Made a spacer for the computer mount out of some uhmw plastic, should work to get things closer to the bottom of the glove box insert. Have to figure out something for the rear now as its just floating there lol.

Thanks so much man! I'm just hoping I didn't screw up a perfectly good driving truck at this point lol.

I hope my floorboards don't pop off because of all the cold manifold pressures....

Also, save your old BBQ bits for occasions such as these.

I think once you get all the bugs worked out you’re going to love it. Having a classic truck with a modern engine is the perfect combination (imo). More power, better fuel economy…can’t go wrong!!

Last 90* came in last night so I chopped up the intake tubes to make everything line up and made a bracket to support the filter end.

The air scoop/deflector/box pieces got primed then painted white. I really like how it turned out, looks kinda neat.

Made up a bracket for the robot gas pedal out of flat bar today. Position seems okay.

What a pita, I'm glad I made the plastic template first.

Reinforced my intake bracket a little, she's rock solid now.
