Looking awesome! I like the red and black theme you have with the engine. The smoked headlights looked awful with the original paing, but will look sick with your black cherry paint.
I had the same TB clearence issue on my firewall. nothing a hammer couldn't fix
and sexcii, I did the revup swap. it was just as easy. the only thing I have noticed from the wiring stand point is the two additional sensors on the back of the heads. instead of two, there is now four.
