Almost there

Almost there.

Injectors and oil pump pickup shows up friday. That completes the block. Then I gotta cut up the car a little for the intercooler plumbing, and make all that work.

Prolly be running in a few weeks at most.

Scroll down to page 25 of the file. Note that the plenum and water jackets are raised off of the base.

Maybe next time?

Thats a sexy manifold! Wonder what the cost is on that one .

I had good luck with the holley I fabbed last season, so I'll keep it around until I get sickof it. It's a bit on the ugly side, b ut picked up 10mph over the TPI.

Yikes. Thats expencive.

I think i'd rather get a carb version of the same intake and mod it myself, assuming it was much cheaper.

But in any event, i'll keep using my holley or now. Its just a 1205 port, but it works well with the blower.
