Era fia fast efi 8 stack project...

Great chronicle and great car! Thanks for sharing with us.

Nicely done.

I did the same thing with the wife's 71 vette with a 383 and megasquirt. After figuring out that the crappy chinese TPS was noisy it's been great.

I added a lot of plumbing under the intake for 2 common plenum2, one for an idle air valve and PCV and one for MAP and FPR vacuum.

Looks like you have the same HAKO iron and HF heat gun I have.

NICE!
Habor freight for all your tool needs. If they don't see much use, they'll last a lifetime!😊

Did you have that fuel block that connects the front rails made? I saw some posts somewhere where some guys with space issues were looking for such a block.

[Luce]

I made the block. It's just a chunk of 6061 with 4 intersecting holes I milled. couldn't figure a way to neatly rout enough hose to make the U turn, so I did this instead.

My fuel rails were missing the chamfer for the O ring, and I didn't trust their swivel hoes ends, so they went straight in the trash.

I made a dummy oil pump drive and hid the FPR and filter in the back where Chebby puts their dizzy.

I also had to completely rework the linkage, but doing so I made it very progressive. The first half throttle only opens about 20%. Makes it really driveable, but a banshee when you start mashing it past 75%.

I also trimmed off the trumpets and made a carbon fiber air cleaner.

Very Cool! I'm trying to figure out a hood mounted filter box but I think I'll also have to trim the stacks about and inch to give me enough chamber area. Did you cut them on a lathe?

[Luce]

Yes sir. I chucked them in the little lathe and parted them off about 1.5" shorter.

I made a home made CNC plasma table about 4 years ago. I can remove the torch head and mount a router in it's place, load a different Mach profile and use it as a 2.5D router/mill. I used that to make a mold out of MDF, then layed it up with carbon fiber and epoxy in a visquene envelope and hooked my A/C vacuum pump to it, (with a catch can of course).

It's not absolute best practice for carbon fiber parts but works OK for this. Truth is there's way more epoxy than needed for max strength and min weight. A thinner vacuum infusion resin with proper release and breather ply would be better, but I work with what I have.
