Did upper control arm bushings without removing the arms. Using the air hammer. Saves quite a bit of time. Easy with engine out as well.

Damn that's nice Steve!

She's ready to roar! Just waiting to throw the injectors in! Hope John would be proud of this build!

 

[Steve V]

Latest batch of pics. Crank sensor, set, cam sensor set, need to set TPS. Cleaned up the engine bay a bit.

And we are done. Got injectors from Chuck lastnite. Fired it up with no issues. Typical clickey roller lifters. Put a few easy miles on it. Set all fuel tabled and main scale back to default on Tpro. Then Xavier drove it 2.5 hrs home.

Another fine turnout to your fine work. Chuck is the man, glad he's back from the unhealthy.
Great work!

That's great news. Did you guys dial the tpro according to afr's?

 

[BARRACUDA1968]

Just base line so not yet. Xavier is headed to Michigan now. Hes gonna comeback and we are gonna dail it in. Idle and part throttle afrs where good lastnite. To late and dark for any Wot stuff. The is pro similar to the stand alone system that Edelbrock uses on it's Pro-flo system. Used one years ago.

 

[TurboBuRick]

The Tpro is a great little device. Very under rated.

Let me know if I can help with it.

Steve, those style fittings on the oil lines don't require clamps. Clamping may actually cut into the hose and weaken the hose. I've seen 2 instances where those style hose popped. One was right at the clamp. The other was about 13 years old and split down the seem and started to leak. A shop can duplicate the hose lengths for you. Just lube them and push them over the barbs.
