Thanks for the welcome... I will get some pics up soon but I have a few more questions before I get started.... Has anyone made the AC fit or is there a relocation kit for that? The other question that I have is I am thinking that I will keep the 700r4 that is in the truck (modify that a little) but I was going to buy the Edelbrock efi to carb intake http://www.jegs.com/p/Edelbrock/755239/10002/-1 To make it a little less painfull for me. Has anyone done this yet and what will I be getting in to???

Ok, I'm pathetic... I just bookmarked your burnout video.

I showed it to the guys in my apt. and they all just rolled their eyes at me... Some people just don't understand.

Do you mean the coolant pipe that runs across the heads? I have the pipe that goes across them and I plugged off the line that goes to the radiator.

I thought that had to be there to let air out? Your talking about the steam port that goes through the TB to the radiator right?

We are going to drill and tap the water pump housing right by the water neck, and put a 1/8 NPT, to 5/16's hose barb, and run it throught the TB.
