Final mock up pic..Full assembly starts tomorrow and hopefully will be running this weekend.
Still need to tap the oil pan, modify the upper i/c pipe to clear, run wideband wire through firewall, fabricate 3'' midpipe..thats it, and if all goes well start it up and check for leaks before finishing touches are applied.

That has already been solved. Took a bit of cutting and some welding, but it has been fixed
