trades for a Vortec HSR plus cash, although I'd prefer a local sale for that.

Re: FIRST fuel injection setup for Vortec heads
Pictures of the intake off the car:
It’s a little dusty from sitting on a shelf the last week, but will clean up nice. You’ll notice that there’s a little bit of RTV and gaskets left on the intake as I didn’t want to get too aggressive taking everything off as stated earlier.

Re: FIRST fuel injection setup for Vortec heads
I've never even heard of this manifold until now. The fact you can mount the TB on the side is pretty sweet. How does this compare to a stock Chevy TPI?
