Auguring Aggravation Of Agave August BS Thread

Tornado siren went off today to remind me of monthly obligations.

I've hogged out a couple of six packs worth of aluminum cans out of my 5.8 lower.

Target of a running engine before the month is out.

Stay safe, stay hydrated.

You only have a couple months before cruising the coast!

Around all this dumb weather, you gotta get the truck running.

I got roped into carpet, rug & floor cleaning due to a flea being found. Then groceries. Then mowing till dark cause Saturday got rain shortened & what's there still ain't knocked down.

Spent most of last week working on this hybrid 5.0 upper on 5.8 lower. Outside didn't have to be done, but it just begged for some sort of visual improvement. Its at the machine shop getting bead blasted:



Have a great week, y'all.

That intake looks great! A little hand polishing and some clear coat, that thing will be second to none!

Yeah, the hours spent on getting it that far exceed any great value. (WAY too many so far) It'd have TOO many flaws (some really deep gouges) that would just pop out in real life.

Its just going to get some cast aluminum VHT hightemp to make it even & easy more or less to keep clean without powdering up.

Thanks for the complement.

Them injector bungs used to be square, though...

Are you upgrading to bosh 4 hole injectors?

The stock injectors are high impedance right?

No. The injectors are already 4 hole Bosch. Yellow-orange 19 pounders. I have collected all the assorted stuff to change over to Mass Air & the plan was to do it long before building the engine. Just didn't work out that way. So it will get up & running on the stock speed density for the time being.
