For the most part... the chassis is now wired. The next part is to get the engine management wired. To do that, and make it look neat and clean(not tucked) the engine must be in so that proper routing of the engine harness, and a few pieces of the chassis harness(starter wires... oil pressure, water temp) can take place.

Thank you Jesse... and Jeff(Miura) for assisting with install


Engine - getting the last details focused on prior to install.... note the blue tape along the cam covers... trying to prevent scratching those perty camcovers during install






Off the stand........ (hopefully it won't see another engine stand for a loooong time) Note the rear water outlet... no longer rwd type.


I'm not sure... but I think all of us are camera shy. Jeff's arm holding the engine down






I'm sorry there is no sequential photo series, but putting a 4AG in a car ISN'T that tough... but in this case, not wanting to scratch anything... 3 of us put it in... no extra hands for camera action



Nestled neatly in the AE71 engine bay.....








Did a little trim install to make this next pic a bit nicer... motivation to finish!!





Well....... now that the engine is in... some further logistics is required....

The toughest part to fit in the engine bay is the new coil packs. They need to be close enough for reasonable length wires. They also should be away from the exhaust side of the engine.

A new advantage(just realized) for running a single T/B is more room on the intake side of the engine... where it is cool, where the fuel flows... where there is almost a "production" sized space to mount a big coil pack too..... good thing this is a non A/C car or I'd still be looking


for the observant, yep... that is a 2x3 holding the coil in place


Here is the photo Mark wants to see... connectors on the side where the wires come from........
