Message	Nice work on stuff that will be 90% hidden once the engine is installed. :-) I like the PC'd plenum - that came out really nice and the VCs too. Don't forget to double check all hose clamps/connections prior to install and orient the clamps as best you can for access once the motor is back in. I'm anticipating the post/email about how you're starting it up for the first time just as the snow starts to fall. :-) Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
