There's alot of little things here that I'm liking. Like the fact that the coolant inlet and outlet are exactly opposite each other, means the rad will flow and cool well. The position of the output and the control style of the alternator will make charging system upgrades (stereo guys) easy. The factory chamfered oil holes on the crank are a very nice touch. And the factory exhaust mani looks like it's begging for a slip on collector and subsequent removal of that first cat.

It looks like the crank shaft position sensor will be a bitch to change though and it doesn't look like the tone ring is keyed which would allow for easy shimming... The positioning hole may be adjustable, but even if it is, removing the tranny for an easy degree or two of timing doesn't seem worth it.

Hopefully the rear upper control arm bushings are big enough for an aftermarket adjustment kit to be offered, it's hard to tell.

All in all, great pics. THANKS
