Well, its about 9:30 and so far this morning I have fixed the fuel leak, done 4 of the injector plugs, plumbed the pcv and all that crap, hooked up throttle cable, don't have the piece for the cruise cable, and I guess all I have left now is the last 4 injector plugs.....hands got cold had to come in for a break. It's almost done....I think.

Just curious what kind of power is that setup capable of fueling and how about tunability?

onebadrubi

he is capable of fueling I would say atleast 750rwhp?

Well the maniold is going to help but your heads are still a choker!!!! Briles come on I know you know better then to choke the chicken to hard.

O.k., here's whats going on now. Intake and TB are on, truck cranked right up, 1 injector not working right. Another injector is on the way, as well as some braided hose to plumb from the y block to the rails and for the return line from the fuel pressure regulator. There is also a "whistling" sound coming from somewhere, can here in the cab driving, under the hood, but loudest under the truck, so I suspect there is a vaccum leak somewhere towards the rear of the engine on either the EVAP plumbing, Brake booster hose, or something else like that. Other than that all is good, and once the injector and braided hose is on, (probably sunday), I'm pretty sure finding the "whistle" won't take long. Here are a few pics of everything along with some highlights showing some of the stuff required to make it work:

Here's a pic of the air cleaner base with the IAT sensor plumbed in. I just snipped of the MAF plug and used the tan and black wires and hooked up to the IAT sensor:



Here is the MAP sensor connected thru the provided fitting in the side of the manifold with a hose, there is supposed to be a supplied hose, but not one in the box with this one.....I do not leave it up like this, just pulled up for pic, its tucked down by the fuel rail:



Heres a pic of the extended TPS and IAC wires, just cut and extend by about 8" or so. Directly plugs into the Edelbrock TB.



Heres a pic of the throttle cable bracket/linkage setup, I just rigged up a hook up for the TB end of it for now until I can find a cable that will work like I need.....maybe one of those Lokar universal cables....will find out soon. As far as the bracketry, the supplied brackets work fine for the throttle and cruise cables, you just need to get the appropriate stud/hookups for the TB end. I know Holley makes a piece for the GM cruise design. I didn't have one, so there is no cruise hooked up right now:



Heres a pic of the whole assy minus the air cleaner from a distance:



Here are a coulple of pics with the breather on there:





Here is a pic of how close the breather is to the top of the firewall, there is about a 1/4" clearance with this standard 14x3" K&N assy. Might could use a drop base cleaner design, not sure.



I will get video as soon as it is up an running right!

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about!!!!
Great work guys.
Thanks Rhino for posting pics of this mod. I'm relieved to see that it fits under the hood and that the engine starts and idles with the Edelbrock ttb. I'll be watching your progress from here.

Good luck with this.

Thanks Richard! The only thing I can see intially that will have to be changed in the idle tuning is the Desired Airflow table......with the 4bbl, it doesn't need quite as much help from the IAC now. Respone was CRISP, even with just 7 cyl. The parts are on the way so Sunday it should be done!
