sounds like you are having starting issues...sounds pretty good though.
yea - i think it has something to do with the check valve on the fuel pump not holding pressure. Full tank of gas it starts right up and anything less it takes two hard cranks if not warm'd up already.

FBODS4EVER - is that plenum ceramic or powdercoated? i am doing a 3.4. conversion in my 2.8 87 bird. i am using 3.4 motor with 2.8 plenum. i had it ported and ceramic coated. looks nice. where did you get the pacesetters and how much.
the upper intake was polished on the car. Lots of elbow grease and sandpaper. Uses a dremel or palm sander for the large areas. Oh and take the darn thing off to do it - sounds like u have the engine out of the car if your doing a swap anyway. Start with 100 grit and work your way up to 2000 or 2500 grit SP, then go get some mothers aluminum polish (little bit more than the other option at your local advanced/auto/pep store but it worked really well) Also if your looking for a power gain from your swap to the 3.4 from the 2.8 i would suggest going over to fullthrottlev6.com and looking into the upper intake swap and head swap as these 3.4 flow like **** on the top end.

The headers came from HerronPerformance for 342 shipped for free and quick. Great place. And if I would suggest getting the stage8 #6910 locking header bolts but i would not order from (well i wont mention the place) ordered on the 17th of last month and didnt recieve till the 1st of this month. so they did not make my header install and i have them on my desk right now - if u want them shoot me a PM and well work something out.
