Time for an update. I don't have spare money laying around so I have to make due with what I already have. Stock Lifters went back into the head....3g lifters will go in when I get a few extra bucks. BC 280 cams in the head. Bolted up the cam gears and timed the engine As it sits now. Also bolted on the oil pump pickup. With ARP main studs you need to cut the off the little stock piece that bolts to the main cap. Shown here. Now I just need a few more things and I'll be set with the engine.

Thanks man. If your talking about the FP exhaust manifold that thing is loooong gone. The car is actually up and running now. Sorry I actually forgot about this site, my cat actually fucked my computer up and I had to reformat everything....so I forgot about adding the site to my links again. Here is the lost progress pics for you guys. Putting the 14b on and all the oil/coolant lines hooked up. Cut the drivers mount for the cleanliness. Put in 3g lifters Painted my valve cover too. Threw the oil pan on. Painted the trans and t-case aluminum color. Its not shiny like the pics make it look. I also re did the shifter levers and brackets in black later so it looks slightly different now.

Cleaning out the engine bay. I got done and a few friends came over and we were curious if the engine would fit through the door....it did and found its way into the bay. Even though I wasnt really ready for it to go in...haha Its in! I also painted the JMF logo in the intake manifold. Looks good and matches everything. Heres the trans after the black paint. Mounted my slim fan to the rad. Sturdy! I moved the car over so I can access both sides easily. Bolted up the QM flywheel with the auto spacer plate. Clutch bolted in. Fast forward a bit and the trans is in Picked up an oil cooler set up from parts galore...10 bucks lol Had a buddy make a j-pipe for me.

A little while ago I tried out the FFWD FIAV block off. Well I'm not totally sure when I turned in the plastic valve that it fully closed. Soooooooo I made a bypass plate.

This actually is more recent. I pulled my cruise control and I'm going non cruise. Also pulled my strut tower bar. I'm trying to go for a cleaner look. Still need to hide all the wires though.

I picked up this little gem for the car today. I was looking for an HX40 but settled for this HX35. Still capable of putting down great numbers.

I'm in the Madison Heights, Warren, Royal Oak, Ferndale area all the time. lol
The TB elbow? That started off as a Slowboy Racing elbow. But when I went to the JM Fab intake manifold the elbow didnt work. So Mark at Victory Racing fixed me up and modified the elbow for me.
Thanks for the kind words guys!
