Yes decided to still go with them. They sealed fine it looks like. Left them in there sealed up carboard things they are in till i was ready to slap some copper spray on them and put em on. Gonna talk to Reptile bout setting up a time and date to have him tune my car this up and coming spring. gotta few questions again:

1) with the Gen V. the nipple on the back, i run a hose from that to a drilled fitting that goes between the butterfly and MAF. Correct?

2) The evap solenoid. I can just cut a metal plate and block that off right?

I am in the process of making a FWI. Picked up three inch PVC pipe. Should it have been four inch? Will post Photos of that as it gets done.

I decided to scrap the whole JP Double Roller even though i got the crank gear chamfered like stock and sell it. I ordered a Rollmaster Double Roller, Gen V IC Bolts, L32 Garlock revised S2/S3 S/C gasket, S/C oil, 875 and 680 belts, MPS hub, Timing Cover gasket, 3 inch DP gasket to totally finish off this build.

Decided to paint the Gen V red and black. 5 dollars rattle buckets are better than spendin 125 to get it finished polish. Looks sexy ill post pics later.

Forgot to get a 180* T-Stat, Gen V turndown, and new coil packs since mine are cracked(beats me how). But stock coil packs not the BORG or MSD junk ones.
