Re: Blackpony's build up! Motor is in!!

Thanks man! Rest of the fuel fittings minus the return side adapter will be here today, then the rest of the parts should be here Friday or saturday so hopefully maybe Sunday I can fire it up.. Will have to figure out how to hook up the return side to the hard line as no one has the adapter in stock.. Pretty pissed been waiting since January to get one!!

Re: Blackpony's build up! Motor is in!!

Here are a few updated pics. Just missing one fuel fitting, need to wire up the tps sensor, and get a different set of valve covers as the ones i originally planned to use, are too tall, and are hitting the throttle cable bracket. I tried an intake spacer, but then the intake hits the hood.. really pissed as they would have looked killer on it!! Oh well still need to order the parts for the trans, and modify the mid pipe, as it is for a mod and not a pushrod as i was told when i purchased it..

Re: Blackpony's build up! Motor is in!!

Thanks bro!! Yeah i had to use them as the base circle lift on my cam is too big and pushing through the dog bones on the factory style lifters.. really sucked as i had a brand new set of lifters and dog bones, but had to turn around and spend 300 on these.. oh well i know its right, so that gives me piece of mind as i have spent a lot on trying to plan and build this setup and make it right..
