Instead of the stock cheese head screws, I got the bag of Allen head bolts from 914 Rubber.

It took a bit of twisting and shoving, but I got the right side installed. Maybe the sheet metal warped a bit when the powder coating shop sand-blasted it.

Sheet metal is almost complete--or is it?

I tried to fit the manifolds--should have done this earlier.

The right side was OK, but the left side sheet metal interferes with the manifold flange.

That led to several attempts to file the opening, test fit, and then finally paint the raw edges.

I also got my second replacement for the alternator vent rubber elbow. My old original is on the left, 914 Rubber repro in the middle, and new (repro) on the right. Note the new one shipped with a cheesy worm drive clamp.

I admire your attention to detail. You've gotta be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and this time its not a train coming the other direction. Great work Bob

Thanks. To get to the light, I figure I have these remaining jobs:

Mock up the EFI and ignition on the engine while on the stand
Also mock up EFI component on the body, and lay out wiring
Install clutch
Mate engine and trans, install in car
Install EFI and ignition, complete all plumbing and wiring
Build up half shafts and install
Install heat exchangers, muffler, and all ducts
Set up initial EFI/ignition program and test star
Tune program
Bleed and adjust brakes
Mount new tires
DIY wheel alignment
Install door hardware, glass, and trim
Go for a drive?
