Went to local speed shop, ordered (since they were out on the shelf) a 24" fuel line with 90* fittings so I can get the line around the blower and not over. I was able to snag the last used set of ZZP fuel rails for $120 shipped instead of the $140 shipped and $30 core charge! But the fuel line that comes with it won't do the job. I only spent $19 on the fuel line at the speed shop! I just now need a bigger belt, coolant, and probably some new (once again) lim gaskets. Probably throw in a new ECT sensor, only $14. I got the cooling fan sensor installed in the radiator to plug the hole. I have the pump, reservoir is setup, and hoses/fittings. I am going to start installing stuff this week. Did a test fit of block of wood for hood clearance since my core is huge 2.75-2.85", it cleared. I may (probably will) have to cut Birdhouse intake up a little to place my reservoir over there, but it'll be ok because I don't like how the intake box looks right there with the flared wall on it. Line looks similar to this, but 90 degree on both ends: Pointless, but needs plug the hole up. $17

You could always make the sensor work so you can monitor IC Temp. Just an idea...

True. I can also tap into the wood core and do the same!! I hope it works, I been going WOT around town alot lately, the whine is just so contageous! I can't wait to throw my 3.25 back on and increase timing and see what this thing can do!

Quick question. Why wood?
Not trying to be condecending(sp?), just curious. I've never seen anyone use wood in the engine before.

Wood is Cheep, easy to work with, and farely forgiving, if it works steve has something started

I paid $65 for the core, instead of $500+. I made it myself! Doesn't transfer heat like metal does as much. And no one will no its wood unless I tell them.

That's pretty cool! I would never have thought to use wood in the engine.

$10 at Advance. Think Wally Word has them too. Waiting on some more parts. My fuel line I ordered didn't come in yet. Need to buy a belt, some coolant, and lim gaskets. I'm painting and installing in sections. Core and lim go on last.
Only thing about the reservoir is the crappy cap. Would like to find something cheap with a screw on cap.

So got the fuel rails and built the reservoir. I bought a new fuel line, $19, with 90* fitting. Wish it had both ends 90*, but they didn't have it. It's 24", the one zzp sent with it is like 14". I hope the 24" is long enough, they didn't have longer with 90* fitting. Hope to install some things this week. Off work today and tomorrow, but Pops lined up a garage to bedroom renovation. Enjoy!

Yup! Afraid theirs wouldn't fit over the blower, plus need that extra clearance.
