Used a gto maf and a chopped up factor manifold if i remember correctly
TJ that tuned it works for Baker Engineering and they are a sponsor, and TJ is who posts under their sponsorship deal. I think the truck is still sitting next to Daves garage.

Yea I cant remember what they did now. If you search threads by Hellbents10 or Dadkins you'll find it.

Drove it 3 states away. Bought e85 30 miles from my destination. Romped on it later that night and chunked a rod. Was on lowish boost and timing pulled way back. Halfway home on a uhaul truck I realized that I didn't have e85 in my tank when I put my spare "e85" tank back in the uhaul truck. It was
traight yellow gas.



Always check your e85!!!

On to bigger and better. 76mm goes on the 5.3 4l60 gets thrown in the dumpster and the 4l80 goes in


Time for fun

Holy crap, 5.3 w/76mm and 4l80e should be pretty damn mean in that colorado!!! How much room is left up front for a turbo, or is it mounted somewhere else?

Goal is for it to be under the hood. I have been liking at other v8 swaps and to me it seems there is enough room but when you throw it in there things seem to shrink lol
