Default update

well here we are, I started just to ensure fuel pressure and to check for leaks but before I can drive it I have to find a way to connect the mass air meter to the TB and fab an air intake. Any help finding 4 1/2 aluminum pipe, silicone adapters, and a larger mass air meter would be a big help. On the pics below for give some of the ghetto fabing but it works for now.
The first pic is the return line

That intake definitely looks like it was meant to be there IMO, looking forward to seeing how it performs
