Ok lets see if this worked....



Just finished kitbashing this from 2 trucks. This truck (new) ran great but had a fuel system problem - 10mpg! so I had a perfectly good system on old that I grafted over, with all the known good sensors and the like. Even has a customized harness which you cannot see. Its on a patch of an engine - the 302 is coming out in spring for a 347. the rest of the truck Ill start a project page for.

I know this is an older thread. I thought it would be better to continue this one rather than start a new one.

I thought it would be nice to see some more trucks engine compartments.

Here is an updated picture of mine. It didn't turn out very well. Anyway, I dumped the FIPK "hot" air intake and put the stock air box back on with KN drop in and I6/460 tube.

I'll get some better underhood pictures soon.

Any perceptable increase in performance with the drop in KN and the 460 intake tube? I wish that I had the MAF intake from the factory.

Be sure to use a flash when taking underhood pictures-even when it is daylight outside. The flash will make the details of the engine bay much more apparent in the photo.

You'll notice I went with the red....I think it turned out great and it matched my skyjacker suspension pretty well. I also used red FRPP plug wires.

Havn't even driven it yet
Oh dude...


I totally want that thing in my truck.

I can tell you that fuel economy is about 18 mpg mix. It was 15 before. The truck also runs smoother on the highway with the AC on.

I don't know about the power increase. I got the I6/460 tube because it just makes much more sense and it looks like a better setup.

Don't waste your money on any of the open air filter kits like the FIPK.

I would not mind having that on mine. I bet that is a hell of a lot more fun to drive.

I got some better pictures of my truck's 302. I deleted the other one that was too dark. In the last pick you can see the intake tube mod.
