    My shit is all stock.
    Still a worthwhile change. Especially if using a larger throttle body.

    Just the top fitting that you posted, to connect to the OEM hardline. So you'll only need a short hose from tank line to fuel filter, then another short line back to the OEM hard line. Look in Lucario Runner's build thread for the best photos.

    No higher boost numbers then any other well-designed intake that's out there.

    The best piece of advice that I can give you, is to use all quality fittings and line from the same manufacturer. Earl's Performance, Radium, whatever.

    If I go this route Radium looks good. I see @Lucario Runner was using that on his. Would go well with using Radium on the Fuel Rails when I get around to doing that.

    Taking a pass at seeing whats available with Radium:

    Radium Wise

    Fuel line connections
    14-0146 5/16in SAE Male to 6AN Male
    20-0290 5/16in SAE Female to 6AN Male

    Lines (took a guess just checking the site and @Lucario Runner setup
    6AN - 10.0 - ST - ST
    6AN - 17.5 - ST - 45

    Which connections did you guys use on the filter? were they radium? I did not see 6AN to 1/2 NPT unless you had some adapters.

    Fuel Filter
    https://www.fstperformance.com/rpm300 This is 1/2" NPT

    How would you compare to this one? its 8an with 8an to 6 an to line up the the fuel lines.
    https://www.fstperformance.com/rpm350

    Having the 1/2 setup better for use of 1/2 for other accessories? Looks like you guys were only using 2/4 outlets.

    When I pull mine, I'll hit the rest of the block. Looking great!!! How much more time before you drop her in the truck?

    Quit a bit. Doing at work in between jobs. And want to do it right. I still gotta figure some stuff out once I get the motor in but I’ll be happy to just have it back in the truck.

    port polish the blower

    get pulley wrap mod figured out

    Gotta figure out my fuel filter like everyone’s doing right now I see.

    oil pressure gauge. Don’t wanna loose oil pressure on this motor now

    fan? Stock or maybe Electric

    Way more stuff I’m forgetting.

    I just ordered another regular fan clutch..... have been debating the electric fan vs stock for some time. I'm not 100% sold on electric for our trucks yet. Like anything, you get mixed info about each. Was even considering a triple or quad electric fan setup.

    Fuel filter. I would jump on that ID750 in a heartbeat if it was half the price. I don't see a fuel filter for ~$500+


    Catch can too?

    Already running a catch can.
    I wanna get best fuel filter set up I can. Don’t want anything happening and running lean or clogging up my pretty new injectors.

    who’s gonna buy the stuff and sell it as a kit?

    (This is just me thinking out loud here, you don't have to listen to a word I have to say regarding the matter) I think you may be putting too much emphasis on certain aspects of the build here.

    The oil pressure gauge. I do agree oil pressure is an important item here, but we gotta be honest with ourselves. We are building higher than OE numbers HP trucks here, yes, but these aren't GM LS engines which have known garbage oil pumps and timing chain issues.

    Pulley wraps are so two years ago. If you use a Roush tensioner and a properly sized belt in correlation to the pulley size you are using there is no reason for a wrap mod. What size pulley are you going to run on your setup?

    I'm excited to continue to see your progress unravel on this thing. Once it's in I am even more excited to see what sort of power you are going to be making out of it!

    Gonna be running a 2.3 pulley. I want the oil pressure gauge cuZ I installed the crank bearings and after dumping this kinda money into a motor I’d like to be able to watch it. I no I don’t need it. But we don’t need boost gauges and fuel pressure gauges either. But got them lol. Piece of mind for me.
