Look, no one said that. I have no real technical advice to give the original poster, so instead, I listed another site for him to do research on. That was all.

Isn't the idea of this hobby to LEARN new things? I have seen similar questions asked about this elsewhere. I meant no disrespect to anyone here.

Ok sorry for the delay guys. Here's what I got. Took the 347 block,cam and AFR 185'S installed them with new timing chain 1.7 RR and then wrapped the motor in shrink wrap and stuck it in the outside Garage waiting for Fox body to be purchased. So with that said

I took my motor apart. Installed a COMP CAM 264XE, AFR 165'S, 1.6 SCORPION RR, TIMING CHAIN, 24 POUND INJECTORS, Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake, MSD Billet distributor and new Adjustable fuel pressure regulator along with other new polished or chrome goodies. I have the mo tor all put togther and have the following problems. Fuel gauge is leaking and intake a a smal leak at the upper plenum. I couldn't get a good idle so had a few more drinks and said @#@#@%$#%#$@^% and then gave the car a bird and have yet to get it back corrected. I have got a plenum spacer for the car and just haven't had the time to get back on it. Really need a local Buddy to help get momentum back going. The main thing I have noticed is the Scorpion RR are loud as hell and can't use stock valve covers any more and can't use the polishe tall boys so had to settle for some cheap ass chrome ones. Sorry to ramble but still pissed everything didn;t work the first time.

That's to all for your suggestions on the pony mods. I took them all into consideration and took little bits of information from all with research and now I have one bad machine if I ever get it running.

Wow all that and the car still doesn't run Damn.

BTDT more times than I care to remember! Sometimes you just have to walk away from it for awhile,and mentally sort it out.It'll come together!

165's are a huge waste of money unless its a class demand!!! that victor intake is a little much on a small cube engine, hope you get your car going agian soon!!!

Ment to say edelbrock RPM Intake not victor. I'm not looking to build a race car with this one but just a good street car with some power. That is why I got the 165's. Good flow numbers and good bolt on power. The fox I build will have all the big stuff.
