motor is back in(pics inside)

After collecting a lot of dust in the engine bay, the motor finally went in tonight. I still need to polish the valve covers when they come back off to final adjust the rockers, and of course clean everything once it gets in(looks horrible right now, and gotta love the foot print, lol). Oh and yes the motor is completely wired up and vacuum lines ran.

Dude, as one that takes a lot of pride in a good wiring job, I seriously tip my hat to you. You need to get that all plumbed up and take some high resolution pictures.

Extremely nice job man, wonderfully executed. Looks like Jon did a super job with fitting the turbo in also......did you have to make any changes or was it a bolt-in affair?

We did a dry fire last night, motor went in Thursday night at 9pm then I went to work right after that. Got back to working on it Friday afternoon at 5pm and had it fired around midnight. I'm still doing all the little finishing touches and finishing up my under dash wiring.

Thanks, it was a lot of work, but all worth it in the end. I will get better pics with a high res camera once it's all together.

Turbo kit bolted on, only thing I had to change was the alternator relocation bracket, sold my sjm unit and got this built by the local shop to clear the pipe.

but just for clarification, Justin told me up front he was having a new bracket made... before I started the kit.
