went ahead and started final assembly. even got it test fired and it started right up. i forogt to bypass the tranny cooler so it spewed alot of ATF on the ground so i shut it off after a few seconds.

got the intake and throttle body mounted. i mounted the intake facing the opposite way than its designed which i felt would be best to clear the A/C box and be easier to mount to the air filter housing. i used a 3/8" phenolic intake spacer instead of the 1" spacer due to clearance issues with the firewall and wiper motor

i am using a 200amp alternator with 6 guage wire. i replaced the saginaw power steering pump with a new one.

i reused my flexible intake tube and used a 90* and a 45* Spectre intake elbow to connect to the intake box. currently i am still using the stock MAF sensor but it will probably soon be replaced with a calibrated MAF for 75mm housing and 42lb injectors
