Motor is put together for the most part. I need to get different bolts for the Tt valve covers since the GE valve cover uses longer bolts that won't work with the Tt valve covers
Brand new everything in the front from oil pump to timing belt covers
New 6 speed driver axle is .25 inches shorter
6 speed diff with poly bushings about to go in, but I have to remove the exhaust because of the cooling fins. It's 3 am in Houston so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
By the way that's one heavy diff to do by yourself.
I also have to figure out what to do with the GE fan and clutch since it hits the 6 speed dampner. Anyone else have this problem?

The MOJO performance Lq9 coilpack setup doesn't work with a GE head with TT valvecovers. It requires some serious modifications which I am about to do. The GE head doesn't have factory holes in the head to screw the coilpacks to like the TT head so you use the factory valve cover holes. The bracket itself hits tubes that connect each side of the Tt valvecover and the spacers aren't long enough.

If you look at the fan clutch you see that the TT one is sitting a little bit higher than the GE one. When you bolt it to the water pump the fan will be farther way from the motor than the GE one which will clear the 6 speed dampner. I think you need both the fan and the clutch to clear the dampner it hits it pretty bad.

Thank you for the help. I figured the fan blade is what made the picture looks like the clutch was different. I'm so close but I'm waiting for my clutch from southbend. Do you know if the na supra fan shroud have the same mounting points as a Tt shroud. I have a supra radiator but I want the shroud without the extra hole for the aux fan.
