FAB TV cable bracket & have a chip burn is all I have to do before taking it on the road.It seems to run decent with stock chip,better than expected.

Nice work, Mr. Nice! I may do this too. Seems like a good option for those of us that don't have $1000 plus for a bolt on intake, fuel rail, etc. I'd rather put the $ in the engine!
I am curious about what your gains are w/o changing cam, rear gear and torque converter.
Is that a little in cap coil?

Looks great.
I like what you did with the fuel lines,pressure regulator and guage.
I've been gathering parts for my swap for a while now and still need to put together a plan for my fuel lines. Were there any obsacles that were tricky to overcome with the way you ran them?
