I'll swing by my storage later and get some pics and post them up. Be picked up the intake from Summit.

I was wrong on the motor. This is the unit here, a bored and stroked 454.

This being the case I guess my question would be is the FI a bolt up and go deal, or do you send the ECU out to get flashed like I do with motorcycles?

Is it a fitment issue or bad parts?

ok me personally have run across a bad set of cylinder heads castings were thin and leaked water into the cylinders..from what i see from people is that they are not machined properly to spec..typical china parts..

Ah... Yea it looked like basically a cheap truck motor.
