    A Very Small Bit of Progress

    Figured I post up some pics of the truck after doing a small bit of work to it. I was making good progress getting wiring done and some other assembly, but in a bit of a holding pattern now as I've been talking with a shop to do my cage. No way I wanted to leave any electronics in the truck with all the welding going to be done, I pulled that all out to be safe. Decided to go with one of the new Motion Raceworks fuel pressure regulators and mount it to the fuel rail. So far it's working out really nice and is waaay smaller. If anyone needs a brand new Aeromotive regulator let me know! I also made a little bracket for the boost control MAC valves and got those wired up as well, if you look close at where the MAC valves are mounted you might be able to see a little magnetic zip tie mount I made by 3D printing the base then gluing a magnet to it. Works great!

    I'm not familiar with your build.  What are the engine specs?

    Re: A Very Small Bit of Progress

    The long block is from Ford Strokers, it's a 427w DART block, TFS 11R 205 heads that have been CNC'd by TEA, a wimpy 9.2:1 compression (built for lots of boost), decent sized hydraulic roller and all forged bottom end. EFI is all Haltech with one of their Nexus R5's running the show. Fuel system is made for E85 with an Aeromotive 20 gal fuel cell and one of their in-tank 5.0 GPM brushless pumps, injectors are Injector Dynamics ID1700x (160 lb/hr). I still have to run all the plumbing for the twin Bullseye turbos and water lines for the air to water intercooler on top of the Holley High Ram base. With the coil-near-plug and that High Ram people mistake it for an LS motor at 1st glance, but it's still all Ford, just no distributor

    My goal is to run in the 8.50 class in some of the Drag and Drive events.

    Since you mentioned it Raymond…

    Are those LS turbo headers with SBF flanges?

    I have some buddies that did the LS header swap, they actually worked out fairly nice. But mine are from Stainless Headers, it's their "modular" turbo header https://www.stainlessheaders.com/ford-bolton-turbo-headers
