Looks good man, did you replace the OMP lines after all?

Thanks guys!
I did not replace the OMP lines this time, but I do plan on making some custom ones next time. I really do not like the look of these plastic lines.
As for pics... it's quite hard sometimes since I don't usually like to stop the work to take pics.
Here's one of the new engine awaiting the install
An empty engine bay
Here we go!

That main engine harness is a pita to even make look decent. I spent two days just trying to figure out what to do with it,... to no avail...
I was tempted to hack away at it and do a full tuck, but I realize that I should probably make sure the car runs properly after this instead of possibly creating more problems. I will eventually get a spare engine harness and hack away at that.

haha, update time!
As I expected, all these added items on top of the engine really hides it from glory. Kinda sad but also a relief in that the harness isn't exactly how I would like it, but its pretty hidden from view in most angles.
The engine will be ready to start soon as I take care of a few things. Anyone have any First Start Methods or Tips?
As it stands now. Will probably redo the IC outlet piping for less bends before dyno day if I can. I would still prefer a new IC with a top outlet though.
I was able to tuck the harness to the PCM box lower and out of the way.
You can see a little bit of the masterpiece from the driver's side
