When combined with the bolted motor mounts, The oil pan will be very close to stock height. If I am worries, I will make an undertray that helps protect it, but the chances of hitting a solid enough object are very slim since this will not be a daily driver at all. I have two other vehicles before I have to count on this one. And IRP did a great job of working with me through every aspect of my engine build. I have every ounce of faith in this engine build. I look forward to the very first start up. I am definitely going to get it on video.

So an update:
Had to ream out the top right hole in the RA OMP Adapter. I ended up just drilling it out to 5/16" which worked perfectly. This unit is a very tight fit. I am also hoping to not have clearance issues with the BNR twins by using the Mikuni OMP.
Now I am having a problem with one of the exhaust studs. The lower stud on the front housing doesn't feel like it wants to torque down. I can get them all to click at 30 ft.lbs, but the bottom right one feels like it is just spinning at anything higher than that. I am worried that I have a stripped exhaust stud. Any ideas?

So, being laid off, I am now taking some time to start installing or working on the things that I can.
Here is the FFE Primary Rail and their 60-2 trigger wheel. I haven't decided what to do for pulleys just yet since I only have an alternator and the AC pump to be driven off the main.
So, explaining what the injector pics are showing: The riser for the rail happened to seat perfectly into the injector adapter. I used that riser to tap the adapter into place. Once the o-ring made it into the boss, it went in smoothly. And I did not have to beat on it. Just some gentle tapping with a bit of spit-lube. ;-)
Today was dedicated to tearing the interior apart to install my new black carpet... and by new, I mean the shipping label said October of 2008. I was very fortunate that the carpet and batting had not been destroyed by vermin. Especially after it spent a year in a storage unit in a not so secure box. And years spent in multiple different garages.
New carpet, letting it recompose itself.
Found this during the teardown: dafuq? 
The wifey and I made good progress today: Oh, this tan carpet will be for sale once I get the black one in and all ironed (not literally) out.
More to come as I start to be somewhat productive with my time out of a job. 
Nice!
