Kevin, I just might be able to do that... I want to see how this set come out first. I may need to buy another truck just to do mock ups on, once this one is running.

How about more information on that injection manifold? That is an interesting piece.





It's a tunnel ram base with a fabricated plenum and a Ford Cobra throttle body.

I finished fitting all of the primary pipes. Now I just need to get the collectors, reducers and flanges.

Nice progress , Not sure if I would have the courage to tackle that job, and besides, if I did the cost of steel would go up, trade balance would plumment, and, steel scrap prices would drop, from all the discarded steel tubing I would throw out in the process


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I finished the headers on saturday and installed them . I am going to modify the trans crossmember for extra clearance for the dual exhaust. The prototype master cylinder brake booster eliminator adapter is finshed too :

Wow, and I thought I had clearance troubles? You REALLY had a tight squeeze!
Impressive that you could fit four pipes through there!!!!


Any full vehicle pics??

You did a good job tucking them up under the chassis. The cross member does look like a minor issue, but if you can make headers, you can trim that!

The truck is for me, for a daily driver. It'll be easier to park than the dually. Of course, I'll have to take it to the track to see what it will do.
