Re: PO has me PO'd

Well, here is the new Scroggins-Dickey vortec tpi baseplate, mocked up with Kurt Lindner tpi

I believe it will be hooked up with FAST XFI mutiport fuel injection system...more to come on this part, as im still reading and learning which system is best for my app.
EFI Connection is still in the running, uses LS1 components w/1 coil per cylinder

Intake heater hose has to be changed for a 45 degree fitting...back into the season of working on the truck....lets see how far i get this year

Re: PO has me PO'd

Is that the standard flow or high flow base?

#SD3816- doesnt say, but you can bolt on any factory or after market runners. Edelbrock offered hi flo

Im leaning more towards low end torque, as opposed to high rpm hp. As you know, these things stop flowing around 4500

Any advise you can give me would be great, did you solve your problem.....
I have a great tuner with a dyno local to me

Thanks for looking and the compliments....wanted fuel injection, so i can remote start in the winter, always liked the look of the early tpi stuff, and this one fell in my lap.

Maybe, some day i can afford the englese system, looks like the early quad webers

Re: PO has me PO'd

Looks good Jim. It is amazing how many changes a project goes through the longer you work on it.

FI is definately an improvement over most carb setups.

Time and money dictate the direction my build goes, in the beginning didnt have alot of money, but with my current job, things looked brighter. So, i could expand on some of the improvments i wanted...FI was one of them!

Thanks for your encouragement Bud, and following along. There are times when i think this project will never get done, but i sit back and look at the whole and where it all started, and i do see progress...

This fi will set me back, but i would rather have the truck roll out of the shop just the way i want it

I turned 62 the other day, thinking of retiring, but this truck is what keeps me working.....

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks Bud, yeah, me too! The bottom end is the only thing in question, when i pulled the heads the cylinder walls where questionable......sooo, down the road it will have a stroked 400 sbc

Right now, im having problems with the water outlet on the intake. Been looking around to see what is available for the 1 1/2" outlet that i need. OEM seems to be about 1 1/4"

Throttle cable for the tpi should be here this week....plus i hooked up the oem fuel rail, just have to find a regulator and pressure gauge

Re: PO has me PO'd

Do you need a stock water neck? Or custom?

I think I have a stock mount fpu as well.

The threads are metric.
