    Normally I'm real anal about stripping the engine bays completely, painting them, hiding all the wires etc. I just want to get this up and running asap(which isnt fast since the car is located 200 miles away from me). When I put the dart setup in then I'll worry about cleaning up everything..

    AJE K-Member setup, 90/10's, MMR coilovers, flaming river rack, new bearings, brakes(rusting like crazy though, etc. installed...



    Engine and transmission installed...



    Mocking Hellion system for modification....



    Fitment issues...

    1st problem I encountered was the driver side header hitting the steering shaft. Fixed this issue by using offset bushings on the rack to force it down, also by raising the engine 1/4" up.


    2nd problem my crossover and larger wastegate setup wont work at all with my c/4 Transmission. This is probally due for 2 reason.. One the setup isn't made for a Auto setup. Two, I already have to modify to make it work on my canfield heads because of the raised exhaust ports(note my crappy welding before). The race gate wont tuck under like the Evolution setup did. But It is still higher then most of the exhaust so hopefully no problems will arrise from that..




    and just some random pictures....

    Hey all, this is my old car, and I'm glad to see that it's in great hands, keep up the great work Justin! Have you diagnosed the POS that was the old motor?

    That PVC blockoff is a sweet little tip I've never seen anywhere. Thanks.

    I just noticed that PVC plug as well. What did you use for that?

    God I hate it when I use PVC instead of PCV.. oh well.

    I think it's one of those freezeplug things I've seen at various parts stores. I could be wrong.
