Did some schtuff. I'm still waiting on OEM parts and a valve cover before I tension the timing belt and put my accessories on.

Got a package from Amsoil!!



Break in oil:



My Air Filter for my 3" SD setup, which is a BEAST:





Rail and injectors on:



Fresh coolant pipe on:



Thermostat Housing on:




I've been trying to think out how to hide wires, and this was a no brainer! You can just unplug it, route it behind the bracket, and plug it back in!

 

This build is looking fantastic, my friend.

 

i concur, the more i keep seeing SD setups the more im tempted.. im def gonna do it after getting my car running to make sure everything is ok...

intake setup is ****

 

I have not had any issues whatsoever since making the switch last week, my friend. The car actually drives smoother.

 

Thank ya!.

I'm really never going to expect this car to get done. I purchased a valve cover so I can finish timing the car, and it turns out that the guy misunderstood what I needed and sent me a Spark Plug Cover by accident. He's a great guy and dealt with the situation in a very professional manner, but I just thought to myself that it's "my luck" with the car thus far.

Thus, I think I'll finish working over my old VC with some JB Weld and use it until I can locate another one, just so I can get this dang thing on the road. I need to throw the VC on, time it, put the accessories on, put it on the hoist to do the rear main, then the oil pan, then put the motor in the car. Seems like a world away.

However, I did receive the stock VIII ECU, my new NT03+m that will be painted to match the rest of the set, and a million Wix filters.

I've been working on my own AN/Stainless Line Power Steering Kit with an inline Cooler recently, and I'll be sure to post up pictures. I'll be getting the materials for a few sets to see if there's any interest out there for them!

I'll update this later with pictures.

 

Looking good buddy!

 

Thanks, mang!

Finally got a dang Valve Cover. Now to time the motor again.

 

I've been holding back, as I really haven't worked on the car much.

Here's summm to hold yah'll over.




I've decided on a color that should go very well with the engine bay: Wrinkle Plum.

One of these days I'll get some work done and get this on the road. I'm in no rush any more.

 

I love how this looks. It gives the "yeah right" factor in my opinion.

 

The more I look at it, the more I want to keep it and be "that guy".

 

It is a good marketing slogan for sure.

 

You might have something there! Mind if I use it

 

That's what I'm sayin'!

Technically most of us have stock blocks and cranks, right?

 

That is very true. Way to find the loophole, my friend.

 

Lol!!! 100% stock cam gears.
