Check out this video by MMX. He goes step by step. I went plus .050 and rounded to the closest number. I bought my push rods from BTR and they had the length I needed in stock. I am using an early short block with eagle heads and stock thickness head gaskets on E85 and 8-10 psi. I used an old...

Very nice clean work! I really like the hydroboost idea, what booster did you use? It looks really compact. I was using a small vacuum booster but was not happy with the results or clearance issues. It sat right on top of my coil pack.

I figured you were. I did have the same kind of mind set but I went to rocky mountain race week here at the local drag strip back in Sept and there was a guy from Canada that drove a 69 dart 6.4 with twins and a 5 speed that went 8.98@153mph through air filters and mufflers so at that point...

I know its not as cool as having side exit exhaust but it will be a daily and I will be participating in a couple drag n drive events next year so I dont want to have the noise or the exhaust smell inside the car.

Actually its going to wrap back around and shoot down through the space above the k frame next to the starter and connect to a y pipe and into the original pipes an mufflers

Update from the weekend

Yes it is, its a tight fit for sure.

Thank you! I bought a billet 6" solid stock slab on amazon and machined it, along with the fuel pump hanger mount out of flat billet. Took some doing but it was far cheaper than buying one, plus its drilled for a joint passage to accommodate two pumps. I used dalron for the wire pass through...

YA it is tight for sure. I wish I had the room to come out and down, if I had taken more time I am sure it might have turned out a little better but I am trying to et the motor back in the car so I can get it over to storage before the snow flies, so I can free up some shop space for paying jobs.

Yes in that would be most desirable but with limited space this is the configuration I came up with. There are several manifolds on the market that intersect this way, thats where I got the idea from.

I went with a megasquirt gold box from EFI source. Absolutely great tech support, plug and play harness and detailed instructions. The plus is that its capabilities are unmatched. You can tune it from your laptop, it is a bit of a learning curve but trust me it is really worth it. There are...

Sorry for the late response, its been a busy month. So the K member is custom along with mounts and headers. I hear a lot of guys are using jeep commander manifolds. I built my own long tube headers using 3/8 flanges I designed and cut on our laser at work and then I bought a 2" mandrel piece...

Very true on the inner fenders. I think I have settled in on the passenger side facing the radiator support. snaking the down pipe in-between the trans and subframe.

The old motor is currently sitting in the car for mock up. It broke a valve spring this summer and gobbled a valve. So stripped it down to just a bare block and heads for mock up purposes.
