Well I took a couple days off from work to get the new head and intake installed. Based on my previous experience I chose to drive up to Fortuna, CA to Ponci’s Diesel Center for the install. As always, Brad and family make you feel like your part of the family. Brad runs a first rate operation from the clean spacious shop to the meticulous care given to each vehicle brought into the shop. Whether it’s a simple after market air filter install or working on the short block he and his mechanics treat each vehicle as if was there own.

Below are some pictures I took as we were doing the swap:


Tires off front lowered down on jack stands and body up make this real easy to get to


Old head with stock plenum:


Head off getting ready to prep block


The Brad Ponci making sure the ring are in place and everythng is in order before droping the new head on:

We were able to use the same fuel lines after some hand bending to get it started for our couple of heat cycles before doing the finale retourqe and I have a few small bracket items and lines I need to fab up but it sounds SWEET !!!!! and I am totaly happy with the new head, Intake, and the install.
