306 EFI build - BucknEB - 01-16-2012
No problem, it was a fun weekend. There's nothing better than hearing that engine fire up after a long weekend spent in the garage. Thanks for letting me test drive it too. Jealousy is an evil sin, damn you
upergrin: I know you like that custom upper rad hose I cut up for you also.:xyxthumbs: Aside from the minor problems i.e bad fuel injectors, crocked motor mount. I'd say we had pretty good luck on this one. I can only hope that my EFI swap goes half as well.

Good to see it up and running again. What upper radiator hose is that? I like how it comes in front of the PS res. rather than through it or behind it.
Sounds killler!!

It is the upper Radiator hose for a '68 Pontiac GTO 400cid, then trimmed about 6''-8'' off the engine side.

sounds awesome chuck! looks like you found that 5.0 tone you been looking for!
306 EFI build - blazinchuck - 01-17-2012
yeah, im very pleased with it. i think i nailed the "sound" i was looking for
heres a few more pics...
couple of the old timing chain, the new timing chain, also the reason i ditched the Tbird fuel rail... interfering with the hard heater hose and sensor. went back to the stock mustang fuel rail
306 EFI build - SC74 - 01-17-2012
That's a bummer about the t-bird fuel rail. I wish I had a schrader vavle to check fuel pressure and could have used it a couple times by now. I was hoping to find one off a t-bird but won't even look now.
I have that same hose but didn't even consider clocking it like you have it. I'll look closer tonight and see. What lower hose are you running? I have heard good things about a 7.3L powerstroke lower hose working but have not tried it yet - waiting to replace my radiator before taking my exhaust tubing one off.

Get rid of those hard heater line.The ECT sensor can go elsewhere. This will give you the option to have that T-bird rail.
