Finally got the motor in today. I haven't had a whole day to work on it since last week. Its annoying only being able to work on it 2-3 hours a day.

So.... after I got everything installed i realized that i forgot to install the differential to block bolt and shim. I left it out because I lost the shim. I had to remove the steering rack to get at it

. Kids, dont forget the shim, you will cause damage to the differential input and transmission output shafts.

The y-pipe bolted to the catalytic converter with absolutely no issues.

I got lucky AGAIN today!!! The fuel injector spacers that I needed for the type II manifold were the same as the ones used on the 3.5. I didn't even think of using them until the last minute. FYI: 1990-1993 Honda Accords use the same spacers as the Type II.

Type II/3.5 on left, Type I on right
