Also, I was thinking...does the spark plug gap change any? Do I have to run colder or hotter plugs?

1 step colder plugs might help, but i ran on my stock plugs for about a month before swapping. Dont bother checking gap unless you're misfiring though. If you start misfiring, then lower the gap a bit

Yep, it's there.

Thanks!

Hmm, I think I'm looking to go with the Cobra H/E, as long as there's a easy way to mount it...

Also, am I even going to need to drain my oil to do this? I'm not doing anything internal, I shouldn't have to, right?

Excellent. That's one less cost.

So, the only bolts I'll need to buy are those ones for the alternator?

And what was the deal with being able to not have to cut the belt? Flipping wires around or something?

Also, can I use a stock-LSJ harness for these injectors and just repin the connector, or do I have to use a L61 harness?

u repin the lsj harness into your l61 harness, u cut 1 rib off the belt, the belt is a 6 rib, cut one rib off(outer or inner dont matter), ill be joining u in a blower build soon, but im not making a thread on it since i know most the stuff i need, and i k now how to install them, but the bolt u need are for the alternator, and you need 2 more for the intake manifold

ps. if you feel like givign up, sell me your m62 and intake manifold :p

2 on the intake manifold need to be way longer than stock, the lsj has studs in that place, 2 on the bottom i can draw them out, bu ti dont thin i need 2, the manifold has aimpring on where the bolt nut thing tightens it

im pretty sure my stok ones worked fine. the only bolts i went out and bought were for the alternator...but i mightve already had the manifold bolts....

honestly, just buy the longer bolts for the manifold just incase...bolts are like 40 cents each
