I can't figure out what the actual bracket I need is! can anyone shed some light?
Do I need new mounting pad (?) also? the thing the bracket sits on inside the engine bay?

ok the one with the 2 bolt holes is for the banjo bolt for the fuel inlet line that is on the intake side. The wide motor mount is for the turbo side to fit around the dip stick tube.
How come the wide mount on the turbo side doesnt line up with the holes on my engine block then? is it the wrong mount?
put the widest one on the turbo side and take a picture and put the one with the flange on the intake side also.

shit all bad that wide turbo side looks warped a bit. Looks fucked I wouldn't use it and the intake side looks like it will fit.
no prob dude i have a set of 90 aluminum mounts the rubber is fucked on them but the bracket is in good condition.

Im trying to get my engine prepped for the drop-in.
Can I/Should I swap over my flywheel+clutch assembly from the GE to the GTE?
(pretty good condition)

are the rod knock connectors interchangeable or is there 1 connector for 1 sensor? and same question for the 6 identical connectors on the intake side? (injectors? heres a pic of just 2)

ge flywheel and pressure plate with not work on r154. If you are using the w58 you have to keep the ge parts on. They bolt up to the block fine just for the tranny they are a bit different. The injector pic you have is wrong they are up side down the clips stick up over the fuel rail. They so red white red white ect.. from the number 1 cylinder.

do I have to flip the connectors though??
it would mean taking off the whole fuel rail
hey guys harness question
there is a section of the harness that branches and goes thru the intake manifolds right?
I'm not sure if it should thread it between the gap closer to the front or back side of the intake, because if I thread through nearer to the front of the engine (picture: left) then its hard for my injector connectors to reach, and there are exposed wires touching the manifold. is this okay or can I go thru the 2 plenums closer to the rear end (picture: right) and still be able to clip everything in.
(also there is a connector or 2 that i will need to replace. Anyone have advice on ordering new connectors/identifying them? one of them is a red 87/88 injector connector)
hope my question made sense, it's hard to map out all the connections when most of them dont plug in to anything yet

the one by the fire wall goes between runner 4 and 5. The other one goes between 2 and 3 and that is how you hook up the knock sensors and all the vsv and tranny stuff.
