there are like 2 or 3 threads showing how people did their kits right now, most of them are very simple to reproduce

There are lots of pics. You can start by looking in the stickies at the truck manifold thread. Lots of good pictures. Then you can do an advanced search and search for "Build Thread" limiting results to the FI. That should give you a few hours of reading.
