A test fit later on with flipped inlet.

Note the now satin-black blower. The throttle body had to be flipped 180 to clear the new IAC location. A small steel bracket was bent to secure the throttle cable. It is actually a saleen-included part bolted onto the small black bracket. It is adjustable so I could take up the cable slack.


Also note the modified fuel rail. The two spring lock couplings were spares attached to test fitment - which was good because they would not have cleared the throttle linkage. The rail inlet/out were bent downward for more clearance.


Getting to the injector connectors and COPs in this location (#5, #6, #7) is VERY difficult. The #6 plug is virtually inaccessible to replace, but is possible if it really had to be done.

I used all double platinum finewire Ford Lightning plugs (2 steps colder) so I wouldn't have to deal with them for a LONG time (rated for 100k service interval, so at least 50k and I hardly drive the car anyway)
