Hey Andy. Thanks for the encouragement. Nice to see that you're still "lurking" on my progress. Tell Bern and all the other SoCal members Hi from me. Hope all is well.

Here are pics from today. Finished up the harness extensions and buttoned up the lines. Tomorrow starts the "odds and ends" and a complete review of my "to do" list. Then, load a map, install the WB and exciter, top off the battery and see if we can't make some assembly lube SMOKE

Getting closer. Planning to try a start later this afternoon (Sat). Wish me luck.

Got her running for the first time last night (3/7). Other than a few small fuel leaks and a leaky collector gasket, we should be FULLY good to go once the wideband shows up next week. Thanks to Glen and Tom from AZRR for their support and help with troubleshooting last night. Couldn't have done it without them. Excellent engines, products and support. Also, thanks to Steve Lieber who lent a hand or two as well during the evening. Can't wait to be out there running with you soon Stever!

Here are a few pics of today's test fit on my hood. I'm happy to announce that all of the IC piping clears the hood nicely, and those vents should really do their job in removing the heat this summer. Thanks again to everyone!! Brap, brap!!

Hey Tim, are those wastegate control lines & plastic zipties as close as they look like they are to the manifold?

They are actually quite a ways away. For lines, I used Parker Snaplocks and their Jiffy hose. Glen says that he's put a torch to the Jiffy hose and it came away unphased. Don't worry... I'll be keeping a close eye on everything, but thanks for the heads up!
