Wow, engine bay looks similar to mine, but I did black wrinkle on the mani, rocker covers, and timing cover.

Who did you get the botched swap from?

yeah...mines all wrinkle too. i love that stuff.

i got the swap from a local kid. i walked him through building the motor, then he installed it in the car. had too many issues and decided he wanted something else.

I must admit I laughed ALOT at all of the crap work people do...

I'm glad you went through and fixed everything. Sweet build btw.

Ps I like shiny parts just like everyone else, and that Greddy mani is sick....

What kind/size injectors are you running? Not in flow rate, but actual physical size?

Thanks!

if you look closer, one is an oil catch can and the other is a coolant swirl pot. otherwise know as bleeder tank. it basically is always pulling air out of the coolant system

I think he's talking about the red pot on the shock tower and the aluminum one that has the over fill line running to it. Whick I was missing the catch can also on the other side. So are you just using is as an overflow? And where did you tap the return? It looks like the coolant temp sensor?
Nice setup :dblthumb:
