    Yup, shaft goes between the primaries. That was the only way to make it fit.... Let me check if I have some pics

          Curious about the header and steering shaft too.

            It'll be a week or so until the next update. Race season is ON!! :D :D
            My plan was starting/finishing the fuel and water lines, but I guess I can start with the steering.

              Sooooo, I had a bit of time today and I started with the engine bay wiring.











              Ignore the green zipties, they're there only to keep the wiring in place (for now) Once I start the engine, the heat will shrink the wiring heatshrink and keep everything tidy and in place :D
              Oh, and that expansion tank is NOT gonna be there. Just wanted to give it a try, but it looks totally out of place in that engine bay right now....

                  Well, you need the ITB's (obviously), adapter plates, standalone computer and a new throttle cable and linkage to make it all work. And the wiring...., well, the M60 wiring is MASSIVE, it had to go :D

                    you also make this engine on stock m60 ecu, yes?
                    what do you mean by standalone computer?

                      You won't be able to use the stock computer, as the control strategy is different. By standalone, I mean I'm using a programmable (VEMS) computer, that's why I am doing a new wiring harness

                        Well, got my oil filter plate today. It's not the most beautiful thing on earth, but will make the oil lines soooo much easier....

                          If the trumpets are collected into a plenum and have a MAF on the plenum inlet, the stock computer should *in theory* be able to run it... Accel enrichment, among other things will be *WAY* off, so the computer will need to be tuned. A W.A.R. chip, for example, could turn an OBDI computer into a standalone.

                          If you're talking about going to an Alpha-N system, then the stock computer is way out the window.

                            That statement is not totally true... and that's one thing I've discussed a million times with customers. The fact that you have the ability to "tune" the stock computer easily, doesn't make it a standalone.... There are many many options that the stock computer, quite simply, can not do. Hardware limitations being one of the main reasons. Is the WAR chip a cheap way to get a better tune for your engine if you don't have a tuner with the right equipment right around the corner? YES. Is it a standalone? ehrm..., nopes.
                            Plus, stock wiring harness SUCKS

                              Compared to a Haltech E6K or MS2, a WAR chip in the stock DME is extremely capable, especially in terms of diagnostics.

                              Compared to a MoTeC or VEMS... maybe not so much.

                              Why does the stock harness suck? It's designed to be weather resistant for a lotta lotta miles.

                                The standalone vs. modded computer deserves a completely new post, in my opinion.....
                                And as for the harness, well... have you seen the size of it? And most important, mine was 20 years old.... Better safe than sorry.
                                I've been through that same problem many many times at work (or my own cars), you swap a motor, use the old harness and ASSUME it's fine then..., oh, misfire here, gauges working funny there. Nah, I'd rather start from scrap. And I'm using OEM or better than OEM material anyway, so I don't see the problem
