Did some work on the beast tonight, talk about a cork in the intake! it took for ever to cut with my metal blade in the sawzall. The new nepindenso altenator is so small compared to the orignal one. I also cut some of the metal inbetween the hood latch and rad support to test fit the fmic behind the grill, its on abit of an angle because my welder is out of argon so its just sitting in place for now. Boost geek's thread on his intake was alot of help, The pics do not do justice compared to seeing for your own eyes how small the opening is. I fly out to Hawaii on Tuesday for 3 weeks ...... but after that i will get alot more done to the car so i can hear it run.
