Here is how my dad and I tossed my 383 in with it's superram completely assembled (minus lid and TB). I know some of you guys wanted to see a pic or two so here they are. It helps that I have a manual trans so I just drop the motor straight down. No major feat here, just a simple idea. It was way easier to bolt the superram together on the stand than it would have been to lean over the fenders and do it. Again no major breakthroughs here, just some pics for the guys doing this for the first time like I was...

 

Here is how I strapped in my big fat hoss Hooker 2210s to the fenders before I dropped the engine in....

 

How are you plugging the wire harness into the injectors?

Whenever I installed my SuperRam, I ran the wire harness under the plenum.

 

I am going to try to fish the plugs under the plenum, but I doubt it will work. I'll most likely just plug them in from the outside like stock. I already have the wires wrapped in black corrugated tubing.

 

That is amazing, I know you cant do that on a C4.

 

Yeah thats the best way to do it if the engine is in the car putting thoes in gets to be a big PITA

 

Good idea on the header! I didn't notice the wiper motor in the pics, the clearance on it is "minimal" (I broke the cover on mine when I installed the motor). Did you pull it off before dropping in the motor? Good idea if you did....

 

Yah I took the wiper motor off to clean up all the wiring back there anyway, so I just left it off. There should be plenty of room to reinstall it with the intake on. It should also be noted that the tab bolted to the back of the drivers side cylinder head is bent at about a 30degree angle just above the bolt. This kept the chain off the intake, and you can see there is still room between the firewall and the chain. The tab on the rear of the passenger side cylinder head is straight and it barely clears the heater hoses so I had to be a bit careful there but it wasnt too bad really. The big guy in the photo is my dad, he is the shop boss.

 

Sounds liek a very well planned and executed install - congrats!!!!

 

very cool, i cant wait to someday pull my motor out rebuild it and throw it back in...looks fun!
