Well i got an update:
i got the head/intake/exhaust manifold sitting in my garage all cleaned up along with the block waiting to go back together...Right now I'm "re-wiring" some connections i did awhile back...in a quick fix i used "butt-connectors" on my IAC, MAP and KNOCK sensor..so i pulled those out and soldered and heatshrunk all the connections back to factory so now maybe they will work LOL.
Gotta install my gaskets, bolt down the head with my new head bolts and plug everything in, do an oil change and then the rest of my list and shes ready to rock-n-roll....Man do i miss driving it :cry:
Did get the WAGGY front clip installed
