04CHASE Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 an idea of what it will look like, still thinking of what will happen with the fuel rails for color. and have to get the regulator/and all the rails / lines ran so i can slap it on when the motor is in. have to also figure out what to do as the intake wouldnt sit down without hitting the valley cover. i think it will need to be milled a bit to work. the balancer also stopped short so it had to come off and re approached.

04CHASE Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 got the 370 out today and pressure washed the bay . need to tap the block for the knock sensors and drop it in the 427 . sending the 370 to get inspected, looks like i lost only one head gaskets. had to get a custom cut valley cover for the sheet metal intake . have to cut the a/c bracket to make fit. need to find a place that does anodizing , going to do the fuel rails, alternator, tb, alt bracket and some other small pieces. hydroboost install will commence next week along with progress pictures. the vortech , intake manifold will all be cleaned up and posted for sale .

04CHASE Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) a couple pics today . got the antiseize so i could use some stainless buttom heads on the valley cover to help clear the intake. also for some smart reason i used allen head bolts and getting them tight is a two man job for sure. for anyone else doing the hydroboost install , getting off the pedal sucks , a 18mm ratchet wrench and a 3/8 drive with 18mm shallow w/4 inch extension is key. still a pita if your a bigger person . also the ss master cylinder works just fine with the hydroboost. did all the fuel rails plumbing and got the rails back from anodizing , injectors are in and the intake is ready to bolt on . waiting on the knock sensor/cam sensor harness. making new battery cables tomorrow and thats pretty much it . the motor may be put in this weekend. i will be leaving for arizona for 4 days tomorrow so progress will sease for the 4th. on to the pics Edited July 2, 2009 by 04CHASE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 BIG STEP FORWARD Thanks to phillip, aka caddypimpin. I left for the river on thursday dropped off some beer and sunday came back to this. ran into a little problem , the way i have the regulator wont work as it hits the firewall so im going to bend some hardline up and make my own fittings on the rear passenger rail to push the regulator back a little . also going to have to cut the driver side fuel rail down to near the injector and cut a -8 an fitting and weld it to the rail . then use a 90 -8 female to hose then to the y. this is with the stock 105 amp alt , going to pick mine up tomorrow and make sure it will have a shot as its even bigger but should work . below you can see my issue with the smaller alt. basically just have to , install alt headers, plum the fuel , i made all new battery cables that are ready to install. plum the wiring, new knock sensor/cam sensor harness. electric water pump . finish the hydroboost which should be cake. and all the little b/s . hope to have it fired by this weekend if im lucky .
