Well, day two of build was relatively simple. I removed the remainder of accessories from the motor. I even removed the compressor. It will eventually go back on but not needed until after everything is running smoothly. I just have to remember when I put an exhaust system on the motor that the bends can't hit where the compressor will be re-installed. I also took off the spark plugs and turned the motor by hand. Everything seemed smooth. Things that should go up went up and things that should go down appeared to go down. I didn't hear any clanking!
The starter was removed, both exhaust manifolds and the alternator was taken off for now, waiting for its new brackets. Pretty bare. My next step is to put the intake manifold back on (in reverse) along with the throtle body, removing the MAS for later use on its bend.
