Engine is finally in!

Engine is finally in! http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21.html Engine is finally in, things are happening FAST! Now the real hard work begins! It is in! Nothing is connected. No fuel lines (they are loose), no spark plugs, no coils, no injector wiring, not even the injectors are installed (correctly). Most parts are just resting in place, including the intake manifold, valve cover, etc. http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21.html#0 e3a7d3d6-2f66-45f5-8511-96284ecf11ea http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0042.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0042.jpg?derivative=micro

The vacuum port on the front runner of the throttles is actually connected to all of the runners. This is the brake booster port, and it was supposed to be on the rear runner. There is actually a bung on the rear runner, so I’ll get that swapped out at a later date. http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21.html#3 6cf157e6-b332-474f-9360-16b21367f112 http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0046.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0046.jpg?derivative=micro

The plugs in the head are visible, as are the injectors in the throttle body runners. The extra distance between the injectors and the intake port allows for more time for the fuel to mix with the air (and provide better air/fuel mixture). http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21.html#5 6c0f9f4c-9cc9-4a4f-83dd-13a1b0b3b20f http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0049.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Friday_-_Engine_is_finally_in%21_files/Media/IMG_0049.jpg?derivative=micro
