looks good Ian. What about milling the intake side off the head and going to a ZZ fab or custom setup?

I think for now Im going to leave it stock as far as the intake and fabbing up anything.

The red fuzz is from the shop towels

So the injector ports are the same on 3rd gens? I have never seen 2nd gen/3rd gen sticks next to one another.

yes same injector ports but the tubes are different

I picked these up from the guy that makes the monster pumps, he came by and delivered them since he was in town today..... connecting tubes for a 3rd gen head that use your stock VP lines

The CR tubes screw into the head and the fuel lines screw onto the tubes.... our VP trucks the tubes just go inbetween the injector and the fuel line that screws into the head.... well with these tubes I can run my stock VP lines so it eliminates the cost of buying new lines

hahah I cant let you get close so Ive got to keep doing stuff!! $240 for the tubes & O-rings. A LOT cheaper than EEP has them for... but I got em from the source so that cuts out EEP & Sheids
