Winter Project update
My winter project is almost done :yesnod: I was able to start up the engine last weekend and it actually fired up the first time with no leaks :eek: I can't say how well it drives yet since I haven't done the exhaust yet, but it sounds awesome with just open headers :reddevil . I am planning on doing the exhaust this weekend and I still need to tape the wires into harnesses. If you are wondering the engine draws air from over the radiator just like it did from the factory, and the air box will eventually get sealed against the hood.

Looks great,i like the air box idea too,only thing i would do is change the hose for the throttlebody to a rubber style one.But it looks great in there,nice job :thumbs:

I love the idea of FI. I have been looking at your sig pic and it just gets the wheels rolling in my head. Maybe one of these days FI will wind up in my vette. Good to hear you got the vette up and running.
