Depends, should be running by next weekend, I think I have everything here but I could be wrong. Have to make an exhaust, make some O2 extensions and extend the MAF wires a bit, underhood fuel lines and trans cooler lines.
Yea, thats the younger one. Commerce seems like a couple weeks ago..

I'll start it on the MAF tune thats in it and 42lb injectors it cane with, then switch it to 60lb injectors. Since its mostly a drag car I could just leave the MAF tune in it but I'll probably OLSD tune it to get rid of the O2s somewhere along the way. I ran my 98 both ways and honestly it ran more consistant with the MAF and PE then it did with a HPT 2 bar SD. I'm hoping the 99+ EFIlive COS 2-3 bar works better, give me something to play with anyhow..

Yes, I do everything on the car except the engine machine work/shortblock assembly. Not that I couldnt if I wanted to but I don access to a machine shop here, and I havent found a local machine shop that will do things the way I want. I dont like having engine issues so sometimes its easier to just pay the best to handle it and not lose sleep over it.
As far as the rest of it. I dont think anyone else cant do it, I can just afford way nicer parts if I dont have to pay someone else to put them on

Moving along pretty good in the last two days. Checked the cam quick, made a timing pointer and marked TDC on the balancer in case I decide to swap to a BS3 again in the future.
Other than that pretty much just bolt things together, I already had all the covers, oil pan etc cleaned and ready to go so it went together quick. Made sure I fit the trans blanket before I put the engine and trans in this time, royal PITA doing it on the car. Figured I'd take a couple pics while everything is new - wont stay looking like that for long. Underside is done except for a couple little things, tomorrow I'll hang the blower on finally and finish up under the hood.

Something like that, taking a break for a couple days though, its almost ready to go but I'm getting a little burned out so I'm spending some time with the kids on their spring break. I'll be back on it next week when they are in school...
