What do you mean stock proportioning valve?
The kit comes with one and a T
This is how mine looks on my rhd
Attachment 551985
I'm planning to move to Proportioning valve in the cabin tho, and put WI tank there
Marc , maybe you can ask Alex If he didn't ship your order to put you enough line to install it in the cabin

That would be great. I am planning on getting the ssbc proportioning valve instead of OEM for my setup now but it is more along the lines of 100.00 not 40.00. Alex's kit is great, I just wanted a cleaner look than a bunch of steel braided lines so I am doing a custom bent hard line setup.

Addicted performance has started my motor and should be done later today- large street port with goopy seals and all new bearings

Primary FF fuel rail with EV 14 1000cc injectors

Great build... I always hate to be the one to nit-pick. But why not swap out that aluminum motor mount arm? I can understand (and relate) to keeping the rubber mounts... but the arm is a known weak point and they can be had pretty cheap.
Otherwise - keep up the good work!

I did notice that too..
Rollcoal the rubber is still good on that ? I remember mine was soooo bad (It does look a little bit too from the picture) You don't necessarily need to get the steel mount Just get the engine mounts, drill a hole and bit of grinding on the aluminium so the mount seat flush. Otherwise , AWSOME !!! Nice and clean !! I'm so jealous you got your engine back already !! keep the good work

Yea i realized I put them on wrong aha. To be honest I just needed clamping force for the silicone on the oil pan so I didn't want to undo it until it cured. These motor mounts are toast so I will be getting a set of semi hard mounts as well as a new bracket. So they need to come off again .. I'll be making an order once I get paid. Its getting down to the small things that I need to buy which is gonna hold me back from the final stages of running and tuning.. I'm hoping by June it should be tuned with all the kinks worked out
