Can't wait for the results.

I havent measured it out yet but,
the belt will be longer
I dont have any sketches, but I do have guides
to make more for others incase
this works out well
The wire loom is still there
but Im thinking of making another bracket to reroute this

Fantastic job illustrating the conversion Billy!
If I didn't have so many projects burning at the moment, I'd put together a converison kit. What you did here is great info and will no doubt help many others seeking the most from ther n/a engines.
Cheers ma man..........

Thanks for posting the pic of the EVAP module.
Notice you didn't show how far up the crossover sticks up (at least the ones I've seen). Not a pretty sight. If you talk to Nasty Performance they can hook you up with aftermarket rails, crossover, and a fp regulator if you need it. Kind of expensive but looks-wise, definitely the way to go.
I plan to do as you've done to get it all running. After that I'm putting in my order from Nasty.

this is the way I understand it also
this would make it somewhat simple for those guys thats returnless...
just change the plug ins and run a fbod fuel rails and injectors
Ive never dealt with aeromotive either
keep us UTD on how this goes
I may be real interested soon
