and take them stickers off the tires before you drive it, or there'll be remnants of them until the tread wears down.

 

still along ways from driving it

 

i know how you feel - right after college, i broke a rod in the old 4.3. having only temporary on-call work, it took 5 months between saving up the $$ and installing parts to simply get a new engine running in my only vehicle.

it'll come around soon enough!!

 

Nice to see the body sitting on the frame.

What will it take to get the bed on there?

 

Alot of beer... Thinking about starting it next week

 

Here is what I plan on my fuel system.

e85
160lb bosch injectors
walbro 450 in tank
a1000 on a rear sump
10an feed
8an return
aero boost regulator

Might be a little over kill but it will get me more than i need!

 

Might not be enough actually...are you running the 450 and a1000 in parallel or the 450 feeding the sump or what?

 

Running it in parallel with a hobbs switch.

 

In terms of injector matching, even with those 2 in parallel you are pump limited. 160s are huge injectors compared to the pumps.

at 20psi of boost with a 60psi base pressure (stock)
160s flow 771 l/hr
450+a1000 flow 712 l/hr

Which means you will actually drop fuel pressure above about 12psi of boost. Not really a big deal, because even with the pumps max output at 20psi of boost you have enough fuel for about 1150rwhp on the corn. Your injectors max (at 95% idc) around 1250rwhp on the corn.

The matching looks worse on gas, about 150rwhp difference between injector capacity (1770rwhp) and pump capacity (1620rwhp).
