I agree with you both, but he has always emailed and text me back when I have. He has always kept the communication up with me from day one. The postal service has said since it was mailed postal, it would take a month or more due to the weight of the box. I really dont need it like right now, but just having the piece of mind or the part in the garage awaiting installed would be alot better. I will give it another week or so. Only time will tell, right now.

Yes he did. I did confirm that. I did find out this morning the exhaust gasket that I am using is a Drewgo. With tresearch I have done on here and on Supraforums, I am NOT worried about it no more. I have confirmed with other people who has used or heard of them, with no issues. So now I can sleep better knowing this. Now on to relocating the oil drain line around the manifold. The place is closed today due to Veteran's Day.

That's good. Time for forward progress. I Dont know if i saw u mention what type of engine management you are going to run. Since u have those juicy 800cc injectors I wanted to know how you were going to control everything.

I will be using AEM.Standalone V2. That's my plan and trying stick to it. I filed down those going welds on the water neck housing and repsprayed them. Looks mo better. I figured out a way to rerun the 10 oil return while utilizing the current one. I disconnected it and the reversed it. Now I need to by a 45 degree angle and maybe 4 inch of steel braided line and tie in. Angle should be perfect and allow almost an inch away from the exhaust manifold and room for the intercooler piping.

Made a plate today, since I didnt have one from an old tranny lying around. Came out pretty good, keep in mind all it does is keep dust and dirt out of the clutch part and bellhousing. Here is a few pictures along the way.

Measured the piece of aluminum, 5" x 4" tall



Then drilled the holes and shaped it.



Placed over the hole to assure correct fitment and holes lines up, and it did. I used a rubber mallet to form it.





Cleaned the bellhousing with a metal wire brush on my drill..



Applied some RTV high temp silicone..for extra durability and a seal..



On the inside too...



Wolla.. Installed and let dry for 24 hours..



Was hoping the DM parts come in today, I guess it will be Monday. Dang it!

Mark,
I am back again , you don't need to seal the inspection hole with some rtv .

You should leave it open till you actually install the clutch, it will make things alot easier on you.

You will use that hole to line up your flywheel to you Pressure plate and bolt it up.

shifter will need top extended 4" back , it should come through the Auto shifter hole .

this is my old trans with the shifter extension

Thanks stevenjai. I hope the parts I ordered from DM come in tomorrow. Thats what they told me approx. I will also pick up the tranny mount and the slave cylinder also. Will post more pictures of the thread as they come. Thanks for all the inspirations and the desire to continue my build thread! I am getting impatience.

this is the rode that will also need to be extended about 4" also you have to remove the tailhousing to get to it.
