Nice build man. The manifold and valve covers look great. Keep up the great work.

started on fuel system today pulled the bed off and removed old 5/16 return line. Installled a pair of walbro 255 pumps and ran 1/2 line with 8 guage power wire for the pair.

i used the 3/8 for the return line and used brass fittings for under bed connections . ran a 5/16 high pressure line out tank to line

started on feed lines to rails

how and where does your return line work......i see your regulator with the feed coming from the bottom and then the two sides going to each side of the rail?

i got a few questions... i'm gonna be doing the same swap into a mini truck as well with airride and 22's/// but i will be on the ground with a custom frame... which oil pan are you using? the car or the truck version? how low will your truck be when this is completed? bd or pretty close to the ground?

this truck was bagged on 22s. you need to tub firewall first and will need a pretty big notch. it cut alot of frame for exhaust on both sides i recommend looking at jags that run converstion book for s10 v8s

m is gonna be bagged n 22's as well... fully shaved firewall complete custom frame being built etc. i was just wondering if you z'd your frame in the front for the 22's as well as the width from inner frame rail to inner frame rail where the engine goes. i have to bring my control arms in 1" and up 1-2" to get my front end to lay out. just trying to make sure i have enough room to fit the engine.

I second that. The brace strengthens the assembly as well as gives you a platform for the upper linkage. Brilliant!
