"De-modding" a car is a lot of work! Just doesn't seem right, to remove extras, like headers, and an aftermarket oil pan, and all kinds of stuff. But, lot's of progress was made this weekend in getting the car nearly ready for the twins. The engine is nearly back to stock-ish external bolt-on components.
After putting the stock oil pan on and noticing the ample room and spacing around the back of the engine and between the oil pan and transmission pan, I'm looking forward in seeing how everything fits. There's a lot of room there! Should be a very nice setup once installed.
De-modding as part of the preparation is going to be the hard part of these install projects.

Does anyone know if the starter needs to be removed to install the stock exhaust manifolds? I tool mine off when removing the long-tubes, and will be getting stock coated manifolds from s&h, but in the meantime, if the starter won't be in the way, I'd like to put it back on.
(And FedEx drove up today; I was "hopeful", but it was just a small box for something else unrelated to this project.) C'mon, Leo, YOU'VE got a LOT to do!

Not required per say should make it easier.

It's helped me quite a bit pulling the starter, as well as removing the motor mount one side at a time.

Many thanks to Mike for helping me when I was at work on Saturday!! My headers were free floating in their spots when my buyer was picking them up in the morning. Mike took my steering shaft out, pulled the starter off to help make an easy process Sunday morning. Great success too!! Only had to take the passenger motor mount out and headers came out.
Another thanks for helping me get the 12rib crank pulley off.
Next step: valve covers, and remove cams. Get ready for turbo grinds. Other than that..car is ready for kit to arrive and install.

Sounds good would yall like me to go ahead and send the exhaust manifolds so yall can put them on. If so just pay the extra shipping and i will have them out to yall by the end if the week.

How far out are we on the rest of the kit? I don't think it's necessary to get the manifolds early. I'm ok with shipping it all together still. It shouldn't take too long to install those.
Still no idea on the eta of your Sheet Metal Intake project? I'm trying to hold out for that if it's going to be before the year is up.

I'm also ok in waiting to ship the exhaust manifolds with everything else. They won't take long to put in once we get them.
And as far as intake manifolds, we have ones we can use, at least for now, until a better one is available; so that won't hold us up.

I wonder what heat range plug Lito is going to ask us to use. Was just thinking about it. Mike, which heads do you have? Do you have my thread pattern, or the late model S197 pattern?
Also..been thinking about this from the beginning, and maybe Bobby or Jeremy can chime in. I wonder how difficult it would be to modify the cutouts to be electric. Have ya'll thought about this on your cars? I want to try and make that happen on my car.

All you have to do is buy the electric cut out minus the y pipe and bolt it on and wire it up.

Yes the intake mani will be out by the end of the year. He stopped making it to make your kits.
