Thought I'd start a new thread on this so that the info/progress is all in one place.
The end goal is to have this TP dual plane running on a 304 in the HJ. But first the plan is to get it running and driving in another V8 Statesman I currently have here. This means when I put the 'new' engine in with new cam, rings and bearings I can be confident it'll start, run and drive so it can be properly run in. The tuning is what concerns me the most but not the end of the world if I stuff something up on an old engine.
The previous owner had snapped a bolt off in one of the injector rail mount bosses, then tried to removed it with an ezy out and snapped that in there too which is why i got it for a good price. Cut the top off the boss and drilled and retapped a new hole.
Purchased one of these from SSS/AT/Procomp. Not sure on quality but seems okay so far. Uses a ford 351 TPS and a GM IAC. Should do the job.
Polished one of the fuel rails and crossover today and started fitting sensors and fittings.
Throttlebody gasket and stud kit have been ordered too
