So, I did some mock up of the intake manifold on the head... It's an extremely large manifold, and sticks out quite a bit. I'll probably have to relocate my fuse box on the passenger side, oh well. I also bolted my VVL relocation plates up. They are all o-ring sealed, which is nice. I should have my Mazworx proprietary headstuds, Apexi head gasket and Tomei cams gears delivered sometime this week. Pictures!









I overlaid the VE intake manifold gasket to my old DE gasket and was amazed at just how much of a difference the intake ports are between the the two heads...
