    Had a little time over the thanksgiving holiday weekend to put in a few hours.

    Ran the extended fuse box power harness thru a hidden grommet behind the passenger fender and up to the passenger air bag area. mounting the engine bay fuse box there!



    Started the extension process for the fuse box, calculated that I will need 183' of 18 gauge wire, and 39 feet of 12 gauge.
    I should get the wire soon so i can finish the harness. Going to be solder and shrinking all connections.



    Also, re-loomed and shrinked the charge harness. All plugged connections are already built into the engine wiring harness, so only connections for the charge are 8gauge from battery, for alternator and starter.



    Found a couple more pictures from the engine build.

    My builder specialized in k-series motor and heads and he added an oil mod to the head to better lubricate the cam journals.
    There is a port on the side of the head that i will run the oil feed line to.



    He tapped a custom oil feed port by the temp sensor.
    He also tapped a second port on the right side (not shown), and plugged it just in case i want to add an additional sensor.



    Lastly, a picture of the brake line tuck kit by CRSX Member EncoreDC5!! Super clean kit by the way lol
