Re: [Engine]: The heads are on! (joecaver)

Intake base is torqued into place. Now the first "stopper" occurred. I can't find my 4 fuel rail hold-down bolts. GRRRR Anyone got a part # or know what length/thread they are?

Superram runners are on now, but I still can't put the plenum on till I get this fuel rail thing sorted out.

Re: [Engine]: The heads are on! (Valleybacker)

Trust me, I welcome this sunshine!!! I found my bolts. :hurray: :hurray:

The fuel system is all connected now. I have to go take care of a few things so I'm going to leave it as is for now. I need to put the plenum, headers, valve covers, throttle body on. :) I might be able to do that after work tomorrow dependong on how long this stuff takes.

Hopefully at least the same 388hp & 445 ft/lb that it used to have. :lol: The only change is that the heads were milled just under 0.010". THen if it runs for a straight week maybe I can try tuning it for once. :)

"Its about 95 degrees in the sun or more and i'm sweating like a bastard. "

Seems like yesterday when all this started and shortly thereafter your car was buried in three feet of snow.

I think I see something at the end of the tunnel. :thumbs:
