i dunno how they will put the engine back. this is their first ST with a G35.

they pulled and I assume, will be putting back the engine, by dropping the car on top of the engine, rather than placing the engine back in the car.

NOTE: Dyno results will be added to this thread sometime next week. STAY TUNED ....

here's some more pics:

timing cover and plenum:


valve covers mounted:


engine bay and front bumper:

Hey drsifu1, I really can't see if you got the costum 3M protector on your front bumper, fenders and hood, but I'll tell you it have saved me from going back to the bodyshop and getting it repainted. I've noticed rock chips and sand blasting really does heavy damaged to the front-end after a perod of time.

hey juan,

i like the fact that you can't tell, but yes, i do have a clear bra on the front bumper, 1/3 of the hood, fenders, side mirrors, as well as part of the side skirts

good luck with the veilside project. looks like being the only couple of Kenstyle cars in the States (you being the first) only lasted for a short period of time. makes me want to change things up and go with a custom widebody myself.

UPDATE:

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The engine is back in the car, almost everything is wired up, fluids added.

Engine will be cranked tomorrow and dynoed. Unfortunately, I will not be present for this, but Ted from Scott Performance will call me and let me know what the numbers are. I will prolly pick up the dyno sheets on Thursday or Friday.

No pics of the engine bay. Saving that for future shows and *crosses finger* magazine coverage
