take a look over here.
they have a few odd set ups there. looks like most deirect port efi conversions have the injectors moved up a bit.

That looks nice, and lots of work bending hard tubing. However if it was me I would just use a synthetic flex line to each fogger nozzle. The main reason is because it isn't a high pressure application because the pressure from the NOS system is being introduced into the engine where the delta P will be nearly 100%, nore or less it is venting into an atmospheric condition. Using a HD flex tube would be alot easier to install, not as pretty but it is mostly hidden anyway when its under the manifold. I have had some instrument fitters that worked for me that could make tubing work a work of art

If I were to do that or rather have it done, I wouldn't allow the tubing guy to use brass fitting at the distribution block end. If he's going to use steel tubes then steel fittings are mandated.

Bill,
Thanks for pointing out a great company that makes some nice EFI conversions. On page 3 is a nice set-up that allows the use of the NOS nossles at a 90° angle to what is normally done on a Dart SBC. Yes I know he installed the injectors with the leads towards the intake, but the nozzle concept could work. I will talk to NOS and see what type nozzles these are and see if they can be jetted down to the level that I need.

Also, take a look at P4 on this site where they convert a Holley tall deck intake for a BBC to work on the C4. That is some extreme work! These guys do nice work.

Thanks again for sending these great links,
Aaronl

All parts are back from the powder coaters, and they turned out great (all of the intake assy is yellow, with some discrete parts done in "infinitely wet black"). I reassembled the TB tonight. I think I have most of the fittings and hoses to get this up and running. Unfortunately for the project, I leave for a 10 day vacation tomorrow.

I will get some pics up as quick as I can.

I am not sure why I can not get pics to post anymore. Nonetheless, after much delay, I bolted the C4SP intake onto yellow. I found some interesting things when I pulled off the old MRII (the intake gaskets had failed on both banks).

As soon as I figure out how to post pics, yet again, I will put up the pics. I have some plumbing to complete, but it should be up and running by the weekend (maybe).

I started the car last night with the new C4SP. Everything is adjusted (Timing, TPS, IAC, etc.). However, there is a problem. The MB that I had bought used to have powder coated appears to not have near as much return pressure as my other MB that I was running with the MRII. I am going to try to block the throttle blade and see if I can get another turn on the return springs. I am not sure if this will be possible, but I need additional return pressure.

But the intake mounted really nice. It pays to pre-assemble and clearance everything before sending out for paint or powder.

I still have not figured out how to get my pics to show in a posting. It seems that the procedure has changed from when I used to post pics. All I get now are the dreaded X.

Maybe this works?
I think you were pasting in the URL at the top of the internet viewer?

I usually right click on the picture, select properties, and copy the info from the properties over to the image box. Or who knows, maybe the forum changed something.

None the less, Looks good!!

But this leaves behind some extra parts.
