You'll need a thin wrench on the -8 fuel rail side to get it tight. I assume you are using Champion fuel rails also.

9 months later and there is finally more progress. I kinda called the car done before, but that never really happens.

Last I left off I wanted quieter exhaust and hydraulic lifters.

Last months project.

It's just a cheap pypes stainless catback that I fancied up with some tig welding and a couple v-bands. It so quite you really only hear valvetrain noise now.

Well that's just entirely to much noise for an 800 hp v6. So:

Lots going on in there right now. I'm swapping solid roller lifters and springs for hydraulic stuff. That allows me to put a timing chain back on it and a stock timing cover and water pump. It had a belt drive with belt driven oil and an electric water pump. Not exactly inspiring on a long drive. This also free's up some heater hose connections and some space for some a/c hoses.

That's the next project. I'm cutting the front half of the cage out of the car, going from a 10 point to a 4 point roll bar. I'm also putting stock seatbelts back in it. 5 point harnesses suck. Then with the cage modified, I can get the dash out and get that a/c in there.

And somewhere in there I fixed up all the holes in the trunk and put some carpet back in it.

Love all the changes...sounds like it'll be more and more like a street car all the time.

I have 5 points and my factory 3 points in my car, 5 points used on race day, 3 points for everyday driving. IF you can swing a setup like this I highly recommend.
