Fuel fittings are crazy expensive in bulk!

I am lucky to have a buddy that has 4-5 plastic tubs the size of 30 gallon rubbermaids slap full of -8 all the way to -20 fittings that I can vandalize for a small surcharge whenever I feel like it

I would suggest changing your fuel regulator setup. Feed the rails first and have the return off the rail go to the regulator. that way the fuel has to go through the rails first.

Hey Junkie, not sure if you know or not, but with the th350\400 was an adapter needed? I have a long crank LQ4 I am sticking in a C10 and wondered what other parts were needed to make them play nice.

Mine has a JW LS bellhousing that mates the two right together so no adapter is needed.

great job-do you know what filler was used welding the steel V bands to the cast manifolds? welding steel to cast is hairy sometimes, but i wanted to do that to my manifolds so it would clear my steering

Can you run speed density and still maintain use of a narrowband o2 for cruising/off boost driving? Or is it when you convert to SD its just locked in open loop?

A few pictures with the update. All fuel lines ran 8an feed 6an return twin 255's in tank maganfuel reg. Installed the quarter stick (i hate it so if someone wants to trade a shifter let me know) Got the Moser 12 bolt with Wolfe Anti roll bar Th400 and strange chromoly driveshaft from another member on here. Got the rear end in myself a couple weeks ago just waiting for parts and it will be on the ground in about a week.

Just think now you can say Martin@Tick helped me spec my build out!

What diameter converter did you end up with again? I think you'll like it a lot whatever it is.
