It's sitting in a box ready for shipping, unfortunately I got laid off 5 months ago so the SC is still sitting in a box. I put all my old gear back on my original manifold, using the fuel rails from the extra Trooper one - the intake port is actually a different size so it's not a direct swap. I left the tensioning plate on the front of the motor behind the pulley as I intend to eventually get the SC back on there.

    I found someone locally who could do the job but never got a response when I called and left several messages. I'm not sure who I'll use at this point.

    Since I noticed the link in Green Dragons post is dead, I did a little snooping.

    I hope any of this will eventually lead to something useful to you...
