Test fit on the manifold.

Still a little tight, but it clears. The fuel rail inlet, outlet and the one crossover barb which is on a tube rather than attached to rail were all slightly bent for clearance.


Note the blower case color before I paint...

After paint.

I painted the blower satin black and used a satin clear coat to protect it.

The fasteners were replaced with stainless socket button head bolts for looks


This is with the 'small' pulley installed.

Found this pic I snapped during the actual install

Having the entire manifold setup as a direct replacement with everything mounted (all new parts) made this go much faster. I left all the old parts attached to the stock manifold and plenum.
