If you didn't have oil pressure before with all that crankin, you do now!!!!!! Nice!

 

[slimt]

That is cool.

Can't wait to see it run after you work out all the bugs! 440'

It’s a dry sump system with 20w50. It pegged the gauge when it fired.

It’s the Holley Dominator EFI system. There’s plenty of bugs to work out.

That was awesome....congrats on the progress so far.

 

[69sunfireGTX]

Sweet!

Sounds like a beast. That is a LOT of stuff to hide behind the front bumper!
I've heard engines surge like that at times. Is it because they don't like to idle? They seem to run steady at higher rpms but the surging at idle has me curious.

In this case, it’s idling like that because I’m working the throttle with my hand because the dash is on the floor and in the way. It wouldn’t idle so I was trying to keep it alive. Once we get the tune dialed in, it should idle like a kitten.

Finished up the dash and added the laundry...

We still have a long way to go with the EFI. It won’t idle for some reason. It’s a lot to learn, big engine, 16 injectors, drive by wire, new software, etc.

That’s awesome!!

I know we talked about this but, i dont remember, how big is the motor and, you obviously havent dynoed the motor but, what kind of numbers are you hoping for when you take the car to dyno it?
