91 chevy standard cab short box not 56k friendly
« on: January 08, 2009, 02:27:19 PM »
well ive been working on this for a while, i was inspired while talking to uncle beaner one day, and decided to refresh my truck a little.  i rebuilt a 350 to 355, comp cams rv cam, kb flat top 9.5:1 pistons, eagle crank and rods, and rebuilt the heads.  ceramic 1-5/8 headers with a 3"flowmaster system and a 70 series muffler with custom welded mandrel bent y-pipe.ive replaced all u-joints and all front end parts.  stripped and painted the frame and all of the brake/tranny lines.  it is a tbi setup with an edelbrock tbi maniflod.  since im hoping to aproaching 300hp  ive bought an aftermarket fuel pump and a fuel regulator to get to 18psi fuel pressure.  im sure there are lots im leaving out but here are some pics.

i decided to go with 5.7 tbi injectors.  @18 psi i should have enough fuel to feed the beast.  i didnt want to go with a tune at first unless i need it, but if/when i do ill get a 56mm tb bore and run a programmer.  i have enough guages going into the truck to rival a nasa space shuttle, i should see quickly if i have fuel troubles of not.  thanks for the link though, ill check them out. :thumbs:
