Looks good. But I think its overcarbed! Looks like you got the wrong fuel rail too. Have you heard the thumper cams? They got the big motha tumpr. Its awesome. I say high rise intake manifold! And bigger filter too. I thought you were going to sell it? Mad scientist

Thanks! If is worth doing, then it must be worth over doing. lol JK! I did end up with the wrong fuel rail. :( Oh well. The Thumper cam does sound nice, I may do that but not right away. The intake I have now is the Weiand Stealth and has the widest RPM power range of any street intake...off idle to 6800 rpm. The filter is another issue, I am trying to decide what I want to do with that.

 

I has plans for this truck, my daughter is going to driving it when she gets her license. This is a beast, but she won't get hurt if she gets into a fender bender. ;)

750 is big but not too big for a cammed 350. Boss 302 Mustangs used a 780 cfm. If there is room you could get some threaded rod and double stack the air filter but for anything less than full throttle it's more than enough.

Ok guys, it has been a long while since I have been around. So I guess it is time for an update.... :rolleyes:

 

My new employer (Prov) has been keeping me busy with training. I have recently accepted a promotion that requires me to travel between lab locations. And I am also finishing my degree the end of winter term 2010. My plate has been pretty full...so not much me time or time to play here with you guys.

 

The truck...well, I am sure you will not be surprised to hear I sold her to buy a more fuel efficient car..a Camry. :P I want to get another Datsun anyway so I am waiting until I have some things in order before I buy my next project.

 

Talk to you later,

Aaron

Ha, glad to see you again man. Not surprised you sold the truck. Family/school/work comes first! I'm sure you will get another datsun sometime this next year.

You have plenty of time to get that next Datsun project before next years Canby show.

 

Welcome back.
