I appreciate you guys that keep up with the thread, it let's me know that i am doing something that others find interesting.

For those of you who chime in and let me know what you think, I can always use the constructive criticism. Keeping a good balance of normal vs my mad max syndrome has brought my current vision into fruition....

I was going to get some things done today, but like Dave I decided to drink instead.. although today is not my b-day I had some friends stop by, that's good enough reason to drink for me.

A member that lives close by (with in an hour drive) has kindly offered to come up and help me get the engine in the car. So on engine install day I may have myself and 2 other members here for the occasion. What a great thing comrodery is, it's good to know people other than myself are willing to help others. Of course a bribe of beer and bbq doesn't hurt...

Once my initial tune is done myself and Kyle (wiseguyk) have talked about meeting up at Bradenton motor speedway for a "grudge race" lol. Gonna be good times for sure, maybe some of the other FL local members can meet us there. It is a good chance to do some great tuning and really see if the w/meth does its job.

I have a customer lined up for tomorrow morning to do a tuning session, already did the drivability portion of the tune just have to dial in the idle now that he has a iac installed... hopefully things go well so I can get my second (and final) payment.

Lol, yes JR I was talking about you. I do in fact consider you a friend, how can I not when you have helped me out so many times. We even went and hung out with noobz in Orlando.

So when’s the install day Steve?

It is fun meeting up with the other guys on here.

I don’t really have many friends to talk about fox bodies with outside of here. I seem to have too many bow tie friends in Oklahoma.

Oh well, if you were closer I’d come out there too.

I try to keep up as I can, but work and the baby keep me really busy these days. It’s looking great though.

This is one way to look at it. Mike (MRaburn) says to me one day off-hand, "Don't let that dude run amock in the forum wreaking havoc all over the @#$@$ place and %^&$% everything up. So I made him mod to keep easy tabs on him then gave him a forum in order to keep him contained.

What would you do?

(No, really. I'm out of ideas)

That's all i have done for now, the intake got a vacuum port welded on and the tb flange was shaped some... oh I also ground the welds some... I am sorta stuck... I can't decide if I want to leave it as is and paint or go through the hassle of epoxy over the welds and smoothing them down.

Also since I am running MAF, I realized my catch can won't work.. I want vacuum on the valve cover, that means I need to port the other side to the air tube after the MAF. I could most likely cheat and tune it out but am torn on what direction to go.

More pics tomorrow promise.

Everything is looking good why not smooth the ruff spots to clean it up.

If I lay epoxy and grind/shape it the manifold will look like one piece (mostly)..

Or I can say ' you haters' and run with it.
