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. |

Ended up with 174 hp at the rear wheels and the same amount of torque at 6100. Spent a bunch of time getting the A/R ratio closer to 12 everywhere. The motor spins easily to 7K now. That will be nice in spots where you need a few more rpm to make it to the corner. |
