I said the hell with it today and after putting pressure test on radiator and all that jazz, couldnt find a leak with 16 psi on it. So just decided to take the intake off and I was suprised at what I saw. I had been trying to figure out were in the hell all of my oil was going (truck does NOT burn oil) low and behold take a gander at the pic! second I tore some junk off and got to peak behind the intake and saw antifreeze dripping down on top of tranny! I was very happy to see that instead of having to remove the motor. Now I get to make her all clean and pretty and maybe some new paint

Well ain't that pretty! When I did my plenum I saw that the small hose from the pump to the manifold was about to blow up. Luckily I was able to see it and replace it before that happened. Can't see that little bugger with everything put together.

 

yeah shes quite the jewl lol. Its kinda funny how some automakers design some things.

 

Got a few things done today... Cleaned up the KEG today and painted it, installed new plenum pan gasket, put new orings on injectors. Hopefully I can clean up the rest of the motor and paint the block and paint valve covers, and paint my headers.....

Looks great man! I wasn't that motivated.

 

lol thanks! Hopefully I will get the rest finished up by next weekend!

 

So you only replaced the gasket or did you put a Hughes plate on also?

 

ops sorry lol forgot to add the hughes plate into what I put on. So yes to answer your question I did replace with Hughes plate.

 

has anyone bored out the top of the intake ports for the tb? didnt know if it would help anything. Im looking at getting bigger tb

 

won't do anything unless you match the size of the throttle body with the holes. That would be a HUGE throttle body.
