OK, got the lower manifold on! Installed the new manifold gaskets (used vacuum grease to hold them in place and provide a great seal):





Fuel Injectors and Fuel Rail (NO bolt on the front rail location this time around):





Boost Valve (18 ft lbs) and Sensors (EVAP and plug 89 in lbs):



Prepped the head (vacuum grease) and installed the manifold (44 in lbs first pass, 89 in lbs second pass):



injectors connected:





Because of the extra work on the snout, I had to 'push down' the valley cover outlet to allow the manifold to fit -- I'll have to use a 'hose' this time and not a hose connector for the vent tube.

Next, the lid (I have a new gasket for the lid and the throttle body). I'll also leave off the spacer, as I want to know what these changes did first.

Finally, I'm on the home stretch!
