Thanks to a dear friend, the car is 95% wired. Just have the trans left to wire in.
Was also able to get the ECU and Aim dash to communicate, which is a bit of relief since some people with this dash and E67 ECU were having issues.

Felt good to give the motor some juice. Next up is priming her with oil and we should have it running this week!
Shop mutt on guard duty.

Im using the Highway 15 kit. The only Mazda part Im using is the wiper switch, which wont work with a simple toggle switch. The kit is very well built and easy to use.

She's alive! Cranked up on the first try and besides a loose fuel connection everything went smooth. I just have to tidy up the harness in the engine bay and secure the fuel line and main power line to the chassis.
Last part to order is the driveshaft. Any recommendations for places online?

Dave, your V8M is coming together so nicely... Lotus seat(s) and AIM gauges in early NA dash --- that's gonna be hot! Keep the pics and updates coming. ...V8R tubular a arms looking good as well.

Ive spent the last couple weeks finishing up all the odds and ends of the wiring. Ready for carpet and dash.

I get my driveshaft back today from the shop. I thought it would be a bit pricey but not $455. Ah well.
Im also refabbing the rear end cradle to let exhaust run thru. The boss frog is just not designed for street running vehicles wanting a quieter setup. Ah well.
The exhaust should arrive today as well, I ordered the stainless U Fit kit from Summit with cats and resonators. Im waiting to order the mufflers until I find the ones I want. Leaning toward Dynomax Super Turbos but still researching.
Cheers

Good grief what a car....Im curious to see how you end up with the exhaust. If I got all the way to the back of the car I have either been considering one of those universal kits, or possible piecing it together from madrellbends.com Be sure to take a bunch of pictures and let us know how that universal kit works out.

End result is awesome but it really is a lot of work.
