Stock to Sheetmetal intake advice Hi there,
I'm very new to the engine rebuild scene and first time pulling apart my engine. I gotta say, pretty fun and straight forward.
BUT
However, I really need advice on my intake conversion.
I'm going from stock intake to a sheetmetal design with a 92mm Throttle body.
this is including fuel rails (FAST type) with braided crossover.
The situation my brain can't get a handle on is how am I going to make the engine breath ?
As going for higher rocker covers to compensate for the higher rocker train (compcam)
And with the stock air pressure sensor at back of stock manifold. How am I gonna make everything work for when take it for a tune.
All seemed simple with all the stock PVC tube were connected to rocker covers etc.. And water cross overs at the Valley area.
I wana make everything clean and with braided lines.
Advice and pics would be very appreciated...
And I hope I've explained my confusion well

Just the polished rocker covers I'm using are higher than standard to accommodate the extra lift from the Compcam Valve train...
Just the rocker covers have no breather hole to fit the breather pipes on...
So just wondering How am I gonna make this intake work and what needs to be connected to the intake. Eg, sensors etc
As from stock it all seemed simple when looking at PVC hoses... But now all pulled off, and sheet metal intake ontop, feel lost and what needs to be connected to it so works correctly.
obviously yes the injectors and fuel rails.. Just concerned about breather hoses and sensors..

well my motor is making over 1000+ turbo. I am switching my car back to a street car from a drag car. Right now I have the victor jr efi carb style intake with elbow. I want a more street cleaner look.
