Looking good, I see you're going with the later model crank gear :) makes the crank timing easy, no need to make a mount for the hall sensor either since we can get the oil pump with it included. If you're dropping the distributor entirely, and need the cam position sensor(for injector timing), look at the late model 4 cylinder, it has a sensor assembly that looks to be bolt on where the distributor originally went.

Might head over to the junk yard and look around, it's a good idea :)

I'm not going to mod them yet. I'm going to run them the way they are and if I have issues I'll probably send them to 3tech to get modded.

Today was a good warm day so I painted the last of the parts.
So far I have the block together and the head assembled, intake manifold installed w\ injectors, sensors and such.

However I need to buy a few random parts here and there.

Is that where you put the VTEC* in?

You add VTEC(tm) to the oil after assembly. ;)

It is set up. I just thought the picture was garbage because it doesn't show much and (like the last one) it was taken with my cellphone.

I also used all studs for the manifold.
