Inglese Fuel Injection Fail

Here is a video on the installation of an Inglese stack 8 fuel injection system. There were several MAJOR problems with this unit and here are several things to check before installing your intake system.
Aside from mismatched intake gaskets, wrong gaskets, intake having metal shavings inside, lack of PCV and Brake ports, and TOTAL LACK of instructions... This is a pretty nice setup...

the gasket doesnt fit your motor because you have vortec heads that manifold is ment for non vortec heads you cant use non vortec manifolds on vortec heads thats your bad get a nice set of old school heads. but there is also no excuse for all those metal shavings

@SuBN01z3RaT The crate ZZ383 is made for either manifold, those aren't vortecs (vortec is iron) it is a vortec style head which will out flow any ported old school head you can find. Inglese sells this kit as a bolt on for the ZZ383, their bad actually. I just engineered it to work with actual gaskets instead of plates. And for the record, it works the way I did it. I actually did another just like it with success. Thanks for watching and commenting. Inglese wants me to pull this video BTW!

Was that costom? Sometimes they get dimentions wrong with engines or send you the wrong part. I'm sure if you sent it back the next one won't be so bad.

@MrTpengineer It's a complete system that you can purchase for just over $4000.00 For that kind of money I would expect.... No I would DEMAND it be perfect. I mean dang it's a friggin small block chevy for crying out loud. I have almost a week of re-engineering on their product. Maybe I need to work for them!

do they make a set for the vortec style heads? that's where all the problem in the fit lies... on a normal style SBC head the fit would of been good and could use those gaskets.

[rickcperry]

@mongoose09 Those were not gaskets, that was aluminum plates for shims. The ZZ383 has vortec style heads which have a taller runner. Even a non-vortec head would not seal with the plates that they shipped.

Great video, thanks for posting.

I cannot believe a company would put so much good engineering into something yet fall short on some of the most basic aspects of design, and manufacturing. Thanks for sharing and tell them that if they didn't want videos like this about their product they shouldn't have taken something awesome and done such a shotty job.

this is a priceless video...and before its lost you should definately download it for future reference...

im about to bite the bullet for this system and this video is a jewel to find...thank you.

@rickcperry oh thats convenient about those heads and dont remove the video anyone who gets this kit should see this video so they can make sure they dont destroy a motor if theres has metal shavings in the vacuum chamber

[rickcperry]

@holdmycupwatchthis Not with current kits on the market because of the 8 stack inlets. Also the computer doesn't allow for turbo in it's firmware. You'd have to have F.A.S.T. make you a custom program and by that time you could have simply installed another EFI management system. In short...No you can't

@rickcperry Wow, I googled a Efi system similare to that that was 1,200$ but hey, i'm cheap :) I think it was Easy Efi.
