ok done. first start up was awesome. just warmed it up so far. found 2 problems. leaking coolant from the firewall. i think i just have to reposition the clamp. and theres a hair line crack in the cross over. anybody know if JB Weld will fix this. AND THE CRAPPIEST PART IS I BROKE 2 BOLTS OFF. now i gotta go drill them out and re-tap.

JB weld will only be a temporary fix. It'll eventually work itself around it and began to leak again (I drove 15k miles or so with JB weld on my cracked intake :rlaugh)

Click to expand...

There was nothing wrong with the intake when I pulled it off of my old motor and all it has done was sit in the floor in my bedroom at my parents' house for a few months untouched. So i'm not quite sure what the deal is. I thoroughly inspected it while I cleaned it before I shipped it and saw nothing wrong with it

Check for coolant in the plug wells.

What about the wires? Since it is dark currently, crank the car and look to see if you are getting any sparks that are visible. It doesn't take much to damage the wires and they'll spark where they meet the boot.
