Fixed my heating by plugging the connector back on to the engine compartment blower DOH! It turns out the wires that were cut were not for the blower. I found those yesterday hanging down by the valve cover and once I plugged them in everything worked like it should, even the footwell blowers. Lesson learned, look more carefully and don't jump to conclusions. Now I'm wondering what the cut wires are for.

I also got to install the passenger seat and harness. I didn't trim the feet on this one electing instead to not fit sliders. Still a bit high and a little more forward than I like but as my race rules require the seats bolt to the OEM brackets I'm stuck for now. Have some Corbeau side mounts on the way, hoping thay may improve the situation. Otherwise we'll have to weld in some cross members and bump up a class or two.






I also started installation of the whale tale picked up from a Pelican member. Very nice aftermarket job but it looks like it will require a bit of fettling to get a perfect fit.




Then I drove this home to shakedown the new engine. It has a flat six too!
