trying to finish engine install, few Qs...

[1fastsn95]

ok Im bout done with my engine swap in my foxbody. A few questions I have: First, Where does the ground from the battery mount? And the bracket for the starter wire? Do they go together? Also, I have a bracket behind the intake for the TB cable. Where does it mount? And finally(for now!), I have 1.6 RRs. Can I remove the baffle in the Valve covers to make them fit? Any pics anyone has would be helpful. Thanks a million!!!!!!! Chris

plenty of people have removed the baffles to make their RR's fit. In my experience this just makes a mess as it allows extra oil into the intake. I would spring for some tall valve covers.
The battery ground should mount to a bolt on the driver side fender, but any place on the body/frame should be fine.

The big ground wire can mount anywhere on the motor. I have mine in the bolt hole on the side of the timeing chain cover.

Don't forget there is a ground wire going from the head to the firewall.

The throttle cable bracket mounts to the throttle body/egr spacer on the intake. I removed the baffle in my valve covers and now they fit fine over the 1.6's. I haven't noticed any oil ingestion due to the missing baffle.
