Default Winter Project has started - Large Pictures

Here are some pictures of my winter project. So far I have a total of about 7 hours of work into it.

The front of the motor is disassembled, the intake is off, and the driver side header is off.

Vic

Before the work starts:


Plenum is off


Fuel rail is off, use a flare wrench


Runners are off

Looks like someone's been busy! Nice intake base, btw, looks good.

Can't have a thread w/o the obligatory T/B bypass pic
Don't you just love that runner bolt under the fuel lines up front?

Really? Wow..interesting, I can easily pass those off as stock, since I thought you had swapped back on the stockers too! Sweet!
