I'm pretty sure this is the same (or damn close!) to the "book PC" thing - but anyhow - this is what I've got here that was (is?) going into my car, along with a Lilliput 7" touchscreen monitor (it's the shiznit yo!).

Up to you to find a vendor on THIS side of the pond!!

All good things come from Kansas! hehe Nice to see you puttin ks on the map, bout time toto was forgotten. anyways, I love your motor! one thing, how are you gonna connect your lines to your injectors? I have about the same setup on my 4.5, less flowing of course, but I dont have the injector pod, just an injector boss welded to the intake. Is there any way to put lines straight to the injector, or am I gonna have to trash my setup for yours? Sorry for stealin your thread, just really burnt out not havin my car runnin. thanks, and good luck.

Here's a mock-up photo. Instead of the big coiled up line just imagine it connecting to a fitting on the fuel rail. Depending on how your bosses are welded in, you could probably save a lot of hassle over my setup. If the injector bosses are fairly parallel to each other and about the same height, all you have to do is get the fuel rail machined with bores with the right spacing to slide over the top of the injectors, then make a bracket to keep the rail in place.

bump!! anything new

No real updates yet, working on the piston issue still. I'm also trying to figure out some ideas for a low-mount alternator. On that topic, if anyone has a spare A/C bracket laying around for cheap, I'm needing one...

Nice, mine isnt lined up at all, they are kinda kinda paired though, groups of 2, they arent even the same height though. oh well, I think Ive decided to go back to the 2.8 I have lyin around, at least it will run. thanks

Going back to TBI wouldn't really be that big of a loss. It's a heck of alot better than a 2.8. You could just cap off the bosses for now and worry about it later.

nice, very nice. I will be back home in december, if you have not located an ac bracket by then I will give you one.

Sooo, good news and bad news. I got a degree wheel and was setting it up, when I discovered that the SCAT crank is threaded for a different (yet unknown) balancer bolt. "Greeeeaaaat". So I set it up with the stock pulley, timing pointer, and dial indicator, sans the degree wheel that I spent $30 on.

Good news first.

The valves are going to be around .170 away from the piston near TDC. Exhaust valves are even further away at TDC.

The bad news:
I've still got pistons that come out .065 below deck.

So now I'm faced with the dilemma of coming closer to 0 with my deck height and using a dished piston, or leaving these in there with which I acheive a very ideal compression ratio. On the other hand, the valve position does NOT make a custom piston mandatory as I first assumed, and I could probably get something pretty good, made for a turbo and nitrous, for cheaper than the $600-$700 that Arias and Ross quoted me. It very well could be worth it for the increase in quench that might decrease detonation and increase HP.

Decisions, decisions.
