Over the next year (2008-2009) hopefully I'll put a new motor in my '48 GMC pickup and fuel inject it and then turbo it. As of June 2008 the new motor is in the truck. The plan is this next winter ('08-'09) to first put fuel injection on it using a tunnel ram manifold where I'll remove the top section and make a forward facing plenum on the top for a throttle body. The runners will be drilled for fuel injection bungs and the fuel injection will be controlled with MegaSquirt. After that is successfully accomplished and run for a while I'll then turbo the motor. As I progress I'll try and document this build.
