Well the bottom end of the motor is complete. I sent my timing chain cover to get glass beaded and then it will be powdercoated and I took my Holley systemax to get hot tanked. I ordered everything else I would need to complete the motor except the MAF and injectors.

Well it's official the car will be headed to renegade in about a week. So in the meantime I decided to clean a few things up while I wait. The first thing I have begun on is the wiring for the gauges. Even though it could not be seen I was not happy with it and wanted it redone. So for now I started with the lights. Here is how it started until I finished it.

This was not ok with me so it was time to clean this mess up.

I finished up wiring the senders and what not, I just wanted to keep it clean ya know lol.

Well the car is going to the body shop tomorrow to get the engine compartment completely smoothed out, in the meantime the motor is almost complete. I stopped by total performance the other day and snapped a few pics.

Are those breathers on the valve covers or oil filler caps ? Do you plan on connection the pcv valve up to your plenum ( upper intake) or deleting it ?

I ask these questions because if your pcv valve is hooked up and those are breathers on your valve covers your going to have unmetered air ( vacuum leak) entering your system.

Other wise..... good job on your build
