    The model 7 912ULS firewall forward has most of the required parts with the exception of two naca ducts and
    some minor odds and ends.
    Dustin's twin STI build thread is the best reference source for this install.
    Added 3 switches and breakers for the pumps and ecu.
    Intercooler came with the engine but not the hoses.
    This 7 had 500 hours on it and is getting a makeover, nosewheel to tailwheel, new power, STI wing, new radiator and oil cooler, prop ect.
    By the way, I really enjoy your YouTube videos, keep up the great work.
    Thanks.

    Made it out of the barn and ran it for almost an hour.
    Waiting for one egt probe and the intercooler, ran a bypass tube and stuck a bolt in the probe bung.
    Kinda redneck but really wanted to see it spin the prop.
    Still waiting on the nr prop.
    Should be able to get it to the hangar soon.

    Intercooler showed up yesterday!
    Ordered a couple different intake hoses of course, but now I can make more progress.
    Going to start with the old warpdrive prop and once everything is working decent switch to the NR 79" 3 blade.
