STM FF manifold, turbo tuff rods with ARP 625+ bolts, and MAP H11 head studs have arrived. Now i'm just waiting for the engine bearings, then its off to the machine shop.

I'm very happy with the quality of the manifold. Can't wait to mock it up with the turbo on the car

Should be a blast man.

The last of the major engine parts arrived. Main, rod, and thrust bearings. I am going to drop the motor off to the machine shop Monday or Tuesday

Thank you Tom for getting me good deals on all the parts you see in this thread Everything arrived so fast.

Took the engine harness out so I can delete a crap ton of wire/plugs, make it cleaner, tucked style, and wrap with techflex or similar braided sleeve on all of it.



ABS plug itself has a stupid amount of wires.....

Haven't gotten it back yet. Hopefully soon


The machine shop has the block and all my parts. I should have it all back early next week.

Recap of what they're doing:

Hot tanking the block
Magnafluxing
Boring .020 over with TQ plate
Surfacing the deck
Line honing my main journals for the ARP main studs
Blue printing
Balancing the internals

Got the head back today from Curt. This has to be the nicest port work I've seen.
