New bearings for my rotors. Most likely from the owner I got them from had over revved the engine.
New coolant temp gauge. Didn't want another bulky round gauge, running out of cockpit space.
Getting everything cleaned up.
S6 housings are templated, and ready for porting.
Sketchy porting from the last owner..

Got the porting cleaned up by Steve (Schlodes). The last engine had an extended large streetport (BRAP), but once pulling it apart i found a ton of big problems with the porting. Steve took care of it like a boss. The ports are massive now, and will flow incredibly. The rotor housings were stock port on the last engine too, so now they match the intake in massiveness. So long to what little torque I had before lol.
These are Steve's pictures:
Engine parts are back home, got the irons painted. The engine should be together by next week, I'm hoping.

Got my meth kit plumbed to the trunk. Loomed up the harness and tucked it all away. Still working on the finishing details.
Removed power steering and A/C, at least 80lbs of junk. Made these plugs for the rack.
Got the engine in place. Everything fit just fine. Going to have to relocate my wastegate a few inches, but no big deal.
On/Off switch

Had good help
SO much room now
Rolled outside to clean up the floor, and for glamour shots of course
Shop all clean again, and mc-dusty back in.
The manifolds aren't bolted up yet, just mounted to see if it all fits. Should be all together by the end of the week.

Fixing this from what happened last year. Sent power to something by accident, made fire.
Wiring up a billion things.
New gauge thinger, to accommodate my temporary fan switch and the Meth.
All interior wiring and meth routing done!

Finally all bolted down for good
Got my fuel system in order. I'll be out flowing the stock fuel lines this year, but I'll have to stay within the limits of it this year. Can't do it all at once...
1000CC Primaries and 1600CC secondaries
Saved some money and modified my fuel rails instead of buying new ones just to get rid of the stock FPR and dampener. I'll need new ones whenever I upgrade fuel lines anyways. Ended up finding out the rails were brazed together, so it made welding them up really tricky. I had to use super low heat to stop the rails from de-soldering. Got it though, opened the rails up a ton and got rid of the unneeded equipment.
