so like PortPros told me the SV"E" would be ideal becuase it was already setup for FI, is their an advantage or did you save $$ by having the FI done on your regular SV? Teach me ObiOne...

Nothing really, because I did not change the bolt pattern on the heads or close up the cooling passages on the ends, it bolts right on just like a conventional small block. And the reason for that was I wanted to use the rear coolant crossover in the intake for the coolant steam return for the heads. Instead of drilling and tapping the rear of the heads for it. So all that was really done was it was converted to EFI by these guys....

He also made the elbow.


THANKS!

Sorry, gotta keep you at bay with that monster motor you putting together. lol
All jokes aside very nice looking build and I can't wait to see it run. I am really glad to see some one around here still kicking an LTx motor.
Speaking of how is Barne's car doing now? Last time I seen him he was having trouble getting it to hook. I got the pewter 95 z with black stripes.

Thanks for the compliments, been along time coming...I had some fun with that 355. Everybody thought it was a 383 on NOS he he. Especially a certain Subuaru WRX in town
