Looking good. You gonna be running an oem TB or an AM? Drive by cable in guessing?

Wire.
I've got an oem throttle body off a 6.2 I'm going to go with.
Currently just going to keep the truck intake. It's not the most asthetically appealing but from what I've read, the affordable fabricated manifolds tend to kill the bottom end power.

No call to Jeg's required..
Fan shroud showed up today.

The universal fans will look pretty good provided I drill the mounting holes in a semi straight manner..

Plenty of room to the engine.

I'll need to space the radiator out from the support due to the tank wanting to contact the support.
No biggie. I'll try to find some type of black plastic strip to fill that gap.

I'll have to lightly hit the lower mounting holes as the slots are maybe 1/16" low to match up with the bolt holes, but overall, I'm happy with this Champion unit for the cost. Looks just as nice as the $1500 radiators.

Got the fuel pump in. Need fittings for lines and to make a wiring pigtail.

After a bunch of reading and number crunching and so on and so forth, I think I'm going nylon for the fuel lines.
Fittings are cheaper. It's easy to work with. I have access to all the stuff to make the lines and the quick connect fittings at work.
Lines themselves are more compact which gives me more room routing them to the front.
I work with the stuff regularly.
It supports the HP levels of Corvette Z06's and the Camaro ZL1. It will feed my cammed 5.3 sufficiently I figure.

Do you have the ability to make the metal side push connects too? I love my hydraulic flaring tool it makes some really cool stuff

Looks like I might be getting an intake after all.
It's very close to the hood. The throttle body has maybe 1/4" clearance.

Many of the aftermarket intakes say drive by cable throttle body only.
Some don't specify.
I really can't figure why a intake would work with a cable throttle but not a drive by wire..

My only complaint so far on the Holley terminator is that is requires a certain accelerator pedal, throttle body and a manifold temp sensor that they don't tell you about until you read the instructions.

Because I'm using drive by wire, there's a few connections I don't use. I'm thinking once I get the engine to start, I'll disassemble the harness and remove/relocate those leads to hide them. The harness is not finish routed in these pics. Just trying layouts and seeing how it's going to work..20241031_133620.jpg20241101_122735.jpg20241101_124206.jpg
