Little work over the weekend,

I'm not doing anythin real significant like all the others on the board, but, I'm prepping for a motor/trans install, moving into fininshing the DSE mini-tub, then DSE subframe connectors, and spraying the bottom of the car with Epoxy bedliner,

I originally painted it with POR-15 sanded it and then sprayed it with some single stage semi-black, well the black is starting to lift in places, so, I'm going to DA the bottem then spray with the liner material,

Motors together, with eveythings torqued, !! getting ready to install all the accessories and intake, couple of pics!!!!



Sprayed the Cometics with 2 layers of Copper Spray, installed the heads and torqued them!



Also installed the Pilot bearing and the Spec flywheel, I'm going to do the clutch and PP later today, Front and rear cover along with the oil pan are installed,

Since the power steering pully was cracked, I found the Turn One pump and pully on tech for a good deal,

You might want to get some KY jelly and put your back into it, lol!!! Let me know how it goes as I was going to take the easy route and mount mine in the engine bay. The grommet looks good and if it will work I may just change my mind and move the electronics indoors.

Clutch is un boxed, I'll throw up a couple of pics before I bolt it all in, I'm thinking I might change the disc later on, this one might be a little aggressive,


Found out the tank should ship this week!!! now to figure out the hard line routing!
