We are finding them on the internets....
Here's a picture to hold you over for now Bobm, I'm back on the 53 for a few days and finishing up machining the third injector set.

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
That the truck you bought?? 
The model in front is much exponentially more expensive than either of the two in the back...
Both would be a good ride tho......The model in front is much exponentially more expensive than either of the two in the back...

Started plumbing, had to modify a tube bender to make some of these lines but I'm happy so far.

Went back to the shop after dinner and finished the last four...
Right arm
question…what are the outside tubes feeding. The injectors I can see are on the inside…

I’ll be using the Holley Terminator X engine management system to control this mess and it has an on-board one-bar MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) that is required for it to do its job.
I had two choices to provide the reference it wants 1) try to hide it under the manifold with some plastic line or 2) embrace it and try to make it look cool on the outside. I bought braded lines and black fittings and stainless ¼” hard line with stainless fittings to run the fuel and vacuum and originally planned to use one of them once I got to this point. After seeing the gold stacks I felt like copper lines and brass fittings was going to look better on this project so that’s what we got.
I’ll mark everything and strip this all back apart so I can make the rest of the junk and get it Cerakoted before final assembly but I kind of like the direction its going so far.
Ok now I understand, the 510 guys had similar MAP issues doing individual throttle bodies on a side-draft manifold.
I like your solution.

Not only do you need individual cylinder reference with a stack style injector but is has to be under the butterfly so it’s easy to run out of space and options quickly, I spent more time on the split fuel block and thinking about how to plumb all this than I want to admit.

That's some 
crazy bending. Looks great

Time to put the tube benders away for a bit and try to come up with something for the throttle linkage, I need to cut the throttle shafts and add some flexible bellows so I'm not sure if the old sprint car stuff will work...

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
I would Clear coat Copper n Brass instead of Cerrakote

Not to throw wrench in you plans! What about 1 main fuel rail down the center with feeds to injectors off the main?? Would be cleaner.

Yes I could have made this look like an LS engine and saved a bunch of time and money..
But you know me better than that...
