| Notes: |
My dad bought the vehicle used about a year and a helf ago, at which point, due to lack of proper maintenance, one of the pistons spun a bearing and blew a chunk out of the case wall. I recently bought a new imported motor from japan and am replacing the old one. |

back view of intake manifold. different setup from the old motor, not sure what exactly that piece does as opposed to the old intake, but i guess it helps with air flow(?)

looking into the throttle body. looks good from here and i can tell the intake is more geared towards perfomance than the old one. also very clean inside
