Are you sure that front driver side fitting on the fuel rail will clear the alternator?

Not sure yet but I do have a low profile end fitting on the fuel rail and my altinator is shaved already from when I had my FAST intake ,those have the same problem so I'm hoping the clearances are the same.

Pull the plastic cover off the alternator, clearance, then re-install.

has anybody ever drilled out the rear steam vents on heads that have them blocked off? my LSA heads appear to have the riveted shut and was wondering if i drilled it out if the rivet would fall apart sort of speak.

well got the motor dropped in and almost ready to fire it up.waiting on a fuel fitting for the front driver side fuel rail this holley intake put the fuel rail right behind the alt to where its not notch-able so i ordered a special 90 so hopefully it works. other then that just need to prime the motor and hook up the hot pipes and coils/plugs and she will be ready...

the track is closed up here till spring but thats fine i really want to get the set up dialed in before i go anyway. what do you guys think my 126# injectors will be good for as far as HP / track times on e85 ? i got 2 450 pumps so i think i have plenty of pump but i know my injectors will tap out soon.
