Internals came in yesterday as well as the shipping container for sending in my case halves. I packed up a set and I will be shipping it today. I have the current motor ready to come out. Just need to borrow a hoist.

Upgraded my newer "CARB" compliant gas cans to the higher flowing "old" style.
Advantages:
- No longer need to use a funnel to fill up my car
- No longer have to hold down button the entire time it's filling
- Empties in ~1/2 the time

My block arrived! Here are some photos of it. IAG closed deck and 1/2" headstuds.
*Studs and plugs are loosely installed by hand for photos.

After sitting in my garage like this for a few weeks things have started to progress...
Motor assembly was completed by NF yesterday. I spent the day/night installing it and then spent this morning troubleshooting some issues (boost leaks at BOV, FMIC piping, TGV, and injector, and a leaking fuel line inside the tank) and then got it onto the dyno at MAP this afternoon (tuned by Nuke).
I also picked up a DSS CF driveshaft and installed that after the tuning.

Here are some photos from the dyno tuning today. I will have the dyno plots and videos later.
