i used some aluminum angle that was laying around. you can pick up the angle from menards. i just drilled a hole to mount onto the intake then i drilled another one on the side of the angle to mount to the fuel rail. i think their like 2" wide. im not sure if they'll leak yet or not though. did you try buying new o rings?

I'm converting to e85 this time around so i need to sell my Siemens 60lbers for $300 shipped so if anyone needs them let me know. I'm also selling my 5.3 for $300 with a ton of extra stuff with it.
The converter its done from ptc and next week I'm getting the tranny finished then putting it back together the following weekend

was going to put the engine and tranny in today since my transmission is finished but we realized the flexplate bolts didnt have enough threads so we went into town to find some and its impossible to find m11x1.5 bolts because gm decided to be **** and make it impossible to buy some other than them and every place was closed so we made the ones i had work rigging **** up. then the 5.3 flywheel didnt work because of the long crankshaft so now i need to buy a 6.0 flexplate because the dumb **** who i bought the engine from didnt have it on there. and to top it off my engine fell off the hoist, luckily the oil pan didnt crack and i hope everything else is good internally. so now i have to wait even longer to put this **** back together.

On The Tree
well i got more parts in yesterday...
couldnt wait to borrow my old valve spring compressor tool from dave so i made my own piece of **** out of some 1/4" plate. brian tooley dual valve springs or something only $219 shipped from tick performance. he thinks patriot is going out of business so he told me to buy these. seem pretty nice.
got a little carried away with the acetylene so its missing half a leg lol
ported 317's torqued down with my $69 kmj head studs
best looking $100 valve covers i ever seen!!! only put them on for mock up
almost fully assembled. just need some 7.300" pushrods from texas speed
MAP mounted
coolant crossover
PITA 8.5mm msd plug wires. says their meant for relocating coils but come pre assembled and i dont think theyll be long enough!!! pisses me off
this is where the coils will be mounted. right in the rain tray

What kind of Intake is that? Is that a BBK? never seen one like that, it looks like a stock truck intake spray painted chrome :-) What is that?

lol yeah just a shaved truck intake painted aluminum. nothing special
heres joe gettin some tail from the tranny
heres joe again patiently taking out the brake booster. valve covers are too damn big lol. my power brakes didnt work anyway so manual brakes it is
now that the engine and tranny are finally buttoned in and all the big money is spent things are going to pick up really quick. i just ordered some smartfire 120lb injectors for $310 off ebay so we'll see how they work out and im going to order another bosche 044 for backup so the fuel system will be done next week

Nice to see it coming together. I just picked up a 08 impala as a new daily, so that's where most of my extra money is going. Slowed my build down quite a bit.
