IIRC (someone correct me if I'm wrong)...
4.8/5.3 = 383
6.0 = 408
LSX = 483
Oops...didn't explain myself well enough. I never intend to do anything with the 4.8 beyond bolt-ons, and NO2. No making that guy bigger, lol. Also, I was under the impression that I could take the 6.0 out to a 418, but it is entirely possible that I am wrong. If I do decide to go 427 (later), I'll find an LSX block. But am probably going to lay low, and stay along the lines of just using the 6.0 for the 418 build (or just the 408 if that's all the 6.0 block can handle). I don't want to buy a 6.0, then sell again just to go for a bigger block. Not in my list of things I want to do (at this point in time). Would like to do the 6.0 swap, and then later build it to it's potential (bore, etc.) Sorry for the ...

Got my hands on a few items. Was hoping you guys could tell me if any of this is worth using. Picked it all up from a buddy I work with for next to nothing, lol.

Also, what all is missing to make this complete? Looks to me like all I have is a bottle, bottle clamps, arming switch, all lines (??), and a solenoid. Clarify me, lol...

I don't see the nozzle in those pics either. Most of the controls for the sex are built into the solenoid box as far as I know

I did figure that one...but, hey...lol. I'll look into the ZEX stuff on the site and see what I can find. If not, I've got no problem really, with just using the bottle/brackets, lines (maybe), and switch. I'm going to end up picking a window switch out as well. Also a bottle heater and a bottle pressure gauge for up front. I haven't had a chance to tear apart that wiring mess on the solenoid yet, but we'll see what's really going on.

As far as what meets the eye, what is this stuff worth? Just what I have pictured. Bottle? Lines? Just curious...

Alright. Did some looking on the site. I'm sure since it is the manufacterers' site, the prices are a bit on the high side, but it has the bottle listed new for $280 (10lb. polished), the NOS management system (wet) $253, 15ft line $48, 3ft. line $18, the two 2ft. lines $14/ea., safety switch $28, bottle gauge $55...made a "cart" of all the things that I have and it totaled $657!! What the hell!??! LOL...I paid (dun-dun-dun!) $20 for all of this!! I had no idea...lol.

Looks like all I'm missing to make the kit complete though is a bottle heater, window switch, nozzle, solenoid, purge kit, and maybe a few fittings. Sound about right? Shoot, maybe just sell what I have to go towards a cam...HA!
