Default ZZ4 383/200R EZ-EFI 2.0 fuel injection

Here it is.. just now adding a cold air kit...

The last photo should how it will work. Custom carbon fiber box and K&N filter outside in the cold air...


Will use a plenum cap with a air hose connection... short tube or piece of tubing to connect the two.

This mod alone (cool air intake) gave me another 50 hp! LOL
A good polishing gives me yet another 10! (snicker)

He, he!!!


I was loading stuff into the boot of my car the other day.
The "XJ6'" badge on the right looked dull and worn.
Just above it, the 8 in a V shone nice and bright.
Dare, I remove the dull one???


That turbo'd SBC is looking great in it's neat home.
Not to slight Elinor and Roger.


Mine is decent, but, not up to that level, I think.


Yet, I just might....


I don't miss the extra HP I'd get if I worked in
cold air...


Present it is a conical off a tube in the bay.
Looks almost OK and cleans air well, No
whoosh silence, though???


Garden/jungle comes next.... Oh, a big limb
to fell before it fells itself. Just finished One big
sucker...

They all put mine to shame!! As long as its clean and runs im good, the chrome, paint and polish dont make it run any nicer, having a pretty engine wont make me any better looking !!!

When the brand new exhaust manifolds that I got for next to no money at all were installed. Very happy with this engine too but it would not run right. It will be replaced (with a 6!) and the car will be restored.

Something different. Took this while I had the head off to replace a blown gasket.
