lol sorry I already pulled the block. took the new pistons, rods and old crank into the machine shop to get the rotating assembly balanced.

But my throttle body hit, not plenum. supposedly I am the only one who has had clearance problems... oh well. the headers actually went AROUND the steering shaft. I had to pull the steering column, instal engine/headers, then slide the column through the headers. PITA!!!
as far as compressor, you talking about the AC? it fit just fine. no problems at all. and it was very cheap to have new custom AC lines made since the vq compressor is in the same location as the KA's.

here is my nitrous build btw.
