Who's got there Stealth Ram in yet?

beside the guys who already had them, I m talking about the guys who just got their fuels in, I m going to attempt to slap mine on this weekend hopefully. I got to wait for my buddy, he's going to do the fuel lines. I m just seeing, cause I almost got everything to do the swap, I just got to get a waterneck, and my stuff for the fuel lines. I already drilled out my intake, and got the spaces, So how is everyone else coming along? I might do it some time this week, It depends on how busy my friend is.

Alright I got my waterneck, I got it off a v6 monte, it was a 4.3, It fits perfect, It's alittle mucked up, but I m cleaning it up. I could have got one out of the store, but their all chrome. I m not to big of a fan of chrome, So I just snacthed one out of the junkyard, for like 5 bucks, I want it to look alittle stock when I'm done. Well anyone else getting their's or is ready to go yet?

I've got mine installed, but I had to go back to school before I could fire it up. My brother got it running and took it around the block but it died on him, so I get to figure out whats wrong this weekend.

I cant wait to take the thing for a spin with the stealth ram. the TPI was such a horrible mismatch for the cam thats in there.

Yeah I know what your saying there it kinda of sucks that there already on backorder, I m just glad that I got everthing to get mine on. I talk to my buddy and he said that next weekend project Stealth Ram will be a go! Yeah like I said before I can do everything, but the fuel lines, I m not to keen on cutting my fuel lines. Hey by the way has anyone one thought of this, if it could work. Well instead of cutting your fuel lines to reroute them to the back of the intake, how about switching the fittings to the front of the fuel rails. So you can use your stock location, so that all you have to do is get them ran to the front of the intake, maybe get some new fittings and like 4inch steel tubeing bent to connect to it. Do you guys know what Im saying, do you think it would work. Cause the fuel rails are set up so that you can put fittings at either end. So guys let me know what you think.

anything is possible........i'm not even using the stealthram fuel rail kit

i have 2 feet of fuel rail that i'm going to drill for the injectors and tap the ends for 3/8" NPT

i'm running an external aeromotive regulator and this is much cheaper than Holley's solution

i'm assuming the 16mm is for the feed 3/8" side and the 14mm is for the 5/16" return side?

only reason i'm asking is because i'm going to run -8 feed and -6 return and i found a 16mm/1.5 to male -8an and just want to be sure

thanks

Mark it wouldn't be that hard.....i could have it on and running for you in a day. For you though, i'd order both the fuel kits and the manifold. You dont need to go through what i'm doing.

Also, i would look into the LT1 intake conversion for you because the stealth ram is REALLY backed up right now and you probably wont see it until at least the fall

Jasper,
hey I m took some pics tonight of the stuff that you ll need to do the swap, but my girlfriends camera batterys died, so I have to wait till tomorrow to upload them.(when the batterys are charged), I have all the parts accept for the fuel line stuff. I just put a pic of all the hardstuff to find. Not hard but stuff that I haven't seen before. I ll post it as soon as I can get the battery's charged, and find somewhere to upload too.

well here is some of the unforseen parts that are needed, this is a waterneck from a 4.3 monte, the adaptors/spacers, and the pipe fittens need to work. [img]http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=40398250&photoID=40401185&security=DodmXX[\img]
