Nice, looks great! A polish on that intake pipe would set it off nicely.

which intake hoses are you talking about? the vacuum hoses that go to the intake?

Yah, Like the one that connects to the passenger side of the main intake pipe, it takes a 90 and heads to the back of the engine then down to the intake manifold.

Mine was all rotten and blew apart under boost. Ive been looking for a replacment.

Those came with the motor I bought, I would try a local parts house or try Rock Auto

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow is the day!!!! Tomorrow I am going to be installing my freshly rebuilt engine, I'm extremely excited to finally put everything back together. I would very much like to have it running by the end of the day tomorrow :D

I've already installed the new seats, and I started putting in the new Speedo setup.

Let's go driving when you get it sorted. The weather is perfect and not a lot of leaves on the road.

well I didnt quite get everything finished today the trans is out next to the motor but one of the fly wheel bolts seems to have walked away... after about 3 hours of calling and searching for a new one none is to be found tonight
hope fully i can find one in the morning and get this thing done, I also had to put new outer cv boots on cause the old ones were none existent. If there is anyone in the East Bay Area that just so happens to have a spare fly wheel bolt or a spare set please let me know.

ITS IN ITS IN!!!!!! ITS FINALLY IN!!!!! I got the engine and everything in all the wires and hoses are connected. I went to start it but I have no spark I have power to the coil but nothing after that. I'm going to test another coil that I have and see what happens, also I have a connector that goes nowhere... Its in the same bunch as the o2 sensor wire. The two wires in question are twisted together and crimped with and "O" terminal at the end. The color of the wires is Black with red spots and with KOEO the wires are hot. Does any one know where these go?

PS Pics to follow tomorrow

Hey guys sorry bout the wait but I was in Vegas this weekend for a wedding but I have news... IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm extremely happy with the way it runs drives and sounds, I have driven it about 30 miles already and I absolutely love it!!! I haven't quite gotten in to the boost quite yet because I want to let the rings seat and work the bearings in. Tonight I cleaned up the K&N filter the guy gave me when I bought the motor so tomorrow she will be getting some nice clean fresh air.

Today I also gave her a nice wash and wax. But I think I'm going to take the orbital buffer to hher and get a nice shine on her. Sorry about the wait on the pictures but camera hasn't been working very well lately so I will see what happens with kit tomorrow.
