That's the 3.0 heads. I think the 3.2 head mounts the coil pack at an angle

Took some pics. Found a box of old intake parts in trunk. Box for the mufflers, not sure if there in the box or the stock ones are in the box. The car is quiet, so quiet that i dont even get it. Has front strutbar and hook lifts removed. A rod that links into holes on hood and rad support is used. Uh not sure on belt system, little rusty from sitting but you know...hard to see. Found sunroof shade in trunk, looks shot and missing carpet. And took what was left of bra on front off and man did it shine up. Pic of the engine bay is there. I forget what else i took pics of haha

They used to sell hood strut relocation kits to use with the front strut tower bar. The bar gets in the way of the oem hood strut location. Shosource may or may not have some.

I seen a kit but i didnt say if it relocated it because of the strutbar so i wasnt sure the exact reason of the kit. Is there a shosource rep on here? If not ill shoot an email

There is but I'm not sure who is exactly where regarding screen names. I know Loudsho92 used to be associated with them but I'm not sure who is who now. Could be the original hood struts otherwise they would likely be on the vehicle.
You'll have to email Mike at SHOSource thru the website. He isn't really on here that much. He's moved more to Facebook. I message him several times a week right now. He or Ryan his son are pretty good at responding.
They do offer a hood strut relocation kit provided it has a stock steel hood on it. The kit they currently offer will not work on the plastic Plus hood. He's working on a Plus kit right now. I did a test fitting on my car and gave him instructions on what needed tweaking. I'm waiting for the revised version to arrive.

Tore intake off too clean. Im surprised how easy it was, usually on the fieros i go to take off the intake and snap all the bolts but thats gm lol
Intake looks cooler on the floor. Im half asleep but i think i can put it on backwards if i put the motor in a miata. That would look cool.

Gunna guess this has the big bore butterflies already? Hey less i gotta buy lol. Took it all apart, removing what is left of the clearcoat/paint on the intake and will sand and wet sand it in stages and clearcoat it again. Im good at making aluminum look like chrome just takes a long time, oh fun days ahead of me.
Yup, BBB

The pipes are ported out to the same also, in and out of those butterfly valves. So i guess that proves the port work it had. Not sure on heads and valves though

Body is pretty rust free but brakes are rusty. Any way to tell if this has a the bigger brakes put on so i buy the right set?

You have the original 15'' wheels on there so I would say no. Most upgrades require a minimum 16" slicer wheel and other setups require 17's. You'll know for sure once you go to change them parts!

Look for the "SN74" bracket on the front brakes which allows the larger rotor.
Luigisho is correct, not much chance of having large rotors with the basket weaves.

Those are definitely stock rear brakes.
You can get new prebent brake lines from SHOnut. SHOSource also has them on their website and are drop shipped from SHOnut. I just finished replacing all the hard lines on my 91+.

Still havent found why the brakes leak. May of been a slow leak from sitting for awhile. Ill fill it up and see if i can find it leaking somewhere. Brake lines along the body look really good, just rust at the nut ends on about everything. And i hope bleeding the brakes with the abs isnt as much of a pain as it is with most 90s gm.
