Ok, well I gtg to work right now, but I wanted to post some pics of the block. I am just about ready to put it in the car, just need to get my flywheel on and two new oil injector lines. I'll post more pics when I get home...



Got on the manifold on, w/ turbo gasket, and getting ready for the LIM.

Well, I don't have the blockoff plates yet, and we have a bad problem w/ spiders, lol...so I dont want them making a nice home in my intake. So I installed it and plugged the holes. i'll probably get the blockoff plate eventually. How many vacuum lines and such does my car need? I was thinking of just leaving the spider off, do I really need that thing?

the only thing you "need" on the spider are the fuel lines.

The blue paint is auto paint, nothing more really. I'm afraid it'll probably flake off a lil when it heats up. I love the color though and cant wait for my car to be it...
