Default It lives!
Out in the sun, under its own fuel injected power for the first time.



Without the C3 and C4 forums it would not have been possible!

Thanks

When I saw Fuel Injected power I thought you put on one of the new kits that replaces the carb. I see now that it is a tuned port system. Is this from a C4 vette.

It's an L98 motor and 7004 trans from a 86 C4 Vette.

that should be a good motor. I have a 86 with the L98. It has been a trouble free car for the last 8 years. One of the reasons I bought the 86 was because of the way the engine looked. I like the tuned port injection runners on it.
