Coming together....






9-9-2009

Got it started up on Saturday, 40 psi at idle, very responsive even with the Voodoo 60511 cam.

Anyway, I didn't like how the stock DBW pedal was going to work in the car so I cut off most of the DBW pedal arm, cut up the stock Datsun gas pedal arm, and welded everything back together. I also welded on a plate that allows me to bolt the DBW assembly to the firewall using the original 3 bolt holes that held the stock Datsun pedal to the firewall. Although the pics don't show it, I drilled the three holes using the stock plate as a template and it bolted right up, no problems, and looks stock unless you are on your back looking up the dash.

I also decided to save some coin and build my own cold air intake with some parts from truck LSx swap and a few hardware store pieces.

I am trying to get everything back together before Friday's local cruise night, not sure if I'll make it, but I'm doing my best.
