Sorry about the images, I just upload them all on photobucket all at once. Ill upload them on this site later.
@ Seedy Al:
Nah.. I don't want to run a dry sump if I can avoid it. Its a van not a race car, lol!
A little update.
Finished modifying the throttle body that came with the plenum to not only clear the distributor but to also take the suzuki TPS.
Also after trying a bunch of different honda belts I found one that'll work.
Ive sent off my intake manifold gasket to have a 10mm thick aluminum flange made up that'll be mated to the runners of the new plenum.
A 1.6L water pump inlet fits over the box like a dream and allows me to run my rad down the passenger side of the van.
Its all working quite well at the moment, however the starter still has me stumped.
Sam.
