Check out the Maximum Motorsports steering shaft compared to the stock one. This may not have been necessary but I figure why the hell not?



And here is the short block finally put in its place.



Hey FivePtOhh, since you have to one up everyone... I got better ground cables to match you...



The hi torque mini starter and poly motor mounts installed.



The stock e7 heads installed with Trickflow Lifters and Trickflow Valve Spring Kit.

Finally got around to playing with the car and posting some pics. Finally got the car on a lift to get the exhaust hung right. All that's left to do is fix a minor idle fluctuation, which is most likely a bad IAC.

Here are some month old pics of the engine finally assembled.

what paint you use? rattle cans? it looks pretty nice if it is rattle cans.

i used acrylic urathane and i was afraid of it cracking with heat, but so far it looks brand new.

idle fluctuation could be due to ur MAF being crooked
