Well i cut the egr port off and welded the hole up. Pure stupid idea on their part but its not a bad job to weld the hole up.

I need to get my flanges expanded to slide over the header then ill weld it up.

The motor needed to have the crank polished so we just swapped in a brand new crank. The cam and crank were installed when i dropped off my oil pump monday. They plugged the dod bosses too, cut the block for a 4" crank if i ever go bigger. They worked their a$$ off to get my block damn near perfect.

I should be getting the motor back this weekend but we'll see.

The PCV tube was cut off and drilled out for a -6an setup to go to the intake tube.

The factory coil harness is extremely crappy once you break it open to work on it.

Got it straightened out and shrink wrapped waiting to solder in the extensions vs chopping up my engine harness

They plugged the dod bosses too.
did the 6.2's have EGR at some point?

whats the benefit to plugging the DoD bosses? just cover yourself in case one of the o rings on the valley cover fail?

No i bought 99-06 headers, they use to have the egr which was pointless.
As for the plugs its no point in having them when you dont have dod/afm. So why keep them open?

ohhhh ok cause I was trying to think...didnt the gen 3's have egr, but the headers thing makes sense

good call on blocking them off, I could see an issue if one of those o rings on the valley cover wore out

are you gonna leave the valve covers bare or any thoughts on powder coating?

Moved the main harness to the back of the intake. Seriously 6 or 8 wires need to be extended and thats it!
Added a new style steam vent system.
