With nearly all parts having arrived, things are starting to look up, and it’s just a matter of getting things together. I took sometime today to plop the old motor back in the car, and test fit our manifold and turbo. I stated early that I wasn’t entirely happy with our manifold, and now perhaps… I’m even less happy.
