Cool stuff. Making me look bad here. Sy is all there but just not enough interest I guess. What is your completion date goal?
so I can keep up LOL

Does the pic mean that the Elky is in its new home?

Awesome to see! I am going for the same exact thing with my El Co. Its a 4.3 TBI with Edelbrock 2114 and Vortec heads for now. What are you planning on tuning with? I am using TunerPro and DynamicEFI EBL Flash. Is it a forged assembly? So many questions! lol

V,
She's in Virginia now, my buddy is supposed to pick her up.

Meano,

Don't have a tuner program yet, probably use OSTRICH via MOATES.net, and/or TUNER PRO. The internals are stock. I'll get to your other questions.

She's in VA now, but these are some requested photos. Before I put the hood back on.

Much better than that 7th injector setup!

I didn't have any of the other gear for it. The only reason it was still on there, was because I didn't have anything to put over it. Problem solved.

what a cool project! going to be awesome .

It's been fun. Still nailing all of the wiring down. I'm just waiting on getting registration and that done. Need to do some tuning on it too for sure. I have no idea what's on the chip that's in it.

So been driving it for the last 3 years, but it's been spitting out blow by, so I tore it down and have some new rings and pistons, with L35s to go on top.

After going through your entire build thread, I have decided to take some advice off of it and put my inline fuel pump on a dedicated circuit. I don't need to be blowing any ECM fuses or wreaking any other havoc. I had been thinking of doing it all along, I knew it was the right thing to do, but now I'm definitely going to take care of it asap. Good luck with your 4.3 build, I'm jealous of the L35 heads.

BTW, the L35s are from a website, and weren't stupid expensive...
