How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Holley intake manifold is cast with only one vacuum port, which will be used for the brake booster. Given that, I was forced to drill and tap a few extra holes to accommodate the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, which will hide behind the throttle body, and the PCV valve, which just barely fits underneath the plenum floor. The PCV is a mid-60s GM V8 piece that uses 1/4” NPT on one end and a hose barb on the other. The plan is to plumb to the back of the valve covers for a completely hidden system.

I went ahead and mocked up the fuel rails, injectors, and fittings and am happy with the fit of everything. Time to get this thing in some color

Dy-no-MITE! Sorry, couldn’t resist...

Apologies to everyone that wanted the intake to remain raw. Water pump is next, then accessories.

YES! YESS!! YESSS!!! This was the absolute right way to go with your truck...I would say the overall design is "understated perfection", like when the most beautiful lady in a modest dress enters the room and all the other wanna be's with goo-gobs of make-up and mini-skirts get mad. I will probably dream about how good it will look with a black air cleaner tonight.
