Here is the frame painted with three coats of POR15 and 2 coats of POR 15 chassis black.

 

Looking good. What fuel injection system did you use?

You took the words right out of my mouth...i was wondering the same thing...i would LOVE to put Fuel Injection on my 428!!

 

It is a MegaSquirt 3 DIY set up. I had to do a bit of fab work on the engine (crank and cam signals) to do sequential.fuel and spark.
Look at the following link for info.
MegaSquirt-3 Engine Management System
I have lots of pictures. I did it in stages...

 

I've heard of Megasquirt but never messed with it. It's commonly used on turbo imports.

MegaSquirt is very flexible. It can be using on almost anything from a V12 to even a 1 cyl lawnmower engine.
There is a company that makes a plug and play set up ( DIYAutoTune.com Megasquirt Kits / Assembled Engine Management Systems, Wideband o2 Sensor Systems and tuning products ) for some popular applications.
There is nothing MegaSquirt wise for a FE plug and play wise. It requires a lot of DIY work.
I had good success with it, I drove with it for about a year in various modes and found it to be reliable.Even more fantastic was how well my FE ran under all conditions.

 

Subscribed.
I like this build already.
Looks like you're off to a great start.
These projects kinda take on a life of their own.
Keep us updated and keep the pictures flowing.

 

So did you have to drill the intake for the injector rail??

 

Edelbrock has a bolt on intake manifold with the injector holes in it for multiple applications.

WOW!!! I want one now!!! lol

 

First... I spent quite a lot of money doing that. It is a hobby! ?

The intake manifold is a EFI Edelbrock, with Edelbrock fuel rails. The injectors are Delphi 30 Lb/Hr. The cam sensor is from a 2005 Impala, The coils are from a 2004 Taho, The throttle body is from a 2002 Ford V10 (out of a F250) The intake to throttle body plenum is from a 94 Fold 7.5L the crank trigger is DIY with the tooth wheel from a place in the UK. Some machine work was involved in mounting the crank trigger wheel mounted to the sleeve on the crank shaft behind the damper. There are a number of temp sensors for air and coolant, they are all GM. Each header collector has a O2 sensor. The system currently runs closed loop (last September when it last ran). I have a MAF sensor from a 2002 Ford F250, but I have not hooked it up yet. The MS software allows for a number of modes, and some modes can be mixed (blended) depending on rpm and/or load..

 

very nice! i'll be following this build as well. please keep us updated

 

These parts got three coats of Por15 and 3 coats of POR Hardnose. It takes about a week for the Hardnose paint to cure. So these parts were just hanging out. Once cured it seems to be really hard.

 

Front end parts got the same treatment. Three coats of POR15 and three coats of POR Hardnose. I dropped one of the front axles on to the floor while trying to install it. It did not even smudge.
I need a paint booth upgrade. Think Grinnergetter had a great idea with his instant shelter.

 

Here is the rear assembled. I bought front and rear Addo sway bars about 12 years ago. The front was easy to install, the rear bar sat in the box as I found it impossible to install. Just before removing the rear springs and axle, I found it quite easy to install, I installed it drilled the holes and welded the brackets to the axle. Then removed it all stand blasted everything then painted it. The axle has a very nice finish, unfortunately I had a little accident with a can of antiseeze which spattered all over. Before I get the cab and bed back on I will do some wash up.
