Spent some time getting the engine ready to install in ERA #753 this weekend. Added the coolant expansion tank, all of the connections for water,
oil, gauge, and fuel lines, and adjusted the IAC motor so that it would not hit the firewall. Also disassembled and re-polished the stack injection system. Here's a couple of pictures of the finished engine - ready to drop in the hole. One of the
oil filter lines will be removed to allow connection to the
oil cooler on the car. I fab-ed up the second line so I could pre-oil the motor and check oil pressure and for leaks.
Here's a picture of the repositioned IAC motor and polished cover plate.
Finally, I took a shot of the IAC air block and plumbing while the cover plate and IAC motor were off the engine. The lines under the intake that you see in the picture run to each port on the intake manifold. This allows the FAST XFI computer to regulate the motor's idle my using the IAC to control the amount of air going into the motor when its running at idle.
My car is going to be delivered Friday - I can hardly wait to get the motor into the car!
