Winter Project has started - Large Pictures
Here are some pictures of my winter project. So far I have a total of about 7 hours of work into it.
The front of the motor is disassembled, the intake is off, and the driver side header is off.
Vic
Before the work starts:
Plenum is off
Fuel rail is off, use a flare wrench
Runners are off

Looks like someone's been busy! Nice intake base, btw, looks good.
Can't have a thread w/o the obligatory T/B bypass pic
Don't you just love that runner bolt under the fuel lines up front?

Do you have a detailed instruction on how to do this mod? I'm interested in maybe doing it, does it add lots of hp?
