stainless is cheaper than pipe fittings anymore, so i figured i'll use it. stainless begs for you to fluxcore it. welds beautifully when you don't have pot metal weeping casting oils all over the place :1

ford was fucked no matter how i looked at it. smoked ecu's, factory miswired harness, bent rod that was locked up, blown trans, no $

the manifolds are hmt's finest collaboration of fluxcore stainless and black iron, turbos are from rx7's. will be ordering a new holley 600 (a 2bbl 350cfm flows enough to feed these dinosaurs) and throwing a tophat on it. if i remember it right, i can boost reference the fuelpump, but i can't exactly buy them in stores anymore, so it's either going to be an electric one i can reference, or elec + 1:1 regulator (this ---- gets more $ than the rest of the build)
