Going to get more done today. It could get finished if I had the intake manifold. A friend has it and he’s welding bungs for a single pass. So as soon as we get that back I can put the last few parts on

Damn that is one clean looking engine bay. I like the purple exhaust wrap, ties in nice with the valve cover.

Also in for burnout and drag videos

For wire tucking, how much cutting and splicing is needed to get a clean look?

Did you machine your own front cover for OD ATI? Also where do you get, looks like stainless braided, upper radiator hose? Looking good. Do you plan on working out the tune on the dyno while simultaneously breaking it in or what are your initial plans for it?

Ya we grinded the front cover. The upper radiator is a sleeve. Goes over the stock hose. And breaking it in without a dyno

Haven’t really started on it. Only thing I got rid of so far is the evap. A lot of shortening because most of these harnesses are long. Going to hide as much as possible.

I suggest putting aside a full day for wire clean-up. Just in case something doesn't go right you won't be wondering if it was something in the wiring. If it wasn't for the VVT solenoids, I could have hidden all the wiring under a coil cover.
