The addiction officially begins!!

next change out exhaust... Haven't messed with the oil sending unit myself, but it does get very very brittle. Handle very gently.

Yea I was gonna clean up the casting marks inside the runners the best I could paint it black and try to find a 85mm throttle body for it I might have the intake on this weekend. As soon as I find some lts and a ory forsale then I will scoop em up. My ultamate goal is bout 450hp to the wheels which is gonna need a cam and heads also.

Did you get the intake used? I ask because the pic doesn't show it having the bottom cover on it.
From what I remember that was the issue with the BBK. That plate didn't seal well or something along those lines.
