Update:
Been swamped with work but still plugging away. I hope to get the timing belt and that side of the motor buttoned up as well as get the wide band controller wired in as well as complete the upper engine wire tuck.
Small battery showed up, haven't even unboxed it. Fuel pump is in, need to install new gaskets and mount lower intake manifold + injectors. Then make a few more fuel lines and the fuel system is done.
Still need to do piping work to which John will be heading down and helping fabricate. Hopefully there will be a lot of progress over the next month.

I've decided to run the 9b's. I haven't pulled them off the manifolds and the manifolds haven't been pulled off the engine. If I can get a reliable 350AWHP on E-85 that should be good enough for now. I plan on running a Billet compressor wheel TD04 setup eventually, so to spend money converting 13t's and ultimately spending money again re-working that seems like a waste for a potential 50-150 more hp. To some, they make look at this as giving up on power, but I'd rather spend the money elsewhere such as some PDR work and re-upholstering the interior.
