As always, things move slower than anticipated, but forward progress is still being made. Yesterday, All of the fuel system was converted to EFI standards, including a firewall mounted regulator and inline pump, return, and EFI rated fuel line. Some of the wiring is done, such as the new harness to old harness splicing. I decided to use a pair of "Flat four" trailer wiring extensions (cut in half to give me two pigtails that will plug into each other) to make my new harness "plug into" the old, rather than solder it directly into the original harness. First startup video coming soon!

Default It Runs! VICTORY!!!

After fighting fuel delivery for a few days, I finally got it to fire off! Newly rebuilt engine, custom EFI transplant wiring harness, homebrewed fuel delivery, and it runs GREAT! Pictures and First start video will be uploaded soon!

Lol. I will probably get a 14x3, but the old one will work in the meantime. Thanks.
