I still need to write you up some instructions so the install goes smoothly, haha. I wish I had someone like me last year, thats for sure! There was alot of head scratching, and cussing.

Still havent done **** really. I have the rear in along with the UMI torque arm, LCAs and PHB. The wiring is still not done, Im about half way done with it. Unfortunately I wont be able to test it until the motor is together and the battery is relocated.
Ive lost alot of motivation but taking a step back there isnt that much to do. Heres what I got:
Wiring Harness
Blower Box block off
Finish cleaning up the other head
Cam swap
Put the heads and accessories back on the motor
Hot side and turbo placement
Cold side
Downpipe
Some **** I still need to buy:
Strange DS
Rims/Tires - Summit Stars and MT ETs
SFCs(looking for 3 points)
Intercooler
BOV(still undecided on which)
Meth injection

That is impressive! I learned alot from my ebay build last year and decided I need to use better parts to be able to drive my car all summer. I had issues with exhaust leaks, boost leaks, fluid leaks, overheating, all kinds of **** that I dont want to deal with again.

I need to do something similar for the twins I plan on doing. I can't imagine how cold it is there. I'm pulling my motor this weekend and I'm dreading it haha.
Something to think about with the driveshaft. If you do plan on doing an auto swap like a th400, the driveshafts aren't a universal fit. I bought one from a member that swore it would work and he even gave me the "same" measurement that I came up with. Guess what? I ended up with a piece of scrap metal. I had the same setup as him, short tail th400 to a 9", **** was short, story of my life haha.
