Also roll pan ordered 75$ steel primed with plate light not going to weld it in Incase I need to remove it for some reason and I will love the weight loss that's going to happen back there

 

The bumper isn't all that heavy, but the hitch cross member is.

 

Are you going to move your battery too Keith?

 

Take a pic once installed

 

Batt is staying put at pbir I would need a kill switch if the batt is moved from stock location by nhra rules must have kill or disconnect kinda dumb to put on my truck

 

Easy enough when the battery is moved.

I intend to use the OEM battery location for my electrical center when I install the Megasquirt. So the battery will be moved to rear between the frame. This is what I was looking at.

Bolt this to the frame with a cutout switch then just lift the battery into place and secure it.

 

Oh, sweet.:thumb:

 

I used a kit from Taylor that has a full aluminum enclosure and I think it came with wire and the disconnect. That eBay one looks like too much $, but maybe this stuff went up in the last 5 years? I would also highly suggest a circuit breaker mounted immediately off the battery. Good insurance and too many heavily modded vehicles burn to the ground.

That's a nice box, JEG's carry's it at a great price. Problem with a box is mounting it and servicing the battery under the bed mounted to the frame. It would require dropping the whole box to get at it, unless I'm missing something with the mounting. Do you have pictures of your setup?

 

It's a box with 2 lids so the box comes down with the lower lid after removing the wing nuts. The upper lid stays bolted in place.

 

Stu its 12.5/12.5/4.5 with 3" in out 90degree from frozenboost.com on your setup you could run one of there long straight ones bill could Deff use one with how long his boost pipes are and ditch the air-air will help with what lag you have

 

Planning on setting it up the same way you have yours Keith. Wont happen any time soon. But, in the future. Fuel system mod first. Thanks Keith. FHTC Rocks!:thumb:

 

Today switched out every pipe clamp I had to t-bolt style much bigger footprint and alot more clamping pressure won't have any blown pipes now

When I do the boost upgrades I may have v-band ends welded on my pipes with seals in them that would be cool

Also you guys aren't going to believe this I am going to tackle a custom sheet metal intake manifold for my truck got a friend who will let me use his tig welder and his lathe will have a spot for the map sensor and nipples on it also for the vacuum hook ups its going to be a single plane style custom made like everything else on my truck I do this is goin to be geared toward a boost setup the runners are not going to be long so an NA motor won't benefit but it will look cool either way will keep you guys posted

 

custom sheet metal intake manifold

That's a very good idea Keith. The plastic truck intake manifold will blow out around 17 to 20psi boost. :thumb:

 

Just throwing this out for thought, how about a hybrid using an aluminum manifold and cutting the top off of it to use the base and then building something from that? I see the LS folks inserting longer runners in their manifolds. How about fabricating tunable runners in a bolt-on top box? Hidden nitous injectors with meth foggers, I gotta have a beer, my brain is over heating...

 

This is what I had in mind with a built in intercooler.:thumb:

 

I like it!

 

I saw that mod man manifold stu and was thinking I could just drill the efi holes that are cast into out and then fab up a top hat that would bolt on and have a place for my throttle body gotta see what would be best but that is Deff a good base

Using a 6.1 manifold is also an idea and modifying it alot options to pick from either way its moving forward been looking for awhile now

 

The Modman intake manifold doesn't require the a/c or alternator brackets to be modded.:thumb::thumb: And the coils mount under the manifold.:SWEET1:

 

If I get that manifold I would get the 5.7 efi base pre drilled with fuel rails for $749 a make a top cover myself will still be cheaper than doing the mopar one where I need rails and would still have to make a custom top the modman seems to be the est route unless I can come by a 6.1 free or very cheap and mod the inlet a little bit still may just make one from scratch sheet metal style will take along time being that I work alot and trying to find the right material for the job

 

would get the 5.7 efi base pre drilled with fuel rails for $749 a make a top cover myself

Believe they can also cnc the groves for the oem 5.7 intake manifold O-rings.

 

I look at this one to inspire fantancy's occassionally, I like the intercooler setting inside the base. The TB an be mounted pointing straight up wouldn't be a problem I would think.

You can buy your own fuel injector boss stepped drill bit to make your own holes. Just another option.

 

It's $750 for the bass intake and fuel rails mounted the top plate I can make no real issue

 

Do you have any links to the site advertising the manifold?

 

Indy Cylinder Heads. They build Gen III Hemi engines too.:thumb::thumb:

Thanks,

 

My other option is to buy the edlebrock dual quad manifold and make a custom y top to the throttle and have engine works weld in injector bosses making it efi friendly options is all I can say

Oh well, there went full street trim......:lol: Looks great Keith.:thumb::thumb:
