To say I've been burning the midnight oil lately is an understatement. I'm trying to get my stuff wrapped up on the chassis before I take it down to put the body on this weekend. The last few nights have been productive.....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...15cacd47d2.jpgI'm using Big Stuff 3 engine and transmission management system which utilizes a coil on plug system. I mounted all the coils under the radiator cradle. I made brackets which mounted all of the wiring for the coil packs, spark plugs and crank trigger along the block. Trying my best to hide all of the wiring.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...285dad8469.jpgPowdercoated the intake and fuel rails satin black. Today I assembled it all back together.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dbfe820e9b.jpgCleaned up the look of the fuel injectors. Used a piece of heat shrink tubing to cover the housing for a cleaner look. Truth be told I stole this from another builder Troy Trepanier. [emoji6]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...272cd7e9ff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f554a35233.jpgThe look I've been attempting to go with the motor is more of an industrial , functional piece of machinery. Just added a little bit of bling to make it pop a little. Very happy with the results thus far....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...499ce77732.jpgPicked up the exhaust Monday after having it Cerakoated. Once the wiring was finalized I got the headers and exhaust installed.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...df4994a407.jpgYou can see the harness plug near the oil filter. Something so simple, per se, took hours to get all figured out and packaged away from everything. It's all in the details...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ce455d50ad.jpgTonight I got the intake, throttle body, valvecovers, thermostat housing, etc all done.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8b5b216dd7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6255df4253.jpg

I’m going to need you to clean whatever that is where the transmission bolts to the crossmember please. Unacceptable in this build. :underchair:

Looks amazing Brother. I am so stoked for you and can’t wait to see it in person.

Thanks Lenie!! Much appreciated! Funny.. I dug back through this thread a couple months ago because I remember us talking about heat shields for the mufflers years ago. Will be installing in the next couple weeks!!
