I am going to be putting my engine in by myself, so trying to get everything lined up so it will be a smooth process.
My throttle bodies and fuel rails are wider than the stock sheet metal, so will be removing one of them so I won't have to use crazy angles (again) to get the engine back up in there. My engine is about as high as one with Webers. I've built two large wide ramps and extra blocks so that I can have the rear wheel about 14" off the ground. Don't have my car here so can't test it out, but figured all you jack stand / car ramp guys will know if that is high enough for my engine to fit under the bumper. If not, some more 2 x 6's are going to get cut up for blocks. |

Taking the car to the dyno on Thursday to confirm the fuel map beyond 6100. Don't have a clue where the motor will roll over, so just have to run it and see. On pins and needles! |
