My brother has like dozens of KL valve covers, intake manifolds, etc etc...I can always get a set powdercoated and put em on later.
Going to Chicago Thursday and Friday...and maybe Saturday. Next weekend I will be working on this thing hard-core and maybe, just maybe, get the swap in the car. I will still have to work on wiring, power steering lines, etc etc. But we shall see how far I get.

everything should be p&p shawn, its an odb2 system going into an odb2 car i've even read where p5 ppl have left most of the FS ecu & harness in tact to run specific things, while the KL ecu runs the engine and such.-Jack

That's one of those things that I'm not all that concerned about first-off. Getting the car running and vital stuff working is most important. Stuff like an accurate tach is down the list.

Actually, went up to the dealership today with my brother to him him with his GF's Accord and he helped me get the flywheel/clutch/transmission/intermediate shaft/etc on the engine... so now, in theory, the engine is ready to go into the car. That'll prolly be the weekend after next. My brother is busy tomorrow and out of town next weekend and I want his assistance in this.
Soon...

And it definitely needs to be done by the next time you head down.

... but only the lower 2 mounts are in. Nothing else connected.
My dealership is taking one of my dad's bays and turning it into a place to take pics of our pre-owned cars. Why, I don't know. But that was the bay where my parts were. lol So after boxing everything up and putting it in my "storage office"(where I keep my hardtop), I had to go somewhere with the engine/transmission. Into the Protege5 seemed like the best idea. :D
Progress is progress. I'm a bit surprised how well the KL fits in there. I'm looking forward to getting this done more and more.
