If it's not ready to start by this weekend I may just end up long term storaging it. QUOTE]

Wow good luck, so that really only gives you 1 or 2 days of working.

Like asked how long will you be shipped out and thanks for your service...

got some more work done today.............had to re-route the whole lower half of the harness.............apparently I forgot how we laid it out (A FEW WIRES RAN SHORT) so we fixed all that; which of course took quite a while; BUT, at least everything hooks up ok now!

So where am I?

let's see:

I'm ditching Magnuson's I/C cooler wiring & Nelson's E-Fan harness and going with a different setup, simplified "so to speak"

I need to tidy up some of the wiring with zip ties and get all my electrical connections finalized.
Make the new I/C pump/E-Fan/Heat Exchanger Fan Harness built and installed.
Tighten down some Misc bolts.
Connect the new Battery so I can run the fuel pump and clean out the lines.
Pre-Lube the Engine with 30wt Break-In oil.
Load Tune and then "Fire in the Hole"!

I suspect I have 1 more solid day of work (tomorrow) and Sunday we can Fire it up, check for leaks, and start tuning. That leaves me two full weeks to drive it before I shove off.

Got the new HD Tensioner on the work-bench and ordered a new set of idler pulleys in the event I have issues with my current setup.

Should be the side of the block, behind the power steering pump.

You should find the spot located between there and the motor mount, located just above the oil pan rail.
