Updates:
Motor is in for good now.
Engine has been started, albeit briefly with no rad and header only.
Engine bay wiring is almost complete. The E30 harness cover was modified to work and it clears the intake!
The next steps are to install the exhaust, shifter linkage, driveshaft, and finalize the hydraulics for the brakes. From that point we can dyno tune the car
In unrelated news, I got a really nice Becker Europa head unit from a faq member. Working on a plan for a stereo setup, though I plan on listening to the engine a fair amount. The Becker can accept an input for a phone or iPod, which will likely be the way I go for music. I'm running a rear seat delete so I have lots of room for rear speakers. In my tii I ran front kick panel speaker enclosures (Eurotrash setup). Haven't decided what I will do yet in this car, may run a single center speaker in the shorty console along with 2 small speakers somewhere else up front.
