Dec 17, 2009 update on wrenchedexcess's 1997 Saturn sc1

3.8 so far

Started putting on the wire harness, Had to clean it up first, Basically new shielding and some aluminum to protect it when it is near the exhaust manifolds and cross over. Had to adjust the motor mounts to get the outboard exhaust manifold to fit but it works. Clearance is real tight. So far all that I have left is some clean up and to clean the starter and install it as well. I figured it would be better to put all of this stuff on now while the engine is just sitting in the cradle rather than doing it while the engine is in the car. Got that ideal from watching them build the new Camaro on the discovery channel. So far so good.. Alt, DIS ignition, power steering pump, throttle body and most of the related brackets are installed. Just need a few decent days where the weather is sunny and above 30 degrees so I can open the garage, put the cradle on the cherry picker an move it to the front of the car.
