Can we be friends? Haha seriously, I am doing the same thing I have my kit and I'm getting ready to get this going but lack of instructions and "lots of pictures" is killing me.

Greetings my friend - of course!! I totally feel your pain which is why I've been trying to document this as much as possible. To show people the ups and downs of the project and try to make it easier for the next guy.

I feel pretty damn comfortable at this point and feel like I'm actually getting closer to the finish line as things are really starting to come together. Only a few more blind corners ahead and hopefully this baby will be making heat before the weather does!!


So after finding that hunk of metal in the top of the motor after changing the valve covers around I got the top of the motor back together with the intake on. Make sure you clearance the intake as there are a few bits that hit which will keep it from seating properly. It is pretty easy to cut out what you don't need with a small dremel tool or even a sharp razor blade. I'll put together a better video and show all those bits soon.

Car was buried in the shop so instead of trying to get the motor back in I decided to play with the wiring a little which all seems very straight forward, again I'll put together a more detailed video later this week!

Here is a quick video for those who are interested~

A few pictures below... including a very appropriate fortune cookie this week!!!
Thanks!

Thanks so much, I will definitely take all and any advice for this if you are willing to lend a hand. I am in the middle of rebuilding my motor and once we get to it I am sure I will have some questions. Thanks man!!

BTW in case you didn't find out yet the OEM part for the engine cover I'm 90% sure it's was the OEM TOP engine cover for a 987, they just pounded it down to shape. It's about 1-200 bucks online. They said it even matches up to some bolt holes!
