stock head bolts tend to break off in the block when you re use them.

 

Oh i thought he was talking about head studs or something aftermarket. Yeah i got all new gm bolts

 

I just mocked everything up today and I ended up shoving the radiator and condenser back like 2 inches and now I have plenty of room for the intercooler and trans cooler. Granted I did cut out the hood latch a frame and I still have to redo it

Yea not a fun time...

 

So the trucks running now. I started it at about 3 am this morning, slept for 3 hours and then drove it to school. The oil drain didnt exactly comeout how I had hoped...

There was less room than I thought between the A/C belt and the water pump cause thats where I was gonna run it, so instead I notched out some of the compressor bracket and got this. I have a bad feeling that its not a good enough gravity drain so I was hoping someone could tell me if it'll work or not.

I took the oil cooler lines off and tapped the block, drilling from the back so there was no guessing whats on the other side of what im drilling into. I capped it for now since I dont have the turbo on yet

Now that I found out about the bad reveiws of the smartfire injectors would these be a another injector that would work if they do turn out to be bad?

Siemens Deka V 80lb HR Fuel Injectors Fit EV1 Bosch Short Stubby Pico D5 840cc 8 | eBay

 

Im not asking for much just a few peoples opinions and input...

 

Deka 80s are fine injectors, very common. I think I saw a set in the classifieds for $300 or so...

 

Ok i think im gonna return the smartfire ones and just get deka ones. Which kind is the right kind or will both work? The short vs tall

yea, good decision on ditching those smartfire injectors. I am running the siemens deka 80s. I'd go with the tall injectors, as it is cheaper to space the fuel rail up than it is to space the injectors up.
