Thanks, guess I've lost it. I was thinking about the nut size and not the thread size.

Yes, the center primary where it wraps under #2 cylinder is where it gets close. I moved them for moneypit and Isaac as much as I could, but I only have the shorty sender to compare to - might just make it.

The fan was the large 4 spoke fan.

You only need to do this on the 3x00 swaps, if you have an MPFI motor the only thing you have to do is cut the fan if it's the large one and move the coil packs.

Thanks John, I hope it clears. A long time ago I should have told you that I have a 95 3100/4T60e.

I have a 3x00 5spd. So looks like between us 3 beta testers all transmission and engies will be covered!

EDIT: well, except I have the 92-93 Beretta 2 mount trans mounts. Not sure if the older mounts will cause clearance issue or not. But at least mine will prove it can clear a 5spd bellhousing.

Front header should fit fine, it's the rear that is close.


Sorry about the delay guys, but one set is ready for shipping, the other needs another coat of ceramic. Hope you guys can give us some results :)

So for these you have to eliminate the EGR valve? I noticed you dont have the provision for that... Unless thats what the one threaded adapter is for, and you'r just having people move the O2 down to the main downpipe.

There's two threaded adapters... One on the front header one on the rear.

That particular set was ordered with two o2 bungs.

That's an sr20 valve cover, we are turbo-ing a ka24 240 and a Mazda Protege soon. As long as it's faster when it leaves the shop, we really don't discriminate vehicle platforms ;)

Here's what that same valve cover looked like when finished...
