Re: Project Retro is Done! Video of new engine & more Well I used Corvette O2s and they have about 3-foot long leads on them. I ran the O2s through a hole I cut in the tranny tunnel right at the base of the firewall. So the O2s actually drop from the PCM right down to where the header bungs are.
Thanks for the intake Jason!
Not sure on the weight Mike...guessing around 3350-3400 with me in the car. Will have to see soon!

Re: Project Retro is Done! Video of new engine & more i absolutely LOVE the engine bay
great job
whats the deal with the pic of fenderwells prior to priming? Did you fill/shave a bunch of the holes?

Re: Project Retro is Done! Video of new engine & more Thanks again!
There were numerous holes in the engine bay either from the factory or from my numerous different drillings over the last 5 years. I welded them up and ground them down before using some filler to smooth things out.
