So this weekend we got a lot done. Heres some pictures of the progress.

We fabricated some block off plates out of aluminum for the EGR and the secondary butterflies that we eliminated off the engine.

After that we went ahead and continued the assembly.

After the transmission was stabbed we went ahead and dropped it in the car.

Hooked up everything else and we put in all new belts.

Filled it with Engine Oil and Gear Oil. Spun it a few times to pump the oil through. Plugged the spark back and VOILA! WE GOT A RUNNING ENGINE! Super excited. We shot it off after like 10 seconds though. The radiator hoses aren't in yet and we don't have a radiator hooked up yet. So no coolant. Once that comes in, it'll be ready. Than it comes the fun stuff. Wheels, coilovers, welded diff. Thanks for reading! More to come later.
