I am using this setup once the 73-87chevytrucks.com truck is running.

I didn't know you had a Big Block? :evil

I think I am going to run the Holley TBI 4Di with the Megasquirt controller on top of my RPM manifold.

Yep! All I dealt with was BBC's in the past. I have had this motor since 1990.

I think I was dreaming of Big Blocks in 1990.....I was only a Freshman in High School.

Me too. Class of 1993 but we only have 3 years in high school (grades 10-12).

Man that intake on your truck Chris is nothing but sheer beauty. I just love it everytime I see it.

do you have a write up for the headlight conversion?

If you do a search for "headlight swap" there's some posts.

Well, I fired her up.....didn't start right away because I had my PCV line hooked to the brake booster port instead of the PCV port(vacuum leak). I reinstalled my vacuum advance canister so I can get a little more driveability out of her. The old carb didn't have a timed port for vacuum advance, so I locked it out. Can't wait to take her out with the new carb and see how she responds. :hat

nice! i like the way you made those look semi stock!

Yeah, I thought I'd try to do something a little different...My friend is a Union sheet metal worker. He used the stock wheel wells as kind of a template to brake the sheet metal in that shape. It would have been hard to use the stock pieces and get that perfect stamped steel shape and twice as much welding.
