You guys think that this will work.....
There is still some work to be done. Im going to clean it up a bit, match the TB opening to match the TB, and grind off the EGR port. But I wanted to throw it together to see it.
To answer a few questions before you ask them...
Yes, the TB dosent cover that opening at the top of the neck of the UIM. I have a plate that seals that opening, but the bolts I have are not long enough to hold the TB and plate to the UIM. So there is no problem there.
Yes, that is the stock TB linkage adapted to a later year shaft. A buddy of mine "mushroomed" the rod where it stuck threw the linkage. There was a tiny bit of side-to-side play, so he covered the end in JB Weld. It wouldnt have gone anywhere anyways...he just wanted to use some JB Weld.Leave a comment:

Got sent home early from work today("Oh no, hes near overtime!!!! Send him home!!!) so I figured I would clean the mess, under the cylinders, that I made while honing. The mess first smeared and all the shavings found their way into the texture on the underside of the engine. After about 2 hours of cleaning I cant tell if the shavings are still there or if I just cleaned it that well.
I dont really want to take the chance of the shavings still being there, and slowly ruining my engine, so I now have to find a place around me that will hot tank my block...Which sucks because I wanted to have the engine mostly put together by Monday
Not anywhere ready to put it back in...Just want to get some stuff put on/in the engine.
And me putting in my posi by the time Im done isnt looking good anymore. These things are adding up and the posi might have to wait
