What kind of plug wire looms are those? New engine looks sweet BTW

Also, why do you have your tensioner upsidedown?

First thing I did with the car was 31 spline upgrade, 4.10's and drag radials.

The wire looms I got a summit racing and they are made by R&M Specialties.
Old motors power was 277hp 295tq. I hope the new motor is higher but I doubt I'll ever dyno it. I'm just usinghci I already had to work with, eventually I'll upgrade the hci setup.
