Here are a few more pics. I painted the intake black.(not a fan of the "primered" intake look) Also did most of the wiring for the new harness and fuel pumps. New black lines and fittings are all in. Im going to be running a 3" true dual exhaust setup using 12" oval Borla XR-1 mufflers. This thing is going to be ridiculously loud from the back. I don't feel like adding all the extra stuff required to run cutouts.
..I leaned on the intake before it was dry and ended up leaving with a custom logo on my shirt haha.

My Borla XR-1 12" mufflers came in today....I don't see how they call this thing a muffler. Looks more like a "tone changer" than a sound muffler. This car is going to be LOUD. I also ended up going back to my solid mounts instead of the polys. I ran the solids for 2 years with no bad vibrations and I just don't feel comfortable using the polys with the amount of TQ this engine is going to have. Plus being that my headers are half an inch away from the floor boards I won't have to worry about any extremely annoying exhaust rattles.

Radiator and hood latch bracket mounted. The radiator is BRAND NEW never been used and is already ruined. 
Right after I mounted it I put the hood latch on the hood to align it to make a bracket and when I brought the hood down the latch went backward and ripped a hole in the radiator lol. The new one will be here tomorrow. The radiator is so big it looks like an intercooler. Hood latch bracket might not be fancy but its strong enough to jump on and the hood closes PERFECTLY.
The bumper is just resting on the car. It doesn't fit that sloppy normally.
Heres the top half of the intake after I painted it.(forgot to add this one earlier) I just used regular 3m trim paint. It matches the stock black intake color very well.

Yes sir! (thank God) I put the rear plug in and pressure shot right up to 60lbs at idle. Luckily for me I had around 15psi of pressure so none of the bearings are damaged..however if the bearings are wiped out, ERL will be replacing them.
