Do they have the little notch on the deck surface? Those don't play nice with the MLS head gaskets. I had bad luck with the older heads like that.

The actual tablet I’ll be using and the adapter came in

This is what I have so far for the dash with things I’d like to see at quick glance

Got the fuel system hopefully completed as far as Filters go

Going to feed both pumps with their own feed off the Cell because honestly it's the cheapest route LoL with 2 Ebay stainless filters for pre pumps and a Wix Post pump thanks to SVslow for the recommendations

Also ordered MAP sensor and a bunch of little things to hopefully get this car running by the end of the month!

Interesting, wonder how’d they work with the On3 stuff previous owner had them mounted in the car with about 4 feet of spark plug wire to each plug....

I used the coils harness 100% stock, and it tucked away okay. plugged right into a stock length (but standalone) truck harness. used some nascar take-off wires.

looks like the driver side would work for you, but the pass side might require some work.

i'm using two DS truck manis, pass side has it down and forward, driver side has it flipped up and forward about where your header sits on that side.

Few more parts rolling in......I'm extremely close to slapping it all together at this point got the rest of the fuel system purchased and fuel feed relocating it to the oil pan.

Shout out to SvSlow on the heads up on the Napa Filter as well

Just ebay stuff they don’t seem bad with feeding the pumps their own feed from the cell I’m not too worried think they’ll flow plenty they’re the same deal as the Napa filter can be taken apart and cleaned

Well went to mount the pumps today and tried to do everything I could to mount them in the rear where most carb pump are and just don't have the room with the pumps and filters

Planning on mounting them along the frame rail. As long as the pumps are lower than the cell there shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think

Don’t find 200 dollar L33s every day.... picked this up thinking it’d be a back up 05 iron motor because I wanted one that was 24X

Go to load it up and see the 799s and kept quiet and went go unload it and realized

The block is aluminum
