Updates!
Got the fuel pump assembly completed. I'm still not sure about the foam/rubber sleeve but I'll pull it in a few weeks to see how it's holding up - it's ~1/4 submersed in gasoline.
Cut out the stock fuel lines. There's really not a whole lot there. I'm going to try to reuse the stock brackets with a little modification.
New parts to go in:
I ended up making a bracket to mount the FPR. Bare steel for now, but I will be painting it black.
The new fuel filter actually fit in the stock location. It's a little smaller in diameter than the stock filter but I added some foam insulating tape to the stock bracket and everything is nice and snug.
You can see the lines in the picture above. I need to get some more fittings as I was too optimistic with all the straight hose ends. I actually need like 3 90 degree ends and one 30 degree and that should be enough to finish up. Plans changed a little because THIS came in and I had a chance to mock everything up!
My custom aluminum intake manifold arrived (thanks Logan!). The port sizes are matched to my throttle bodies and engine. Some quick mock-up pictures:
I grabbed the alternator and sure enough there's some interference with the TPS sensor and the airhorns.
A minor setback. The alternator is getting relocated to the driver's side of the engine where the P/S and A/C used to be with an XTreme Rotaries bracket. Hopefully that won't interfere with the steering column since it's designed with Aussy cars in mind. There's also going to be a tight fit between the TPS sensor and water temp sensor leads.
One last mock up shot with the injectors for shits.
Oddly enough the manifold doesn't fit on my old 6-port engine that I'm using as a dummy while I lay out everything on-car. I'm not sure if the bolt pattern is slightly different or if some of the studs are bent. I'll mess with the studs so it'll fit and I can continue.
Immediate to-do list (in no particular order):
-Install intake onto dummy enigne and wire injectors and TPS.
-Finish fuel lines.
-Build airbox and install/wire IAT sensor.
-Relocate/wire alternator.
-De-power steering rack.
-Wire starter
