Well done Short-T.
Did you rewire it and do the tuning yourself?

Thanks, so far it sure beats the old 383/700r4.

Harness and tuning done by Speartech. Turn key, so far no problems!

Me too. It seems to start about the same but revving is a lot more responsive so far. It was ok with the efi but if you revved it cold sometimes it would die.

This is awesome! I definitely want to know how you like the performance with the 4 barrel style manifold and fuel inj. What kind of cam are you using?

Yeah, I am interested in the performance I am going to get with this setup as well.

The cam is a Comp Cam High Lift XR281HR. Semi aggressive but still should be very street-able.

Here's mine just about finished up. Need to add an electric fan, some antifreeze bolt up the torque converter and its ready to start. I also need to order a drive shaft too.

Slow going process to say the least especially when you are only able to work on it 6 times a year.
