Looking good.... Can't wait to see the pictures and read the write-ups. If everything goes to plans, I'll be doing mine starting US memorial weekend.
BTW, are you doing it yourself in your garage without a lift? That's the way I'm planning to install mine...
Thanks!

I can't argue with the quality and the company, but man when I first picked up the FMIC, I was pretty suprised at how heavy it was. It's all good, it's rugged and makes a nice heat sink, it was just suprising how "beefy" it was.

are you going to do the install without taking the engine out?
2 pic requests, before and after of the stock fuel line that needs to be bent and the same for the AC (i think, maybe its the PS) line in the front to allow room for the piping
thanks

Will try and take a before and after, not up to that point yet, still removing everything. I think we're calling it a night for now, we're working on the manifolds, and there are about 5 total bolts on those left.
A tip for anybody doing this..on the steel water tube on the right hand side, there is a bolt on the bottom that connects to the cast water tube. I don't have the FSM, so maybe it says in there. But that was a pretty hard bolt to get to, we found it much easier once the manifold heat shield was taken out of there to get that right off. Aside from that, everything is not THAT bad so far, just some PIA bolts here and there, but fairly straightforward. Pics look similar as before just with a few more tubes and what not taken out, more pics to come once the manifolds are gone!
