Got my shift linkage all sorted out yesterday, still need to bleed the clutch line though (ignore the mess of wires):
Got the expansion tank in as well:
Oil pressure and temp sensor wires hooked up. I hooked up the grounds as well but they aren't terminated yet, I need to get some eyelets to crimp on and find a place to put them:
How i'm running the wires for now. I'll ziptie them all together, but want to run the stratified wires also beforehand since some will follow the same path I think:
Also the harness is all hooked up. It was much easier than I thought it would be with the only two tricky plugs being the water pump and fuel rail but they only took a few minutes of messing with. I have to get a nut for the bracket that attaches to the trans beneath the starter but besides that and the sensors that go on the front clip it's all set. For anyone doing it in the future, TAKE PICTURES and label everything. Labels were very helpful, but luckily I had some pics beforehand that I could zoom in and see how stuff went and it really saved me a big headache.
I went out this morning instead of going to the gym and got some more stuff done. Reconfigured my fuel pump setup. I got a longer tube so I could loop it which allows the top to compress down as shown in the pics. I also moved the pump to the other side since the white tube that stuck down from the top was also hitting and preventing compression. The line on the pump isn't seated as far as I would like, but if I have any issues i'll know where to start looking and get a better fitting line. It's on there snug with the hose clamp though so i'm not expecting any issues, especially since it doesn't move.
Install into the tank went smoothly:
Hooked up the battery and turned the key and huzzah, fuel is flowing:
Passenger side axle torqued down, the brace on the bottom that blocked the pendulum bolt also made this a bit of a pain but by rotating the axle I was able to get some better access.
Unfortunately, I didn't check the drivers side one before tightening down all the mounts so now this one is stuck below the flange and has no play to get it above. I'll loosen the ball joint and drop the control arm which should let me pull the hub out enough to get it in place. I'll need an alignment anyways from the new suspension so i'm not worried about undoing the ball joint.
After that is done i'll be figuring out the mounting of the oil cooler on the front clip and then get that on and all the sensors hooked up. Hoping to have it at the shop next week for the manifold, although it'll probably get delayed from something
