350 TPI/700R4 into '86 442

I don't know how to make them larger. Maybe my image size is too small?
They're in my only photo album, so maybe they can be viewed larger there?

That is a very nice looking install. It could very easily pass for factory.

That's the whole reason I went with the TPI. I wanted it to look like something the factory would have pulled off. I am considering going for a factory W-30 look and painting the wheel wells red and doing a hood with scoops. I am planning to dissassemble and paint it this fall after the Woodward Dream Cruise.

I think if the price includes an ECU it should be fair. I am not sure what you'd have in a computor. My AFI harness came with a new ALDL and check engine light. I have a friend that used to do wire harnesses on the side, I'll see if he still has the stuff and what he'd want to put one together.
For the transmission I bolted a plate to the bottom of the tailstock that would bolt to a standard transmission mount.
I gotta get the pics rounded up and see if I can get them up here.

I talked to my freind that did the harnesses. He told me the last few he did he accually went to Painless for. He said he could hardly assemble them for the $300 Painless gets, considering the time it takes to assemble. His harnesses he ordered came without ECU and were wired for with EGR. He said they have a few options on length and were a nice quality piece.
Sorry it took so long to get this info back, I had called him the other day and didn't hear back, so I waited thinking he may be on vacation or something. Turns out he didn't get my message.

For the hood, you might want to check out this link. You'll be impressed.

I've been on that site. The hoods look like quality stuff, but I don't know if I like the way the intakes angle back at a different angle than the front edge of the header. It looks to be similar to the original early '70s cars, but the grilles angled back the same as the intakes on those. I've seen more pics of that hood on other cars and thought if the intakes were the same as the front of the header it would look better. IMO

for injection harnesses you should check out the detail zone in delaware
I have used a couple of their harnesses for LS1 swaps and the were plug and go they were great to deal with http://www.thedetailzone.com/
