Progress Update

I'm sure most won't care but figured I'd show some of the progress I've been making installing my new engine and Single plane intake with Elbow. Lots of bolting and unbolting going on under this hood!! Some wrench flying and curse words also trying to make everything fit but she's mostly together now. Enjoy!

Looks like you are doing a nice job. I am interested in the HP/TRQ curve with this set up. Keep us posted.

Thanks. First time doing most of this so just taking it slow.

The engine was ran on a engine dyno a few weeks back. We were able to use my intake but unfortunately they weren't setup to run EFI so a carb was used for fuel.

nice work Ron !
I see that you used a Weiand remote housing ?
very neat job and that setup (fuel and water) should work well, are you going to use a thermostat in the housing ?

Yes its the Weiand housing being fed by (2) -12 lines. Other side of housing has CTS and heater core return plumb to it.

As far as tstat I will try one first and see what happens. It may cool fine without one like yours.

if you have your coolant temp sensor in your remote housing then there is probably a greater chance that the thermostat will work correctly.
I was thinking about testing my system by using lower temp thermostats (around 160) to see if it would open when the CTS was reading around the 180 mark, because my CTS is still in the front of the manifold.
