Sounds excellent, I'd love to see some pics of it. What fuel rails are you using?

They are speed inc. rails for LS1 intake that I had before. The injector spacing isn't exactly right but it worked. I'd have custom rails made if I were to do it again but if you are machining your own intake you can make it work. The holes just won't be directly in the center of the bosses on some of them.

Glad to hear it. You should test drive it by taking it to Pensacola.

Glad to hear you got it all worked out. You'll have no issues being able to drive that everyday....not with that clutch.

Pics?!?

Thanks. I hope the clutch drives well, and holds. No new pics. Didn't figure i'd waste my time. You guys have seen more than a dozen 6.0's on an engine stand before. Besides, you be able to see my messy shop in the background. I'll get some pics installed of the new stuff.

I want to see the adapter plate you made and bungs you welded in. Thats not boring if you ask me. Not too many carb'd L92 intakes converted to EFI running around here.
