Ya lucky me i only work 4 days a week so i get lots of time to work on it.
Ace - i didnt consider shaving the brackets but now that you mention it i believe i will. As for the holes i was gonna just fill them all in with those circular plastic plugs. Might fill them in with the mig, not sure yet.
Deletions include - Entire A/C system. Entire Hicas system including all the hardlines. AIV system has been removed as i have aftermarket testpipes for her. All the coolant lines for the plenum have been removed. EGR system byebye. Carbon canister removed and vacuum lines being rerouted. All i can think of so far. I should have my block back on friday and i will put the bottom end together so ill put pics up then. Old EFI harness has been scrapped. New snap on injector connecters/harness. Keepin the heater core for those brisk days.
Any other considerations you have for me Ace ??
Booster - I plan on being finished mid - end of june roughly. All the new parts are hard on the wallet lol. ill have lots done each weekend though thursday through sunday. Keep watching
