Ok so I ran into some minor issues yesterday..
Since the UIM neck is much longer than the L36 one, I already knew the Throttle and cruise cables were going to sit back farther and at a narrower turn. So I released the Cables from this bracket that holds them in place, it definitely released a lot of stress that was on them lol so that was that



Look at how Bunched up everything is in this area i installed one of the upper mounts so the motor is already sitting at the position it's supposed to be in. I'm going to have to do a little trimming on the TB cable bracket so it's not rubbing on the brake lines, once I get my alum. radiator mounts finished up, the 1/4 that moves the motor forward should help out a little as well I'm not too worried about engine movement either since I have the solid lower mounts on there

Btw, the TB in this pic is wide open that's why the cruise cable is sitting like that. I was testing it to see if it fully open and funtioned properly with the pedal to the floor oh and all the connections for the sensors reach just fine too so no need extend any wires



This is with the intake tube on the TB, no rubbing issues here but its pretty damn close to everything Haha also, im not sure how the filter is going to sit with the heat shield and all. If I run into a problem then I'll probably just go ahead and get some intake duct from ZZP



There really isn't much left to do but this rain isn't allowing me to get anything done and I go in for work at 3 so that sucks lol I already put in the new radiator and fans, along with new upper and lower hoses. Man the clamp on water pump hose is a pain to get on!! I still have the axels to pop back in the trans and getting the front suspension back in order, bleeding the brakes, filling the motor and trans with oil, and filling with coolant.... easy stuff I think that's about it, besides the TB issue lol but that's also easy

I'll keep you guys updated
