Looks great...nice of you to put the entire build on one page.

Was the S60R shifter worth while? We've been talking of doing this on mine.

The detent spring action is nice - helps keep it in neutral. I cut mine too short - I didn't realize the spaceball shift was already shorter :rolleyes: - anyway, I'm used to it now, but it does require more effort.

I wouldn't have either, but once I got started with the M66 swap, well, what can you do? :lol:

Revising the inlet pipe again - want to improve the PTC seal.

Aluminum pipe braised in place for PTC retention. If it didn't get so cold here, I'd ditch it altogether.
