Anytime man! Had a lot of fun and learned so much. Can't wait to get the tune dialed in on it!

Sweet! Nice job! Congratulations on what sounds like a very healthy build! Show us some of that "torque" in action when you get a chance.

I Figured I'd post up my ghetto fab of the nnbs intake. The map sensor was diff, as in it has the green grommet on the bottom and strap across the back so i just used my old map and cut a rubber grommet to set it on and made a metal "holder".... I just went to the hardware store and bought a plastic 90 nipple and siliconed it in for the pcv dirty side

I figured I'd post up the ground locations of all the ones I removed during the swap, it might help someone searching threads or a newb like I was.

Drivers side front bottom. There is the one from the negative battery

one from what I could tell runs in the wire loom to the starter that is a smaller ground that is on drivers side front bottom close to bigger ground from battery

Next is the strap that runs from the cowl down to the back drivers side block. Its below the head and almost in line with the bell housing holes. There is a smaller ground that connects together with it that comes from the Injector/Coil wire loom on the drivers side

The last one is on the passenger side back of block and bolts up at the top side of block instead of the back. It's directly beside the passenger side head rear and is just 1 small wire.

Soon! It's still basically on a startup tune, so I need to get the tune dialed in and then I'll post up. I'm gonna throw it on a dyno to just see some numbers for ***** and grins

How much did the engine cost you when you bought it and how many miles was on it
