Well my 987 box is in and it was quite interesting. I did manage to destroy my old box so I was committed at that point and even then the 986 box didn’t want to come out. Putting the 987 box in was rather straight forward though other then the hard to access bolts. I’m just waiting for the epoxy to dry as of so somewhat secure and stabilize the box.

I wasn’t able to get the bolt behind the filter that is well hidden inside the box but the epoxy I used is for structural purposes so it should hold fairly well with the screws I used.


As tight fitting as it is, I was fully prepared to take the manifold out and had the gaskets to do it until I saw this write up a few days ago. I’d definitely recommend doing it this way as you aren’t really removing and reassembling half a motor. Total time was roughly 3-4 hours. Most of it was spent removing the old box as it came out in tiny pieces with vise grips.
