Again, not trying to talk crap, just offering an opinion.
Thanks for your input. But i know people who ran this kit and it worked great

Nice build thread. Thats the first time ive ever seen a manifold like that. Not knocking it and if it works it works haha. When you had the engine out how come you didnt clean the engine bay?

I cleaned the back of the firewall for now. This texas heat isnt fun working on a car in a metal storage unit. Even at night lol. Im doin abs delete in a few months when everything os running right and ls400 brakes are installed. Ill clean the fire wall alot better, its hard to get behind the brake lines. I can always clean where the battery and inyake are goin whenever. Plus im pulling the motor and painting the whole car next summer so it will be perfect then. But thanks i know ots not the best manifold but it will work. Im saving up still so next summer when we drop a gte im oir mkiv, ill build that motor coming oit of that and put in this car amd ill get a better manifold for that
