Not much. The intakes are on and we are working on mounting the coils to the intercooler spacer. The bling bling should be here today. We have a few things to do to them before they go on, but we are hoping to have them on tonight. Last few nights have been late ones and I'm running out of gas. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to get the bling put on.

Here are a few updated pics. We ran into a few obsticles. The lower blower pulley needed to be cut down quite a bit since it was originally made to work with a 525. New pulleys are quite expensive, so we made these work. They used to attach with only 3 bolts to the balancer. Now, they are on a different bolt circle and have 6 bolts attaching them. No chance of them breaking now.

The next issue was the crank trigger mount. I went with a little less expensive serpentine setup. However, it didn't have a place to mount the crank trigger like the higher end one has. THat's was an huge oversight on my part. Because of that, I spent the last 1 1/2 days trying to figure out what to do and then do it. I needed to make a bracket that not only was strong enough to hold the crank trigger but not stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. After a few different designs, I finally came up with something that accomplishes both things. I still need to powdercoat them, but I can do that tomorrow. Once powdercoated, you won't even know they are there. I also had to make a new holder for the crank trigger. My usual one wouldn't work with this brakcet.

First pic is the original one that we use. The other pics are the ones that we made to fit these engines. Everything is still rough cut in these pics. I didn't take any of them all sanded and ready to coating.

One more shot of it from the back. I will post a few more pics of them all finished up once I powdercoat them.
