Sorry, no pictures. There really isn't anything to look at.
I didn't get much done today or tonight. I went and got the new valve stem seals and intake manifold gasket ordered. I finished the electrical stuff too except for a couple terminals on the grounding straps.
I also cleaned all the intercooler pipes out. I'll get that back on later today. Wires also got zip tied back into their holders.
The only thing I didn't do tonight that I could have done was to clean the block surface, but I'm going to try and get about 3 or 4 hours of sleep right now then I'll get the parts before hopefully getting it all back together later today.
As for a battery box, there's some extra room around the battery if I need it. I can take the little divider in front of the battery out and that's at least another inch space. If that's not enough then I'll just have to stick the battery between the strut towers in a box on race days. It shouldn't be too hard to drill mounts for the box there. Then I'll just need 2 extension cables.
At this point, I just want to get it running. I'm about $300 over budget because I had to pull the head and I damaged some valve stem seals. I also did a few extra things I didn't plan on.
