Engine Update...

Well, got back from vacation yesterday, put a full day in on the car and made some pretty good progress. Tomorrow I am going to pull the old wiring harness and put the new one in. Here are a few pics of the engine.

Very nice. Can't wait to see it run in Tucson. You're going to race, arent you?

I don't know what you would gain, but depending on your cam I think you will gain some significant top end hp. I think it made something like 53hp over the stock TPI intake on a stock L98. That’s not a peek number though.

The 4th is coming up pretty quick. I might not be able to make this gathering. I didn't get as far as a wanted after spring break and right now I am bogged down with school (engineering). I will know after this weekend. Esams I will give you a call when I have the fuel rails hooked up so you can take a look (you wanted to see them right).

I should have waited a few months for this one.

Looks pretty sweet, I must say. My question is.. what are you going to do about emmissions here in AZ? Register the car out of Maricopa county?? A HSR won't pass..or so I've been told. That's my only reason for not buying one myself.

That is going to be a nice looking engine!

It will be a huge improvement over TBI!

Good luck with the wiring harness.

I think if it can just pass the sniffer I will be alright, but if they say they won't pass it because of the lack of EGR I will probably end up registering it out in Maricopa county.

Well, doesn't look like I will make the gathering the 4th. I can't find anyone with a cherry picker, so if anyone has one that I can borrow shoot me an email/PM please. The engine if pretty much ready to put in the car. I polished the plenum and painted it, took forever. The wiring harness is almost completely installed. Just need a few parts to complete everything. I am looking for the water crossover on the bottom of a TPI throttle body, and the bracket that holds the throttle/trans cables.
