I told ya before Zach, I LOVE this kinda custom stuff!!! You got in there and did something different, took your time and sounds like the beginning of something that is ending awesome! That intake, all cleaned and painted looks great!! I finally got to listen to the videos. Sounds good so far!!! And I love the look of that big monster sized intake!!!

 

Thanks Matt I appreciate it. Hopefully you will get to see the finished product this summer at the W Body meet.
To be honest I wasn't too sure what I was going to be capable of making this into. Like I said I kinda shocked myself. There were times I thought I was way over my head but worked pretty hard and soaked all the info up that I could. I learned a lot. I am sure that won't just stop here.

I love the fact it is different and there wasn't much to follow and making it work makes it feel that much better. I appreciate the kind words Jason. It is really starting to look like it belongs in there to me I love opening the hood and having that big manifold in there.


I did get to drive it a bit today. First impressions are really good. It runs and drives smooth. The throttle is really snappy and responsive. I was limited to in town streets so I didn't go anymore than about half throttle....half throttle is enough to spin the tires going 25 So far I love it. I can't wait to really open it up. I have a feeling it is gonna be a monster.

I got it all washed up. It was really dirty from all the work that has been done out in the garage. I ordered a Covercraft car cover after Christmas I will finally be able to put it on once it drys out from washing it.

However I did find a minor gas leak in one of my AN fittings going to my back fuel rail. I will have to pull the hose off and inspect the fitting and the hose and go from there. It is minor if that is the only trouble I run into I will be pretty happy.

 

took a couple videos during the day. I know lighting was an issue with my last ones.

 

Looks great, very clean install!

Now you just need to get that intake boxed up and you'll be good to go!

 

Thanks Mike. I have a little bit of cleaning up to do. The last bit was kind of rushed to get it running while I had another set of eyes.

I'll see what I can do with the air box... Gonna need some cutting done to fit the new size tubing in there it's almost an inch bigger than stock.

 

Luckily it's still cold enough that you have time to mess around and figure it out

 

Oh yeah that's why I wanted to start as early as I did so I could iron out any issues out I may have. It has gone pretty smooth so far and the really hard work is done. I hate to cut on that box though haha. The angle of the filter is way different too.

 

Update: I have been messing with my rear fuel line. It seems to leak fuel and found out you can't use summit An fittings with Holley hose. So I ordered 3 fittings to experiment with from Earls. I think I found a location for my catch can and believe using my CAI box is a lost cause. My intake sits too high.

I also got it covered up. I bought a cover craft cover back in December and this is the first time it has been clean enough to actually put it on. Fits great so it was a good buy

 

small update. I cleaned up and taped the harness back up. Got most everything straightened out for the most part




Got it washed



and Covered up for the first time ever. Finally putting my new cover to use I got around Christmas.

 

That cover fits great!!
Did you get your fuel leak corrected?
