Looking like the parts are rollin in Zach. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Following this thread closely. If the D-jet causes me a lot of headaches after the car is on the road, I may look into megasquirt.

Glad to see that you got your stuff from Mark. He's still working on my harness and it looks like we'll need an AAR to help with cold starts.

He tried one (AAR) on my engine and it idled too high. Might need some kind of restrictor.

Nice looking setup!

I can't remember, are you going ITB or common plenum?

Common plenum off a 1.8. The impetus for this was to cut back on the howl ITBs and webers caused.

Jake said that the 1.8 plenum can support up to a 2.4 liter plant, so my little 2.0 should be just fine.

This car will always have a T4.
When the 2056 gets tired i'll build it to a 2270.
And the FI will work on that too.

Zach, where did you find this nugget? Same true for 2.0 plenum? I think 1.8 would be much easier if one was thinking of MAF.

I have been pondering this project for nearly 2 years now and asked a TON of questions here, STF, and Jake's forums.

Jake let me know where he had found the limits of the 1.8 plenum to be, but I forget if it was here or on his forums.

Needless to say, my options were a 1.7 plenum or a 1.8 plenum as i have 4 bolt heads. And when i stumbled on a 1.8 full system, I knew where I was going to go. Eventually I do want to build this engine to a 2270 or a 2.3L plant, but there are going to be years inbetween finishing this and doing that.

My engine is back to being a long block for the first time in a year!!!!

Now I just have 5 billion wires and such that I need to figure out. Was getting cold (its spring, warm the F up weather!) and overwhelmed. But I did get a lot done tonight.

Yesterday I double checked my pushrod geometry.

Since I had headwork done, I thought it would be prudent. And its a good thing I did.

All of my pushrods were still within +/- 5% of the advertised lift of my cam - except the #3 Exhaust, which was short and has to be recut. I think I have an extra cut-to size push rod somewhere. I'm glad I checked!

Stange thing was that all of them looked good at 1/2 lift, even the one that was a bit short.

The distributor block off will stay in without the clamp. But, it doesn't really matter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I would shorten your oil pump studs. If you have to do any work on it in the car, you'll thank me. BTDT.

Haha!
I knew I had some cut to length pushrods laying around. it only took my 5 minutes to find them while waiting for oil on my mower to drain. Even found the adjustable one.

Now I just need to get fuel hose and spark plugs! And the guts to start hooking up the new electronics.

Looking good Zach. Nice catch on the valve lift. Any chance your car will be at Hershey this year? With Joe's hammered valve seat and my never ending battle with rust, it would be nice to have some local 914 representation at the car show! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

All pushrods are now in-spec. :-)

And I have new goodies for the car "while I'm in there."

Including the firewall back shifter upgrade for my Rennshift!
And new brakes from Erc.
And wheel studs to replace the lug bolts.

Cause... you know if I keep buying things for the car I can ensure it never actually gets completed. Like the Winchester Mansion.

My 5 year old replaced all 16 lug bolts with wheel studs today. So easy, a pre-K kid can do it. All I did was follow behind and torque them in.

Then he drove the car back into the bay while I pushed!

Today was a very good day. Did not get anything done on the engine, but my son was so happy to b able to help with the car.
