Been moving forward, even if it has been slow...
Intake is back from Wilson Manifolds in Florida. I'm pleased with it.
I made the mistake of not sending a TB spacer with the TB, so there was confusion on how the throttle linkage would clear the fuel rail.
Because of this Wilson didn't want to cut the Intake Elbow down for hood clearance.
I didn't realize it until I got the intake back...
Now that I have everything here (including a 2" EGR spacer) I can have the elbow cut down locally.
The elbow is at a machine shop now, getting shortened by 1"
I also ordered a K-member from TeamZ, which will drop the engine 1"
That showed up today.
I mocked up the electric water pump some more. Tried a couple of different things, and think I will get the version of the pump that has the idler pulley on it. I'm attaching a photo of what it should come out looking like...
(in the pic, the idler is just kinda hanging there)
The intake still needs......
Fuel lines routed
Evac line for either a vent or vac pump, and baffle on the underside
Routing the wiring and relocating sensors to clean things up
Probably more that I'm not thinking of...
The engine parts still need to get shipped to Jim...
