EFI intake lessons learned

1. Have to modify the fire wall with big hammer, intake didn't like to fit.
2. The vaccum fitting for the map relocates to the bottom of upper plenum. Stock vacuum line does flex enough to connect there so get vacuum line.
3. Put runner access plate on prior to installing upper plenum.
4. Run tap through all treaded fittings, they are very tight, the EGR stripped out on me. Retapped, good to go.
5. You can run tall valve covers to fit over roller rockers thanks to taller plenum runners.
6. It looks much better, less clustered on pass side.
7. Upper right hand bolt on throttle body is 1/4" to long. Hits plenum elbow.

Is this the "Truck Performer intake"

I run the car style upper on my 357w, no need to mod the fire wall with it.
(But you do have other stuff to convert to run it)

Hey fishinmachine, when you get the chance can you post some pics? I'm doing pretty much the same build as you know, and the pics would be really helpful.
