Finally got some time to myself and was able to finish up the motor.
I will not use any sensors that came off this motor and will take them off my
known good running motor that is on my car now. The motor ain't pretty from the
side since the previous owner had let it sit in his backyard.
Here are some pictures of the finished product
Clean bead of Nissan RTV every where

The motor is just sitting in my garage waiting.
Right before the car is ready to go into the spray booth
I will pull the old motor so until then no updates on this thread
but I will update the other thread with some pics I took from Thursday

Figure I would update been so busy lately.
I pulled out the motor 3 weeks ago and had the engine bay sprayed.
While the engine bay was getting sprayed I was transferring things from one
motor to the other.
I started putting in the motor on Wednesday.
Thursday spent the day modifying the Rad support for the Koyo R Rad and
installing and double checking everything even got to start up the car and let it run for a few. I found that the hard line for the Steering rack had broken while pulling/installing the motor so I had to make a new hard line.
Saturday I made the new hard line for the steering rack and reinstalled my exhaust and swaybars. I thought i had a vacuum leak did a smoke test no leaks found out Cyl 6 coil pack wasn't totally plugged in.
Sunday I tried bleeding the clutch and coolant which I still have not finished (Waiting on some tools). Put some of the body stuff back on the car so I can have room in my garage to store the car.
Engine bay sprayed
motor back in car and sitting in my driveway
Sourcing a new bodyshop to finish the car

Time to update
Was forced to do headwork since the valves were pitted because the previous owner had let the motor sit in his backyard.
Supertech Inconel Valves (Flat)
Ferrea Valve seals
HR Valve Springs
Serdi Valve Job
No porting
Changed up some other parts:
DW 800cc Injectors
Southbend DXD Clutch Stage 5 FE
Here are some pics.

Hope you find a new body shop soon so you can get the sexy beast in time to enjoy some nice weather.
it seems like the only work that was done efficiently was the work you did yourself... you know how the saying goes when you want something done...
i might be out in NJ soon, i'll hit you up maybe i'll stop by
