did you consider the RARE manifold idea?

I think he is using an LS engine.  Am I right?  WE WANT PICTURES!  haha
I know it's in a crate but when it is out, you know what we want.  

uh.... no LS engine here my friend

Sorry, for some reason I thought you had said that at one point in time.  I am glad to see a Pontiac engine in it!    

Thanks for the pictures!

worked on stripping and priming the EVAP lines on the passenger's side of the frame


also painted the little brackets. they appeared to be blue originally, so i painted them as well

they look real good once installed back on the frame

also stripped and painted the prop valve and A/C drier brackets

what kind of dyno numbers?             (sorry if you already posted them i didnt read all 27 pages)

[SnapOnBilly]

thanks again! the blue paint i used is actually engine paint. it isn't sticking very well. looks good in pics, but not as good in person- oh well.

it dyno'ed somewhere around 598 HP, with like 650 ft lbs of torque. the paperwork is buried somewhere with the engine. i have to dig it out...

[hada76]

did butler set up/supply the FI?

[SnapOnBilly]

yep they sure did. i bought a complete FI kit including lines, pump, etc. that i have to plumb when i get to that point.
