OK, now the real work begins.
I am using a hybrid motor mount setup. Delrin on the drivers side, and MS on the passanger side. I wrapped the Delrin motor mount in heat tape to try to prevent the melting some talk about.

I had the head guy remove and tap the outlet for the oil cooler.

The Exhaust is currently being made by Abe at ArTech, as well as the MS3x by Reverant.
The build should go by a little faster now that the motor is in.
Exhaust is about 7 weeks out, so I predict 10-12 weeks to "completion"
