great work!!

 

Thanks guys. I found the perfect spot for the coils and I don't have to extend the harness, so I'll work on that this evening. Once they are mounted and plugged in, I will finish looming that small harness and the wire tuck will officially be done.

The upper radiator hose techflex finally came in (1.25") and so I was able to finish all the cooling system.

 

This is where I decided to mount the coil. First few were the test fit and once I knew they worked and the spark plug wires could be installed, I removed the crossmember and mounted them nice and level









Was not expecting this orientation of the wiring, so I think it's easier to just cut the ends off and make a new harness



I also ordered a build your own spark plug kit, some DEI sleeving for them, and some other odds and ends.

 

Here's what I ended up with

 

That looks great! What's left for you to do at this point?

 

very slick. I love these engines with no coils on top

 

• Build spark plug wires
• Route BOV vacuum line and MAF wiring
• Figure out gauge sensor locations and get the wires over to them
• Bleed front brakes
• Swap upper control arms or swap bushings with OEM since the Belltech have too much camber right now
• Install passenger side coilover
• Fill cooling system and burp it

That will get it driving again on the stock tune, but I still need to build a fuel system, install the 4L85e, triple disk, driveshaft, and build the rear-end. Just typing all this out makes me depressed how far I still have to go...

 

not to mention the hit on your bank account!! its never ending

 

yeah that too, but who needs to save for retirement, right?

 

That's not too long of a list. You've been making lots of progress!
