MS3 Pro Sequential Injection + Coil near plug conversion thread
Part 4: Intake/Valve cover swap.
I needed to get the engine set up the way it was going to be before I started any wiring.
Before:
Taking it apart:
Going back together. This was pretty tough. Apparently this intake isn't really made to have the bolts installed nearest to the #3 and #6 intake ports. I was able to just cut down one of the bolts a bit for the #3, but I had to make a "really custom" bolt and a "really custom" allen key for the #6 one. All is good now. The valve covers (Ebay specials) had a really tough time fitting with the intake since there's even more to grind off due to the injector bosses. The valve covers have standoffs installed on them to hold the LSX round coils.
I can't get the hood all the way down yet, but it looks like it will clear. It seemed okay when I measured before I started installing...and I have seen other members use this intake before, but a different throttle body. The Holley 1000 cfm is a nice piece. It has a lot of the sensors installed already. You can see the wire hole on the firewall to the right of the heater core.
