Looks great! Aren't you missing a bolt on your LIM? Right in the middle? That little hole.

that's because the previous builder was too cheap to drill and tap the hole, as you can see it is just an n/a middle iron that they fitted with the rest of the T2 parts. here in the photo you can see the EGR block off plate for the n/a in the middle iron and the regular T2 block off to the rear of the lower intake manifold.

looks good but in the future i would suggest being more careful when painting the engine, all that excess paint will wind up in the lubrication system and though gaskets will seal ok on painted surfaces temporarily it is not a great idea for the long term especially around the cooling system areas.

Don't you need the proper counterweights for those rotors?

haha, I must be tired.
I thought it said he was going to use the GSL-SE rotors...

Then I guess the 3mm rebuild kit is kinda "useless"?

you must be tired.

he said he used hardened stat gears so i am gonna assume he had the T2 rotors milled for 3mm seals.

Uhhhh..the tires on that FC..trash them. Wow, those are SUPER low profile. Also make the appeal of the car drop a nice bit. Too much fender to wheel gap, should be filled with tire..then, perfect!
