It took me almost 3 weeks to finish this after breaking of a FMS valve cover stud in the cylinder head. The machine shop told me Trick Flow did a crappy job machining the hole.
I had to run a 3/8" intake spacer for the throttle bracket to clear my valve covers. TPS sensor and intake hit the hood blanket and its starting to erode away. Gas pedal feels ALOT different, hardly have to touch the gas to rev the motor, makes it kind of difficult driving 55mph in traffic.
Couldn't get the cruise cable to fit, it hits my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. I'm not sure how to get it to fit, but just wanted to get this thing together so I could drive it again.
I went with a 70mm Accufab throttle body, UPR EGR spacer, and I cut up my AFM power pipe for an intake tube. I'm running a Pro-M 80mm and a 10" Anderson Ford air filter. It fits pretty snug up near the headlight.
One good thing is that my idle is smooth and consistent again. NO hanging idle or rough idle, just like people had mentioned in previous threads. I did notice that my Edelbrock lower is junk, its pitted out along the sides, threads are ripping out where it connects to the upper and one hole is cracked. I've only had it off 4 times in 2 years since I bought it, had to get longer bolts to get it to fit snug.
Hosted the pics on the corral.
