After looking into headers for a small block mopar(all along I figured I would be making my own anyway),I will start with a set of small block chevs.
So these are what I started with.
They needed stretched at the out side tubes,the centers were good.

After stretching them,I cut off the flanges,shaped the tubes to fit a set of mopar flanges,now I have them tacked into place,set to weld them up(need to get stainless wire).

All the major fab work is done now a lot of small details.
Installed the oil cooler,finished mounting master cylinder and lines,mounted the fuel cell.

oil cooler.jpg
Due to its location it should still get a good amount of air through it but not restrict airflow to the intercooler and radiator.

fuel cell.jpg
Not my first choice but it was here and free.

just need to bleed the system.

Moving a little slow.
Removed the fuel tank and lines.
Still in the process of cleaning and touching up engine compartment.
Making some wiring changes,mostly cleaning up some of the old unused stock wiring.
Good news is I am the owner of a Fitech 2x4 power adder system.

Thanks for the info. I have been looking at some of the GT45 turbos? I like that intercooler.

Good to hear. I know when I put in my EZ EFI, I had all the wiring isolated. Separate power sources and grounds. I had heard of so many people having problems with installs, and much of it was the way wiring was routed. Glad you found your problem. Interested in seeing your video...

Managed to get a few minutes to work on the truck this weekend,it is running pretty good for sitting in the garage.
Now to figure out the tuning,timing curve and retard,fuel map.
If I can get a dry weekend to put some miles on it.

Hit the road Saturday, ran good,had to tweek it a little,still will need adjustments.
Start up still gives me a little attitude ,have to open throttle a little ,starts up rich,prime set at 50,will keep dropping it.
Put about 2 pounds of boost to it,pulled good ( a little smile),then ? ,it started popping and running rough ,i am thinking bad things,get back to the garage,checked it over,relief, two plug wires came loose and melted on the headers,will not let that happen again.
Now to find out why the afr goes to 19-23 when letting off the thottle(not under boost),seems a little too lean for comfort.

It should go lean when engine braking above about 1200 or so rpm. The injectors turn off.

Made it to the first cruise of the year.
Pleased with how it ran,still will need some tweeking as I go,I am not pushing too hard too fast,but it is pulling good,only put about 3 pounds of boost to it,no obvious lag.

Awesome, Love the color.


Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View
