TPI SWAP

Finally got my TPI parts gathered and swapped in a TPI setup. Currently running a ported stock lower manifold, stock runners with flaws cleaned up, ported plenum, and stock throttle body.

I need to get some pictures of the completed swap, but these were made during the initial mockup during the conversion.

This is the first TPI fullsize van that I have seen, although I am sure someone else has done this, just not documented it.

well,well,well, where does one begin on such a awesome van, you really know your stuff. you must be a gearhead like me LOL. i don't think there is a word that is fitting for such a nice machine. to get more then 400hp at the wheels out of a 305cu in means the motor by itself must be close 500hp by itself, OUTSTANDING my hat is off to you. the 454cu in a van is way cool you'll be the ranks of the insane LOL, that what they sometime call me especially when i punch the throttle. i never knew tho that big block ever came in a van, but thanks to you i now know what van and year that they produced thanks for that. my front springs i think are starting to sag a bit on my van, being they are still stock and have had a big block siting on top of them, so at least now i know what to shop for. well my friend keep up the good work and the shine side up, i'll be checking back from time to time to see what you are doing. have a good one.

Fast, how have you been making out?? I am on the thirdgen site, liquidh8. Been in Iraq most of the year, I see you have made some progress on your projects. And the EBL has been treating you good too huh? I found out RBob has a new ebl out, no need to burn chips. We, if you haven't already, come check out my wagon.

There is a lot of nice work you did on the engine! Check out my van - I only hope it turns out half as nice as yours. Chris, you should join the Vanner group, as I bet there's a lot of awesome tech stuff you could share, and I'm sure some benefit will roll your way as well. Check it out.
