Little more done. Not my best tig welding, but getting in those crevices was a pain! MY fit up was not perfect, but honestly I wanted it done, lmao. Wastegate tubes have been finished up after verifying fitment and everything has been coated in a liberal coat of VHT "ceramic" paint. I will wrap it up today and start on the fuel lines.

Getting pretty excited. Headed to Home Depot to go get some rubber insulated clamps to run the line now. Then all that will have to be done is wire it up for its first start. Thinking I need to get a yoke for the transmission first though so that it does not leak all the fluid out though.
Ah well, it will be here shortly. Maybe starting this thing next weekend.

question, are the fuel rails on this manifold in the same position they are stock? im asking because i might get this manifold and i already ran my fuel lines.

I honestly don't know. They can't be off by too terribly much I would not think as the injector can only be so tall. I mean it will sit in a spot very close to where a factory injector would sit I think. But I have never had anything other than this manifold on the car.

Well???? I understand its only 7:30 am but is ti fired up yet??? LOL
Looking forward to hearing some news!!!
BTW, you probably said it in your thread, but the "X-tube" coolant balancer for lack of a better name that takes water from all the heads...where did you get that? I remember finding it before but I just can't seem to find the link for that.
Looking good man!
