bolted the intake in place - stll have to fab the breather and vacuum lines, and repaint a few blue parts
That actually looks like a high end engine... similar to the intake plenums on Viper and Ferrari 575.

thanks - I still have a lot of dress up work to do to make the rest of the engine bay either look good or blend into the background
but its coming along..
fabbed up my vacuum distribution block, my breather and PCV lines along with painting the core of my oil catch can that goes on the PCV line (catch can is filled with copper dish scrubbers to help knock any oil droplets out of the air, tip i picked up on GRM)
catch can will be mounted on the trunk wall directly behind the TB so that its ports will be facing the TB ports.. the lines are all layed out about how they will be on the engine with the intake plenum in the center.
and from the rear window

are these the brake lines you mentioned earlier? looks good!
Do they make stainless brake lines? Or stainless tubing for some other app? (HVAC?)

ive always just used the plain brake tubing from the parts store - never had it rust - but i suppose if you are thinking for the dress up of having clean shining metal then

ebay - was 9$ 15 for shipping - well worth it for an extruded aluminum core and milled end caps with all the fittings

Looks like it breathes flames and shoots atom bombs out the tailpipes. Definitely have to go with a red on black scheme on the car to match the motor.
I'm still very very jealous.
Please make some videos!

I am talking about how he needs to get his dohc rebuilt, installed, running and tuned, first.
he was referring to you as being a brother in reference to you making an intake for him.

my reference to him as a "brother" was more along the lines of having someone with a seriously cool car being "one of the family"
if he was to build me an intake it would have to be for the 96 lower anyhoo.
Dont worry about my car Shaun, its ok
