It's so damned hot and humid right now, I'm just not getting much done. I think I'm going to switch back to working on this thing late at night to avoid the high temps.
In any case, the engine is out and shortblock'd. I'm starting on cleanup, and trying to figure out if I want to crack it open for some porting.
All the numbers match. D-series, #212. Arguably the most desirable, with the improved e-shaft and meatier side plates. I am very lucky to have this motor!
I'm taking notes on what needs to be done to this motor. I think I have decided to cut and file the EGR cavity on the UIM. I'm going to build my own fuel rails and use top-feed injectors for the primaries. I'll use an N/A 13b water pump and housing with double-belt pulleys. I can't remember if I sold my REW flywheel; I hope not.
Just for shits and grins, here's what a 1st gen looks like with a 2nd gen crossmember.
