Excellent job. Looks great!

Just a note though... I have a 2000 (late build) and it has the coils on the bracket like you stated for the 2001 and up. I too am looking into doing this mod perhaps over the winter.

So I guess I will be working for beer to help you out, huh Dennis?

Mike, please send Pitt as much info as you can on what is needed to do this mod.

You might be indeed. Might be something I can afford to do this winter.

Mike, thanks for the link.

I really like what you have done to the looks of the motor. I would like to get my fuel rail chromed like yours,did anything have to be done to the fuel rail before it can be chromed? Do any of the holes or inside have to be plugged?We have a chrome place here but i dont know if they would know anything about doing a fuel rail. Thanks guys.

I did no prep work with my fuel rail before chroming. Just pulled it off the intake - removed the injectors - and then handed it to the chromer.
