NICE SET-UP, but too many wires clammed up for my taste.

she is no show truck for sure!! the red wire across the top is the alternator wire to the battery. the stock truck wire was not large enough. i may restore it one day but for now it is just a beater that i will always keep!!! if i ever do restore it i will install a 6.0 and 480le or whatever is hot at the time.

Nice so far. I like to put a belt system like that on my 85' 350.

Is that TPI system similiar to what GM is currently selling/marketing as a turnkey fuel injection set up, or am I in the wrong ball park?

it is all 92 transam. i paid $450 for the complete engine, harness, and computer. I bought a $100 speed sensor and put a used 255lph mustang fuel pump in the tank. I bought a set of stainless headers off ebay for $185 and installed a O2 bung in the collector. swap was complete and running then!!!
