I know progress has been slow, and that you want to see more...But the main accomplishment is that the motor has been buttined up, and is in the final stages of assembly completion. The upper oil pan debacle has been repaired, and we have apparently triumphed over ****ty previous work. I am awaiting the Throttle body from the powder coater, as well as several chromed brackets that attach to it, and the bolts...All are being chromed. I should nhave them back by Tueaday...


I went to Lexus of Orlando and picked up the studs for the exhaust manifolds and some rubber seals, plus the new oil dipstick. I installed all of the correct studs in the new heads, thank goodness that these were not touched by Frank...and then I bolted up the original turbo manifolds onto the block with chromed nuts. Keep in mind that these manifolds will be replaced with the new ones that DC is making for me while painting my car...I will assemble the rest of the motor, and prep the engine bay for re-installation of the built motor...



Here's a few pics...










Much more progress to come shortly...
